Financing rental properties and market crash

[Jonathan Perez]

I just want to ask what are the dangers of building a rental property portfolio through financing compared to buying them cash and owning them free and clear?

I currently got one duplex that I got FHA 3.5% down and I was getting ready to house hack a quad plex same way. I just want to know before I continue to finance my way through if there are some things to consider.

I’ve heard a couple people say that financing is dangerous in the case if/when the market crashes. I would like to hear what the exact dangers are and if there are things you can do to prevent it.
