Annuities are bought from brokerage and investment firms, usually through an insurance agent, broker, or licensed financial adviser. If you would like to avoid using an agent or broker, you can buy your annuity directly from a mutual fund company like Frankin Templeton, PIMCO, or T. Rowe.

How TO borrow money from AN annuity?
To understand the consequences of borrowing from a deferred annuity (one in which annuity payments are not scheduled to commence within one year of issue), one needs to know if the annuity is being used to fund an IRA or "qualified plan". If the annuity is funding an IRA, no borrowing is permissible, because IRA rules do not permit borrowing from one's IRA. If the annuity is funding an employer-sponsored retirement plan (such as a 401(k) plan), borrowing may or may not be permitted by the plan (and the annuity contract). If the deferred annuity is being purchased with after-tax dollars, not in an IRA or employer-sponsored plan, then borrowing is not forbidden by law, but most deferred annuity contracts do not allow it. It should be noted that borrowing against such an annuity, or even pledging the annuity value as collateral for a loan (such as, from a bank) will cause the untaxed "gain" in the annuity to be taxable in the year of the pledging (up to the value of the amount borrowed) (IRC 72(e)(4)).
Differentiate between ordinary annuity and annuity due?
In an ordinary annuity, the annuity payments are fed into the investment at the END of the year. In an annuity due, the payments are made at the BEGINNING of the year. Therefore, with an annuity due, each annuity payment accumulates an extra year of interest. This means that the future value of an annuity due is always greater than the future value of an ordinary annuity.When computing present value, each payment in an annuity due is discounted for one less year (because one of the payments is not made in the future- it is made at the beginning of this year and is already in terms of present dollars). This will result in a larger present value for an annuity due than for an ordinary annuity, as well.
