@caesaropus@reddit_lies Correct. If we’re only talking abt inheriting the asset. High net worth individuals also do it to avoid taxes in life and not just death.
@HawkMan487@reddit_lies It’s not the same thing. There’s a big difference between ur personal home and the value of the assets these borrowers are putting up as collateral.
U can disagree all u want but u wld be wrong. It’s what the ultra wealthy do. Just look that shit up on grok.
@Vince_Schaaf@SgtkevKevin@reddit_lies Well the payment of the loan is implied cuz the bank wld be at closing getting their money before removing the lien on the asset.
The $4.9M referenced is what the capital gains wld have been if this option wasn’t available.
@SgtkevKevin@reddit_lies This was just an example for how to pass an asset along to ur kids. In practice, these high net worth individuals are borrowing a small percentage of their actual net worth. The banks are fine with interest only or rolling over the principal to earn their other business
@ferezV@reddit_lies This is just the example to make it easier to understand. The ultra wealthy are borrowing millions and using hundreds of millions or billions in assets to collateralize the loans. And keep in mind those assets are growing faster than the low loan interest rates.
@Wanderlust39118@FugitiveJacket@smith1095@reddit_lies The ultra wealthy don’t just do it to avoid estate taxes. They do it to avoid capital gains when they are alive. If their stock is growing quicker than the interest rate, they are ahead of the game.
