Find a Safe Bank

   

Yo! NewHope! **UPDATE** Own Your Own Bank? YES!

UPDATE: My broker returned from a business trip today and called to tell me that he will be meeting with the brokers who do these leveraged insurance policies. They will meet this Friday 9/5.
I will post the details of the programs.

UPDATE SEP 18:
On 9/9 I scheduled a face-to-face meeting for 9/16. In view of the market developments this week of 9/15, I cancelled our meeting and tenatively re-scheduled for 9/26.

Again I apologize for not up-dating everyone.

Here are some helpful links about using life insurance as a tax effective, source of capital/cash flow

I've been positioning myself for independence from all banks. One of the tools I work with is whole life insurance policies.

By borrowing from your own policy you avoid paying interest to banks. You can also pay yourself the interest you would normally pay on a mortgage as you repay the loan you took from the insurance policy.

The proceeds from the loan are not taxable since they are a loan.

Done properly, the premiums paid into the policy can also be tax deductible, as in the case of a business entity.

So you have a tax free, interest free, growth mechanism. In essence you create your own bank.

Yesterday I came upon something I was not aware of. My broker told me some banks (i.e. First Credit Suisse) are insuring people's lives for example for $3 million. They give the insured say $500,000 up front. The bank owns the policy and is the beneficiary. When the insured dies, the survivors receive say $500,000. And the bank profits by $2 million.

I was just looking for legal ways to protect trading profits from excessive taxes and along comes something I never thought of before.

Another aspect of having your own bank...if your home is paid for, you can borrow against it, using your own bank and the lein would protect the equity from judgements. So it's like a self-contained tax shelter, money maker and asset protection system. All legal.

I'm told this is called leveraging your insurability.

People in their 60's and 70's are doing this.

I have more due dilligence to do. I'll be meeting with some people in the coming week.

If you know anything about this please post what you know here.
Thanks.

It apears to be a fast way to raise capital with no risk.

So why no updates or answered emails?

Hey Daddy, you put this stuff up here. You get peoples hopes up, you come back with your last update and then...........ZIP! I have sent you a personal email....ZIP, not even a reply of drop dead !

Why? If it is a bust or a misunderstanding, SAY SO, it's O.K., but to just bail isn't.

newhope: My apologies! Thanks for popping this up.

DON'T DROP DEAD! MY FAULT.

I forgot to update the thread. I had some email back and forth and STILL forgot to update this.

This is what happened;
I had a conference call with the broker and attorney on 9/9. I asked lots of qustions.

1. The leveraged premium program where you get cash up fornt is done for folks around age 70.

2. As far as using policies for a source of capital - yes - that is done and is very 'tax effective'.

3. On 9/9 I scheduled a face-to-face meeting for 9/16. In view of the market developments this week of 9/15, I cancelled our meeting and tenatively re-scheduled for 9/26.

Again I apologize for not up-dating everyone.

Life Insurance
Profit From Your Insurability

Proper financial planning involves making sure you are taking advantage of every available asset and financial opportunity. However, there is one asset people often ignore that could potentially add hundreds of thousands of dollars to your net worth---your insurability.

Everyone in reasonable health could go to an insurance company and get life insurance, this is your insurability. Life insurance companies will base how much insurance to give you on your age, health, assets, income, etc. Often, people will buy insurance based on paying off a liability at death or replacing income.

However, they may not purchase the maximum amount the insurance company will allow. There is now a wa y to monetize this excess insurability and potentially increase your net worth by hundreds of thousands of dollars through an innovative program called Premium Financing. The market for this type of program is currently $10 billion dollars and expected to increase to over $100 billion over the next few years.

Background
During the AIDS crisis of the 80's many AIDS patients had life insurance policies and what they thought was a terminal illness. Often times they needed money to pay for astronomical medical bills. Investment companies sprung up that were willing to buy their policies for more than the cash value, pay the premiums, and then would get the death benefit when they died. It was a win-win situation---the AIDS patient got money that they needed and the investment company got the eventual death benefit of the life insurance policy.

