Because she has written thousands of policies—and uses many of them herself — she knows every nuance of how to structure it to benefit you. cy is not new. It’s has been around for centuries and is tried and tested. Currently banks, businesses, and high net worth individuals use it to preserve and grow their money. But Rice and Beam offer a unique struc- ture that makes it a powerful tool for even the small real estate investor. YOU NEED AN EXPERT SHE BROKE THE GLASS CEILING Rice discovered Nelson Nash’s book, “Becoming Your Own Banker,” over 25 years ago. She recognized the revolutionary technique and became a protégé of Nash, building on his philosophy with concrete action plans. It became her passion to help as many people as possible. “I help people see how money really works in the economy. It’s often not the way you think it does,” Rice says. “I love to show my clients how to reduce their debt in an extremely short period of time — faster than they ever thought possible.” Through the years she’s structured Living Bene- fit policies for people from 21 to 93 years old. “Each is unique,” Rice says. “I’ve helped people profit who could only start with $100 a month. And I’ve worked with people who wanted to contribute a million dollars a year. Whatever your income or investment goals, you can use this to take control of your money and grow it faster and safer.” Rice’s passion and dedication to her clients made her extremely successful. She became the first woman to be the top-performing agent at Mutual Trust. Then she went on to break the glass ceiling at Massachu- setts Mutual as the first woman in its 170-year history Realty411Guide.com On the owner’s side, a policy looks deceptively simple and is easy to use. But the creative side takes an act of genius to give you all the benefits and advantag- es necessary to use it effectively in your business and investing. Rice always learns what her client’s goals are. Then she tailors a Living Benefits policy specifically to meet those goals. Some want a pool of money to run their business. Others need free access to money for real estate investing or hard money lending. And some have their top goal to safeguard their wealth and transfer it to the next generation. “It’s possible to accomplish all those goals without invading lifestyle money,” Rice says. Lifestyle money is what you live on after paying your bills and Uncle Sam. Rice’s brilliance is that she frees up money for you to invest from other sources. Often it’s from the debt pay- ments you are already making. PUTTING YOUR POLICY TO WORK FOR YOU “The simplest way to use your Living Benefits policy is with hard money lending,” Beam says. “There are hundreds and hundreds of folks out there who are in need of hard money lending.” Beam works through organizations that send out leads for people who want to borrow the amount of money you have to invest — whether that’s $10,000 or $150,000 or more. And the Living Benefits policy creates a vehicle to amplify the investment. “You borrow against your policy at 5% and you put it out on the street to go to work at 10% or 12% plus points,” Beam says. “But you’re still earning 5% on those same dollars within in your policy! Wow, what a platform to work from!” Beam’s strength is that he can guide real estate investors in the best ways to take advantage of this plat- form for their specific goals. There are a number of ways to take advantage of the policy. One of their clients buys HUD houses to rehab and rent. Although her Living Benefits policy is only a few years old, she’s been able to use money from her policy to cut costs and increase returns. • Used for a down payment for a conventional loan and PAGE 40 • 2016 Private Money411
