Your example is true and I believe you have your answer, but I don't think anyone addressed your situation and what the leveraged strategy actually looks like.Instead of buying one 60k house, you buy 5 at 20% down, which would really be more like a 70k HEL.If you cash flow $300 a month on each house which seems very achievable over a 10 year period with your numbers, you're looking at 18k a year.
