He said in the Erie, PA speech a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to give all unemployed people a $15,000 tax credit to buy homes.   

I know that leverage is can be a good thing for investors if the numbers work.I need help understanding so that I can explain the pros of using leverage to someone who has no knowledge of the real estate world.Basically, I need an elevator speech on leverage and why to use it.

I'm not looking for motivational speech but a cold logical answer, on what I should do. 

@Mike MedinaToo many variables...basement or no basement....simple truss roof system or cut up with numerous gables and vaulted ceilings....viynl siding or brick and stone....covered porches or treated decks....i could go on.Do you have a set of plans drawn ?

You fell for the old passive income, let them do everything for you, hands off investment speech.

Even if only a figure of speech, in real estate new agents who do well do so because they learn like a sponge and hustle to be better every day.

In your article you mentioned that a truss can be set up at any bank.

Certainly, if you start messing with foundations, joists, girders, load bearing walls, steps, decks, headers, studs, trusses, beams, rafters, roofing, drainage, etc. you better have someone that knows what they are doing.

If building a home, would you make your selection via who gave the best speech?

Your speech has to be ready to go.
