If you play the game correctly right now, 5 yrs from now everything in your life is free.

One such way to play “correctly” = WHOLE LIFE. Rich ppl use whole life / IULs not term.

Term is short term coverage. Permanent coverage = long term asset.

🏆 $10mm policy (cont’d)
= $3mm funded over ~10 yrs

That’s $300k/yr for 10 yrs with IRR in the middle after the 4-5 yr mark.

🏆 5 yrs in = $1.5mm “cash value” producing 6% per year

BUT - permanent coverage is a store of value not just a return vehicle. Which means…
🏆 90% of your cash value can be loaned against for ~3-5% interest.

Do the math…

90% of $1.5mm = $1.35mm @ ~4% interest = $54k annual cost.

But $1.5mm earning 6% = $90k earned.

You’re loaning money against itself and the true interest rate is negative.
🏆 You don’t need banks.

Self funded “internal” bank and you capture the interest on your own loans.

Picture a really rich person and they’re 100x this amount (you can insure line 30 TIMES your annual income, do that math)

🏡 A MASTERCLASS IN REI ACQUISITION

I don’t “teach” real estate.

You cannot pay me for a course or for mentorship.

I *buy* real estate.

Quite a lot of it… and every now & then feel compelled to share what’s working and what’s not. Lessons from my last $20mm 👇
When you’re buying stocks & companies you’re betting on the management team & the R&D… you’re making this bet:

“This company will out-innovate and out-hustle everyone else…”

It’s a fool’s errand unless you know how hedging works… with REAL ESTATE — you’re betting on this:
🏆 20 years from now, people will like to sleep with a roof over their heads.

Generally speaking, ppl don’t LIKE being homeless. Although EVERYTHING incurs a measure of risk, the ‘risks’ in real estate come from almost exclusively from VALUE/PRICE.

Walt Disney denied 302 times for a loan to start Disneyland.

Fired from first job for not being creative enough.

One of his first businesses ran out of money and went bankrupt after only 2 years. Today company holds over 100 billion in assets.
Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.

Stephen King was rejected 30 times for his first book because his story “would not sell” - he was 20 years old.
He threw the manuscript in the trash, angry, but his wife pulled it out and convinced him to keep resubmitting it...

Once he got a publisher it sold over a million copies it’s first year.

You never know how close you are.

To live without regret:

- treat people kindly even when they are mean

- become good at “goodbye,” many ppl come in and out of your life and you want to treat them well on the EXIT, not just the ENTRANCE
- smile at people, especially service workers (baristas, waitresses, grocery store workers) - their lives are harder than yours and a smile goes a long way

- don’t trade success at home for success at work, it’s a bad trade...
- that doesn’t mean you can only have one or the other, just that you know where your real priorities are

- give money to those less fortunate, EVEN when you *are* the “less fortunate”

Rules for becoming financially independent:

🏆 Live on ~50% of what you make

Bankers have two terms/levers on this: “cashflow” (income) and “burn” (expenses). Increase cashflow or decrease burn to get down to 50%.
🏆 Invest 100% of what’s left

Don’t ask “what percentage should I invest,” instead ask:

“What do I need to live on,” then put 100% of what’s left into securing assets.
🏆 Don’t spend your passive cashflows

Build up reserves. 3 yrs. 5 yrs. 7 yrs. Let the accounts fill up until you have as much coming in from assets as you do from your time.

To the timid and the fearful:

A day will come when the one thing you will wish for above anything else is the opportunity to go back and do it different.

You will crave, with every fiber of your soul, for the impossible chance to go back & to change things.
You'll dream what it could've been like to be stronger.. what it could've felt like to have courage, to risk something for a worthy cause.

You'll fight off feelings of regret from wasting years of the only life you will ever have while other people went for it.
You will remember ALL the memories, of when you swore you were doing what was "safe" and "prudent" but really you were weak and simply afraid of losing.

In your attempt to never lose you will ensure your greatest loss of all time: having never actually lived...

To be taken with a grain of salt:

Your cash reserves are limiting you.

Person A makes $1,000,000 per year and keeps $750k in cash.

Person B makes $1,000,000 per year, spends $250k and dumps $750k in asset base.

Apply leverage @ 75% LTV = $3M assets.
Over first 12 months here’s what happens:

- $3M turns into $3.2M conservative.
- Debt structured correctly reduces $2.25M to $2.1M
- $200k bump on assets has no debt, pure net worth
- Cash flow created @ 8% on $750k = $60k bump
All in first 12 months = $385k+ and $750k protected against assets.

Off $750k that’s 51% growth rate.

Compound over 5 yrs and you will hate yourself for hoarding cash while players strategically DEPLOY cash.