Today, these investment companies focus on buying policies from seniors who no longer want or need them.
Premium Financing
Premium Financing is a new twist on this concept. Instead of buying life insurance policies from people who do not want them, Premium Financing focuses on getting people to buy life insurance with the ability to sell it back within a short time period. Here's how it works:

Step 1: A senior, usually age 70 or older, would buy a life insurance policy
Step 2: A finance company would lend the senior the money to pay the premiums. The loan would be backed by the life insurance policy and there would be no out of pocket expense to the senior.
Step 3: The senior would hold the policy for a period of time, generally 2 years. If he or she died during that period, their beneficiaries would get the death benefit of the policy minus the premiums the finance company paid plus interest.
Step 4: at the end of two years, the senior can choose to keep the policy by paying back the finance company or selling the policy to an investment company and getting the proceeds after the finance company is paid off. Here is an example of a typical transaction:
A senior buys a $5 million insurance policy on his life. Premiums of $250,000 per year are paid by the finance company. If he dies during the 2 year period his family gets $4.3 million after the lender is paid back. After 2 years, the senior sells the policy and nets $375,000. So in effect, the senior has no out of pocket cost, if he dies during the two years his family gets $4.3 million and if he lives the full 2 years, he gets $375,000.

Those who take the time to understand and take advantage of this new market may find a way to add hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to their net worth and the net worth of their family.

If I'm not mistaken

this is no different than tax evasion, money laundering, "anonymous banking" and identity fraud.

Don't be silly, this is not a new idea, if it were legal and doable, you think we'd not have libertarian tax protest groups running it already?

You are mistaken.

It's not tax evasion, it's tax avoidance. Avoiding taxes is when you reduce the amount the IRS can tax.

Like you said, it's not a new idea. Rich people have been doing this kind of thing for a very long time.

Money laundering? Buying life insurance is money laundering? anonymous banking? How is this anonymous?

I'm going one step more

I have been talking to friends and relatives about our monetary system. Its obvious that it will be around for some time to come unless a something major happens to shift the people's perspectives. The American citizens are just too ignorant to stand up and demand reform right now.

In the meantime, I have proposed the following. If you cant beat them, join them...

Thats right. I am looking into starting my own bank, chartered under one of the several states. I'll have to raise $5 million capital before I can even file the application. Its worth a shot.

A Great Idea

I haven't gone that way because I don't want to commit the time. And I haven't found anyone I trust to shepherd it through for me yet.

But it's the way to go. Independence, As it grows it will have more influence.

"Committed To The Eradication Of Poverty Among Patriots"

Loans?

What type of loans would your bank put out for?

Homes?..?
Small Business. :)
Student loans ... :)
or... would you be able to store gold?

Imagine paying for gas with a real gold card.

wouldn't matter to me though,,,,I would be riding my motorized skateboard on hemp ethanol. And making American Made clothes in hemp fabric.

Try my perspective....

(Illustrating a mutually owned whole life policy)I don't know which insurance company you are getting an illustration from, but these proposals even at current levels take awhile to get started. After 5 years you are just breaking even (and this is just overfunding the insurance policy).... So even if I keep my money in a bank then this is a breakeven transaction. Not to mention the purchasing power of the dollar has gone down. Now let's take that this is under a scenario of current rates the insurance industry is using to illustrate. Have you seen the Guaranteed rates? (These are costs the insurance company can at maximum charge a policyowner) Good luck with your bank then sucking $$$$ out of the policy. Rate of return then is plummeting. 10 year holding period under the rosiest of scenarios is a meager 4.5%.

Are using some Circle of Wealth or Leap software? If I was going to touch this stuff it would be a Life Settlement of some kind. Then I would purchase a policy, keep up the premiums, guy having a LE of 3 (life expectancy of 3 years) and make 20% return. Good luck with "be your own bank."

The only thing I like is the creditor protection, and some LUC (liquididty, use and control) but I just don't see this being a great investment for the next 10 years....

Again, I am looking fully funded up-front.

Not incremental payments. If I was 20 years old I'd consider that for long term with the tax and interest savings for later in life. But I'm just looking for a place to put cash tax free. Then borrow it back untaxed as loan proceeds. I just want to starve the IRS any way I can.
Making money is not an issue. Keeping it is.
And this is a small part of the whole investment plan.I just don't want money I use for personal purposes (income) being taxed.

