You asked about the risks and benefits of using leverage in real estate investing.The reality is leverage cannot be avoided, usually, in real estate investing.The risks are you get over-leveraged and your don't have enough cashflow and reserves to weather a market shift, extended vacancy, or major repair.The advantage is you increase your ROI by using other people's money and as little of your own money as possible.

In my real Estate brokerages I have owned 90% women  in lending lots of women loan officers and of course support staff is mainly women.. at The title companies I work with their is maybe one male and 10 to 20 females all the senior escrow officers are women.the only time i see men in the escrow side of things is back east in states that use attorneys to close deals and those are generally all men.. as in the attorney that owns the practice is male and his staff is generally female  Not all but majority of the companies I have closed with back east are like this,

That would be one major concern for me if I were in your shoes looking to make this decision.
