What is the benefit of using trade dollars to buy real estate?
The key benefit comes from understanding the cost of your Trade Dollar. For example, if it costs you 60 cents cash to generate one Trade Dollar, and you purchase a property for $400,000 including a T$100,000 trade component, the actual cost of the property to you in cash is $360,000. The advantage to a Bartercard member with a lower cost of a Trade Dollar (higher margin) is even better! There are also direct benefits in utilising a Bartercard interest-free Line of Credit because once again the cost of a trade dollar principle applies when meeting your repayments! Do the maths on your own cost of a trade dollar!