Thanks for the other aspects.

I'm still learning. I just know there is some benefit going forward. There will be other discoveries.

Thanks for making the update.

Freedom may be worth searching for.

Remember, Dont battle the govt with guns(ALONE), Beat them in court, in state legislature, or hire Ron Paul for president.

So many explanations on this stuff....

I have seen so many type of ways using insurance that are creative ways to circumvent the a%$#holes in Washington. Springing cash values, deducting hundreds of thousands of dollars because of IRS not given a limit to how much you set aside for disability, Arbitraging insurance with annuities...
I understood this being a funded to the MEC type policy....Probably seeing a UL policy... My story is I just jumped from the insurance world to the coin and bullion world. Simply put, the gold and silver world is still at the private transaction level. If you buy from me, then I'm not reporting the transaction. Insurance you do. They will monitor your insurance, but how can they monitor the gold and silver in your pocket or vault. All the coin dealers aren't reporting you cost basis or what you paid for the bullion before you came to them. That's why gold and silver was representative of freedom from any entity or government. That's why they detest it.
Trust me they have changed the rules many times, and I am starting to hear that even the idea of creditor protection being screwed with.

I hear you

The one thing that will never change is that there are more of us than there are of them.

They don't have enough boots on the ground to chase everyone. And they're basically stupid too.

The Problem I have with it

The Problem I have with it is the insurance company (IC) is using your money for their own growth vehicle and allowing you the privilege of borrowing your own money. This is the problem with banking monopolies and law. You should be able to do this without the IC but you can’t.

It might be good in the beginning as a tax shelter but who gets the interest payments you or the IC? I was an Insurance agent in a past life

for a couple years and was appalled at the way the laws are written to benefit the insurance company which is why I got out of it. Most people never read their policy contract much less understand it.

Also you will be contributing to the fractional reserve system. The IC will be using your pledged payments as an asset to loan against and they will be investing it and if you are making 5% they will be making at least 10%.

I am not saying I am an expert here but do the due diligence very carefully. It still might make sense as a tax shelter if for no other reason but just remember the IC are not doing this to help you they are only doing it to help themselves and the only reason they offer any benefits to you is to entice you into to it so they can help themselves. If they were not making something off of it they wouldn’t be doing it. Not that I am opposed to that but in my experience usually any benefit to you is just a crumb compared to what they are making.

hawkiye: Thanks for knowledgeable reply

I first looked into this with the idea of paying the policy 100% upfront to shelter profits. I was also looking for ways to lein my properties with friendly leins that I could profit from. Then I saw that there is a clause in the insurance contract that says I can control where the funds are invested. Who better than myself?

So the company is limited by my choice in terms of being able to use my asset to profit.

As far as the fractional banking system. That will go on wether I do this or not.

You also touch on another interest I have. That being, buying an existing IC and revolutionizing how we do business. Change the system from the inside. There's plenty of fat in banking and insurance. I learned in my days of management with Home Depot, that where there's fat there's opportunity.

I have more homework to do.

Thanks again.

No Problem, I am definitely

No Problem, I am definitely interested in knowing more about it as you learn more. I am not opposed to using the system against itself to what degree you can since most of us are stuck in it for the time being anyway.

I have a couple properties and I am mortgaged to the hilt, one I live in, one is an investment I mortgaged the other to get into. I am building a custom handcrafted log home on it but then the real estate bubble burst and I am not sure how it will work out. Hopefully it is enough of a niche market of the more affluent that I will still be able to get enough out of it, provided I finish it before things get too bad. However I would love to come up with a way to pay off those mortgages now.

So keep us posted.

Hey Daddy

I have a whole life insurance policy that I pay monthly into for growth. I am only able to take out (tax free) what I put in, I can not take out any amount that is in the base amount. Is this the same?

For example, if you have a $500,000 (base) policy and your making $100 monthly payments into the policy, in 12 months, you could only take out $1,200 (only what you put in). This is similar to what I have...

"We dare not forget that we are heirs of that first revolution" -JFK

"We dare not forget that we are heirs of that first revolution" -JFK

Deliverance: Not much to borrow against right?

That's why I got so fired-up over the up-front payout from First Credit Suisse Bank.

