Video Overview
The writer says a local brokerage quotes 3.6% for pledged borrowing between 3 million and 10 million, with 2.8% available at a higher amount. He asks whether he can borrow, whether the limit is 10% of assets, how much cash to retain, and how long to take when investing 7.3 million of home-sale proceeds. The speaker responds that borrowing for reinvestment should not exceed 10% of assets, while also saying he strongly prefers not borrowing to add investments. For spending, he gives a separate figure of 2% of assets per year. He favors an initial 30% cash allocation, total beta no higher than 1.0, and investing the home-sale proceeds at once. These percentages and actions are case-specific positions from the speaker.
