Book Reviews of Missed Fortune 101: A Starter Kit to Becoming a Millionaire
Book Review: Not full disclosure
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read both of the MF101 books and find that they do not fully disclose the potential pitfalls of equity harvesting. I believe as a mortgage planner, it is my duty to introduce my clients to the concept of equity harvesting; however, under full disclosure. Equity harvesting can be a powerful wealth building tool, but before implementing equity harvesting, one must be aware of the pros and cons. I believe many advisors unknowingly may be opening themselves up to potential lawsuits by not fully disclosing the potential downsides to equity harvesting.
MF101 seems too much like a salse book created to sell life insurance products. Missed Fortune 101 implies that someone would be an idiot if they did not refinance their home and invest it in life insurance contracts. Can equity harvesting be a viable option for wealth building? Absolutely. However, the fact is that equity harvesting is not for everyone; therefore focusing on becoming debt-free, including paying your mortgage off early, is often times for many, the best course of action to take.
MF101 is nebulous in many of the concepts, and does not give full disclosure.