It gives the person who doesn't have a lump sum on hand the opportunity to fund another policy to work with for borrowing.

You really do become your own mortgage company.

"Committed To The Eradication Of Poverty Among Patriots"

"GINO" = Government In Name Only

yearly payment to policy writer?

My broker told me some banks (i.e. First Credit Suisse) are insuring people's lives for example for $3 million. They give the insured say $500,000 up front. The bank owns the policy and is the beneficiary. When the insured dies, the survivors receive say $500,000. And the bank profits by $2 million.

And does the agreement have you pay $5K (or whatever) every year of your life to the policy writer?

Not sure yet.

I've heard of a percentage being paid annually. But it's no different than taking out a term loan for a business.

And I can tell you this for sure...if you can lock in 3, 4 or even 5% now for $500,000 cash then you're doing great because interest rates are going to rise real hard. The FED may not do it but the market will. Take it to the bank.

Just one example:
In my business, just $50,000 (10%) of $500,000 will cover 100 mini S&P contracts.
Each day I average 50 ponits or $2,500 per contract in profits.
Trading 100 contracts @ $2,500 I gain $250,000 a day.
So if the bank charged me 5% per year for the $500,000 ($25,000)
I would put aside 20 years worth of interest payments ($500,000) in two days.
I still get a portion of the death benefit ($500,000) for my survivors and enjoy the use of the money TAX FREE.

I'll pay the interest. but it's the last time I do. From then on I borrow from my other policies to buy real assets. I pocket the interest I pay to myself and avoid taxes.

Put a $2 Million price on my head? No Thanks!

Someone has to pay the premiums on that policy, and it is going to be pretty big premiums. The bank does all that "for" you? For as long as you live... and then when you cease living... THEN they get to cash in big?

Does anyone else see the problem with this?

No Thanks! I prefer to be worth more alive than dead.

Isn't that kind of that walmart did to their employees

, but they were taking out the life insurance without their employees knowledge.
----------------
Also, If someone has $2 mil on my head, is there not an incentive to have me knocked off.

typical

Many companies take out life insurance on their senior and some mid-level employees. Most employees don't bother to read all of the employment contract, so they don't know about it.

If the employees don't like it, they should work somewhere else. Free market...

As a freedom lover that was my thinking as well

But what employer or anyone for that matter will pay you just for being alive?
I got over it real quick as I began to see how many people, especially older folks on fixed incomes could benefit. And the investment of those up-front funds can produce a cash flow.

And the beauty of it is, the policy holder is on record as having a motive for your death. So they would be the first to be suspected.

I can think of far more unscrupulous dealings that people participate in without any consideration everyday.
1. Mortgages - you pay back 3 or 4 times what you borrow.
2. Car loans - last longer than the cars
3. Personal Income tax - = slavery

Think of it like this. With one up-front payout, an average person can begin to emancipate himself from the above financial systems of bondage.
Its not a loan so it's not debt bondage.

I do not have a paid for house, but, since I have no life insurance either, I sure would like to get into that life insurance deal. You would not believe how much $500,000 would help me right now. PLEASE let me know if you find out about that one...

That's the point exactly.

Take the funds from policy #1.
Then buy the house. Pay for it in cash or take a small mortgage.
Then buy another policy #2. Pay it up in full.
Borrow against the house from the paid up policy #2 and pay yourself (via the policy) principle and interest.

Yes you can

This is very interesting I just heard about this from my insurance agent yesterday. It is called infinity banking and its a product from New York Life. You can front load a policy through a business and then after 4 years of accruals your dividends will be larger than the interest you owe on the loan you take out, so you are effectively having another source of income from the dividends to pay for the loan and any income you can generate on the cash you take out of the policy. There are also some tax advantages in there as well. I am getting a packet in the mail to find out more, I will post an update if I can find this thread again.

Just to be clear...

The Infinty plan is what I was initially involved with.

This other option of partnering with a bank is very different. It actually gives you up front cas to go out and buy the infinity plan - paid up in full. Then you can borrow against it for any other use. Again, the loan proceeds are not taxed as income.

And yes, I forgot that dividends on life insurance are also tax free income.

Yowza!
