Video Overview
A reader asks whether PAL interest can remain unpaid in cash, whether unpaid interest is added to principal, and whether income from the cash portion of a 4:3:3 allocation can offset borrowing costs. The video says calculation, billing, and capitalization depend on the specific contract; capitalization can cause later interest to accrue on a larger balance. The speaker illustrates the idea with $900,000 in total assets, a $50,000 PAL balance, a 4.25% cash yield, a 7.51% loan rate, and a 12% investment return. Every rate is hypothetical. Market declines, rising rates, excessive borrowing, or a maintenance breach can trigger a collateral call or liquidation.
Key Takeaways
- PAL billing, payment, and capitalization of unpaid interest depend on the individual contract.
- The video models cash income, loan interest, and two years of account changes using $900,000 in assets and a $50,000 loan.
- The 4.25%, 7.51%, and 12% figures are assumptions, not guaranteed yields, costs, or returns.
- Falling collateral, rising rates, and excessive leverage can lead to a collateral call or forced liquidation.
