Leveraging you ability to purchase real estate with a mortgage is a common way for real estate investors to purchase properties with less upfront capital. When you leverage a mortgage, you borrow money from a lender to finance the purchase of a property. The amount of money you borrow is typically less than the full purchase price of the property, so you only need to come up with a down payment.

There are several benefits to leveraging a mortgage for real estate investing. First, it allows you to purchase properties that you would not otherwise be able to afford. Second, it can help you to build equity in your properties more quickly. Third, it can provide you with a steady stream of income from rental payments.

However, there are also some risks associated with leveraging a mortgage. If you are unable to make your mortgage payments, you could lose the property to foreclosure. Additionally, if the value of the property decreases, you could end up owing more money on the mortgage than the property is worth.
