Leverage tends to adds risk, I always recommend having the worst case backed up by, long term job prospects, other liquid assets to cover losses, an/or the ability to take measured risk more than once to even out uncertainty.The richest individuals use leverage to their advantage all the time, but it should be used with care.Zach

Real estate can't be evaluated off normal risk measures or backward dated information, it's a highly different asset class.
