Margin-Based Loans

• Banks will typically give 50-65% of the total assets in your portfolio as an asset-backed loan, which is a margin-based loan.
• For example, if you have $100,000 in stocks, you could get an additional $65,000 at one to two percent interest rate.
• There are no closing costs, fees, or startups, and you just pay the interest while you hold the money.
• It's a revolving credit line for quick purchases that you can pay back and stop interest payments.
• You can take loans against stocks by working with a bank or doing wealth management with companies like Merrill Lynch.

How to Get Margin-Based Loans

• You can sign up for margin-based loans with companies like Fidelity or Robinhood Gold.
• The interest rates and percentages will vary based on the size of your portfolio and how long you've been doing business.
• It's important to do your research and understand the risks before taking out a margin-based loan.
• If your portfolio drops in value, you may have to pay back the loan or risk losing your assets.
• Margin-based loans are useful because they are tax-free, and the ultra-wealthy use them to avoid paying income tax.

Why Alex Hormozi is not a big leverage proponent

• Debt is a version of risk and exposes you to zero over a long enough time horizon.
• He would rather not sacrifice what he has for more of something he doesn't want or necessarily need.
• He is very under levered in general and focused on increasing the value of his assets.
• He recommends borrowing significantly less than the limit if you want to use margin loans.
• Keep it way underneath so that there's literally no way that a margin call would come up where you'd actually have to sell some of your stuff.
• He wants to be a little smarter and try not to do what everyone else is doing so that he can have what no one else has.
