I read the 101 and the thread where it was chopped to pieces, especially enjoyed the active real estate investor and how he used the vehicle...not the insurance ;), its sinking in.Your statement made in that thread is the golden nugget;——start quote——“A properly designed policy for leverage like this should have about 85% cash value to premium in a 5-pay or 7-pay design.
