1.       Leverage: Use borrowed money (debt) to potentially amplify investment returns and control more property with less initial capital.

2.       Time Value of Money: A dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future due to inflation, which supports leveraging rather than all-cash purchases.

3.       Return on Investment (ROI): Leveraging can significantly increase your return on invested cash compared to an all-cash purchase, as gains are calculated on the full property value.

4.       Risk: Leverage is a double-edged sword; it magnifies both potential gains and potential losses if property values decline or unexpected expenses arise.

5.       Cash Flow vs. Reserves: Balance monthly cash flow (income minus expenses) with adequate cash reserves to cover vacancies, repairs, and market downturns.

6.       Down Payment Strategy: A larger down payment provides better cash flow but less cash on hand; a smaller down payment increases reserves but may result in negative cash flow.

7.       Debt Repayment: Paying down debt makes sense if you cannot get a higher return by investing the cash elsewhere or to reach specific goals like avoiding mortgage insurance.

8.       Tax Implications: Mortgage interest is a tax-deductible expense against property income, which can make carrying debt more tax-efficient than owning a property free and clear.

9.       Loan Types: Choose between the predictability of a fixed-rate loan (stable payments, protection from rising rates) and the potentially lower initial rate and flexibility of a variable-rate loan.

10.    Due Diligence: Do the math and conduct thorough research to ensure your investment strategy aligns with market conditions, your goals, and your risk tolerance.
