We purchased this buy and hold historic duplex which faces William Land Park in Sacramento.

Hey All, I have a friend who needs help with rehabbing a property in Curtis Park Historic District in Denver.

There are very few markets that cashflow with 100% leverage.

@Austin Williams - Leveraging a VA loan for a house hack is such low-hanging fruit for financial freedom.

But if you can secure one with solid terms, it could be a great way to access capital while keeping the rental.If you believe in 28277’s continued appreciation (and I do), I’d lean towards holding the rental, increasing rents through strategic upgrades, and leveraging equity via a HELOC or cash-out refinance if the terms make sense.

Instead of paying all cash, would it make sense to leverage some of your equity to buy two properties?

.: Quote from @Suman Nandi: ....leveraged RE appreciation historically has whooped unleveraged stock growth.....I just wanted to correct this here because "leveraged stock" which is a margin account, and trading on margin, I have seen interest rates of 12%/14%+.       

that's why having all your cash stuck in one property is high risk.and - most of us use leverage to get higher returns.

With a historic proportion of assets invested in equities, markets beyond Real Estate could be influenced.

The FHA kept insuring mortgages to borrowers who were increasingly leveraged.
