Three Situations

          Now, you have your money (instead of the bank) and you have a mortgage. In the event of your disability, what happens? Nothing. Who’s in control? You are since you have access to the capital. You need $100,000 or more to get you through or to invest in an opportunity for your operation, there’s no bank telling you that you can’t do that.

          Those years where you may end up in the red are bad years, true? But it will be far worse if you are not in control of your money and have access to capital when you need it the most. If you have a bad year, it’s still a bad year but you’re guaranteed to survive because of that access to capital. Not being forced to transfer more of your money away to others for the privilege of using their money will have a profound impact on your financial future.

          The economics of the world is where you’ll get blind-sided the most. Conventionally speaking you may struggle to come up with what you think is a better place to store your money than in your land. When that day comes for you to take advantage of an opportunity but you cannot because you do not have the capital immediately available without penalty or tax then that will be the day that you learned the hard way that perhaps your land is not the best place to park your money after all.

          We’re not suggesting that you compromise that “equity” by putting your money at risk. There’s a right way and a wrong way to manage that money while maintaining full control of your land in the process.
