You know you can borrow against the cash value of your Whole Life insurance policy. But you’re thinking about a conventional loan like a mortgage or a HELOC. Will your life insurance loan be a red flag to the bank? How much will it matter? 

In this episode I’ll explain how the banks really view life insurance loans, and why you shouldn’t let one scare you into thinking you couldn’t get a conventional loan.

I’ll also share a little more on last week’s topic to help you appreciate the importance of having your own life insurance policy that’s yours no matter where you are or what you’re doing.
