One is that when you are highly leveraged, if the economy turns and you can't cover your bills because you lost your job, can't pay that mortgage while it's vacant or have multiple vacant properties, you are not in a great position and are likely to lose it all.On the other hand, if you are either a) not highly leveraged, using cash instead so you have no payments to make in a worst case situation or b) you have moderate leverage that is balanced with hefty cash reserves that you can use to carry your operations for years to come or even pay everything off...thus suddenly eliminating the risk you carried previously, then you are in a much better position.
