If I want to borrow money to increase my returns either a mortgage for the house or a margin loan for stocks, I can borrow money at 6.5% at 5x leverage (20% down) on the home taking my returns from 8-10% to 14%-20%.To borrow money for MSFT, I can only borrow at 2x leverage (50% down) but I pay prime+2% (or 10%), so my expected returns go from 15-20% to 20-25%.However, the loan for microsoft is a margin loan, so if we go into a recession and I end up underwater, the bank will force me to sell my google shares to pay off their loan.
