My advice would be to make sure your purchase and sale agreement has a marketing & assignability clause so you protect your rights to promote not only the contract but the property.

I try to focus on the policy or behavior, not the party or ideology promoting it.

You need to have a purchase and sale agreement in place with a marketing clause to be able to promote a property. 

I use airbnb and vrbo to promote my MTRs.

This leaves friends/relatives wanting to help you out (emotional based investing) or people unsophisticated and naive (likely disciples of a currently heavily promoted guru).When I, or any other investors (with significant capital) I know of invest, either equity or debt), we only consider deals where (1) the “sponsor”, or borrower have a significant investment of their own capital, unless they’ve owned the property many years.

This risk is particularly concerning during economic downturns or personal financial hardships.In summary, while whole life insurance can provide certain benefits, it is crucial to consider the costs, limitations, and long-term implications before using it as a funding source for real estate investments.To be clear, I don't fault @Brandon Beaudoin for promoting products like this. 

I received a promotional email from Anchor Loans.
