    How I Used Life Insurance to Buy Rental Properties (With Gary Pinkerton)

    What if you could use your life insurance policy to help buy rental properties while your policy continues building cash value? For years, I heard people talking about overfunded whole life insurance policies and something called "infinite banking." And honestly? I couldn't quite wrap my head around how it all worked. Then I met Gary, and things finally started making sense. I eventually funded my own whole life insurance policy and used a policy loan to help purchase rental properties. In this episode, Gary joins me to explain how this strategy works in plain English, without all the complicated financial jargon. Here's what we cover: What an overfunded whole life insurance policy actually isHow borrowing against your policy's cash value worksHow investors can use policy loans toward rental property down paymentsWhat mortgage lenders need to know about these fundsWhy properly structuring your policy mattersWhen having multiple policies might make senseWhy reviewing your policy regularly is importantWant to Connect With Gary?

    The Retirement Mistake I Don't Want to Make at 70

    A conversation with one of my clients this week got me thinking about something I hadn't really considered in a while: What happens when we reach retirement age and realize we haven't built enough income to comfortably retire? As an entrepreneur and mom of four, I've always been responsible for my own retirement. I don't have an employer contributing to a 401(k) or a pension waiting for me. That's one of the biggest reasons I started investing in rental properties about 12 years ago. In this episode, I'm sharing why real estate has become such an important part of my retirement strategy, how rental income can change over time, and why you might not need nearly as many rental properties as you think to build long-term financial security. We'll also talk about my Lazy Investor Method, built around three things: People, Property, and Process. It's the approach I use to invest out of state without becoming a landlord.
