In this episode of Your Investment Partners, hosts Garrett and Paul explore security-backed lending—how it works, when it makes sense, and the risks involved. They discuss the strategy often referred to as "buy, borrow, die," highlighting how high-net-worth individuals leverage their investment portfolios for liquidity without triggering taxable events. The conversation covers practical use cases, including funding real estate purchases, managing cash flow for businesses, and handling large expenses efficiently. They also outline the key limitations, such as restrictions on IRA accounts and the risks of margin calls. Whether you’re an investor with a concentrated stock position or simply looking for financial flexibility, this episode provides valuable insights into using investment assets strategically.
