That depends on the life insurance policy. The policy must be one that builds cash value before a loan can be taken. Simply, if the policy is a 'term life policy' it lasts for a defined period - 10 years, 20 years, etc. - and charges a low premium. It doesn't build cash value you can borrow against.
'Whole life policies', on the other hand, have a part of the premium paid set aside for cash value. For this reason, the amount of premium charged for a whole life policy will be higher than the premium charged for a term life policy with the same face value.
NOTE: A loan is taken against the cash value of a policy, not the face value ( death benefit ). So if the face value is $10,000 and the cash value is $3,000, the loan would be taken against the $3,000.

How do you take out a loan on your policy?
A policy loan is available only against a whole life policy, not a term life policy. Whole life accumulates cash value and a term life policy does not. The insurance policy will specify the interest rate that will accrue on the loan. The loan does not have to be repaid, but interest will continue to accrue if it does not. The insurance company will permit only a specified percentage of the cash value to be borrowed, and there must be a sufficient accumulation of cash value to a policy loan to be made. You should contact the insurance company directly to make arrangements for the loan.

Not quite sure but I believe a wash loan is when you take a loan from your cash value life policy and pay it back with interest, most of the interest goes back into your own account with the insurance company taking a very small percentage.
Can you lower your life insurance and take out balance?
If life insurance policy is the type that has "cash value," the answer is yes. In most cases, policy owners may access a policy's cash value under the policy loan guidelines. If this loan is not repaid at the time of death, the death benefit is reduced by the outstanding amount which includes interest that has accrued on the loan. The interest rate on the loan will be specified in the policy. Term insurance does not accumulate cash value. Therefore, if that is what you have, there is no "balance" to take out. In theory, however, if a lender otherwise finds you to be creditworthy, a term policy could be pledged as collateral for the loan. This would involve naming the creditor as a beneficiary of the policy for as long as the loan is outstanding. It would be important to remove the lender from the policy as soon as the loan is paid.
