Today's guest is going to help us rethink debt.  Specifically the type of debt we might put on a Real Estate Investment.  Instead of going to a traditional bank or lender, did you know that there is a Tax-Advantaged way to loan that money to yourself?

Mark Willis is going to explain how this is possible through a Super-Charged, Modernized, and Maximized Whole Life Insurance Policy.  Mark is a certified financial planner, two-time best-selling author, and owner of Lake Growth Financial Services.  He also hosts the "Not Your Average Financial Podcast" and helps his clients invest in real estate without going broke while creating retirement income that they won't outlive.

Mark will be pushing back on the conventional wisdom regarding whole life insurance v.s. term life insurance, and explain how a whole life insurance policy, properly set up, can be used to loan money toward your investments.  He'll also discuss the tax benefits and the returns you can expect.  

Since this is a new concept to me as well, I do my best to ask Mark a lot of detailed questions about how Whole-Life Insurance Lending really works.  If you're looking for more tax-advantaged ways to lend yourself money and fund your deals, then this is definitely an episode you won't want to miss.

Welcome to a very special 200th Episode!  To celebrate I thought it would be fun to have a conversation with the man who made this podcast possible – Clay Powell, the director of the Rental Property Owners Association.

Clay and I will be talking about the importance of organizations like the RPOA and how we’re helping landlords and investors through the good times, which is what we’ve all been experiencing for the past ten years, and the anticipated downturn that many economists are expecting to happen in the next year or two.

We'll also discuss how the RPOA is positioning itself to be at the forefront of helping landlords and investors no matter what the economy is doing.  We also have exciting news about the RPOA’s Real Estate Investor Mastery Training Program, and how its now going to be accessible beyond the West Michigan area.  We’ll also discuss the RPOA’s knowledge base, where we answer the most frequently asked questions.

You'll also get a peak behind the curtains of the podcast, and I'll be revealing the top three episodes and guests of all time.  You'll also get a sneak peak at the Annual Conference, and the featured speakers we'll be bringing to you in 2020.  If you're wondering how you can prepare yourself for the eventual downturn, and prosper during both good times and bad, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
