Unrelated to investing per se but relative to fundamentally addressing the real world practices of effecient infrastructure in residential buildings as a whole is the extreme and profound unwillingness of individual property owners to actually embrace and implement equipment & methodologies to mitigate the "purported" climate crisis.From my myopic perspective having to fight with residential customers who have zero knowledge of thermo dynamic, ohm's law and efficiency measures is highly hypocritical.People claim to care but are closed minded to energy saving and efficient operating homes.End rant

I really don't recommend doing "The Infinite Banking Concept" per se if you plan to leverage the cash value for investing in real estate.

So far the two markets where I own (SE FL and Philadelphia) are still going gangbusters. 

Debt CAN be bad, but it is not per se bad.

I would get with the local REIA and se if they are doing anything to fight this and then join efforts with them.

That said, if you can find a position where there is no ceiling per se, then you can still achieve good income however you are going to have to produce good volume.Now, all that said, it is not too different for RE agents.  

There's no problem with it per se, as long as it cash flows really well, that's good enough.

Hello, was wondering if anyone could refer a quality contractor for a quick rehab project on a rental unit.I am in the Canton, Plymouth, Westland, Livonia area.Thanks!

@Brandon Hall From an accounting perspective yes that would be the "operations view," but from a lending and banking point of view the cash flow statement is the most important aside from the profit and loss statement since the earnings could be stored in current assets or accounts receivables and the turn time on converting that AR/asset into "cash," may be many days out.I guess if you're doing your P&L on a cash basis and this is only rental real estate then that could be used, however there are other deductions we add back that aren't typical that affect qualifying income such as .23 cents per business mileage (IRS rate for depreciation for bus. miles) claimed on line 44A of schedule C, home office use, we give the borrower back half of the SE tax since a normal wage earner would only have to pay half we try to put the SE borrower on the same playing field and more.
