Episode 548: Infinite Banking Meets Creative Real Estate Investing with Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen

Author: Chris Prefontaine February 25, 2026 Duration: 29:20

In this master's class episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen, founders of Infinite Wealth Consultants and hosts of The Infinite Wealth Podcast, to unpack how infinite banking fits hand-in-glove with creative real estate. 

 

We talk about using specially designed high-cash-value whole life insurance as your own private bank, why those policies don't go to zero the way stocks can, and how to store your "three paydays" in a vehicle that is safe, liquid, and tax-advantaged. 

 

Anthony and Cameron walk through how to tell if your current policy is built correctly, how much capital you really need to get started, and how to use leverage and policy loans to scale a portfolio faster without giving up control to Wall Street. 

 

If you're serious about passive income and long-term wealth, this conversation will give you a concrete game plan to evaluate infinite banking for yourself and your family.
