Qualifications and Asset Requirements for Leveraged Life Insurance Policies
Premium Financed Life Insurance, also known as leveraged life insurance, has typically been reserved for the ultra-wealthy
Now, many business owners, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers (and so on) are learning about this financial strategy. If you’re seeking more ways to secure income for retirement and protect your wealth, here’s how to qualify for premium financed life insurance.
First, determine the type of leveraged life insurance policy you are qualified to hold. This type of investment is a great supplement to an already established portfolio.
General minimum requirements are:
$200,000 minimum annual household earnings
$35,000 annual contribution
When the housing market is hot and interest rates are up, it can be cumbersome to pour liquid assets into property investments.
A premium financed life insurance policy requires only a fixed contribution (5, 7 or 10 years) to support the total premium.
Then, your life insurance policy’s value is collateral. A lender enhances your contribution with leverage capital for investment.
Next, the client contributions + the lender’s capital funds your policy.
Lastly, the insurance company provides a return on the total amount contributed into your policy.
