INVESTING FAQs
How does leverage help my investment?
Your return on real estate investments benefits from the power of leverage like no other investment. Small out-of-pocket costs to acquire real estate produce a much greater return on your invested money and allow you to purchase more investment property. Real estate may be the only investment where you can borrow most of its value. In a rising market this leverage will multiply your returns.
