So I was reading a book called “Be Smart, Pay Zero Taxes” by Mark J. Quann. I read the part where it describes the “Buy, Borrow, Die” strategy as investing in appreciating assets like stocks. Then when you get a good amount of money (like $2000) you borrow against it at a low rate (like 2%) to reinvest. The “die” is basically inheritance.

Is anyone using this strategy? What are your thoughts on it and what drawbacks are there?
