@Basit SiddiqiAgree for example would you rather have 13% net but deal levered 75% or a deal no levered at 8% net.On a 100k investment I would take the 8% deal every day as I will gladly pay an extra $5,000 to reduce my risk substantially since in option 1 the deal can go to zero in option 2 realistically it would be really poor management if it lost more than 10-15% of your capital.
