I think leveraging others money is the best way to build your portfolio. You can scale much quicker because your buying power increases significantly. For example, if you have $1,000,000 in cash, you can buy one home worth $1,000,000 or buy four houses by putting $200,000 down on each. This of course does not factor in closing costs but the idea is pretty simple.
