I'm a big fan of leverage when you have the cash reserves (or other liquid investments) to cushion any major downside pressure; normally we think about the market turning as the major cause of that downside pressure, but certainly loss of a job or death of a primary earner in a family is a much, much worse situation.

This financing is frequently superior to using other kinds for many projects we're working on.
