Anyone invest in rentals here, really looking for more experienced opinions? I am looking for some advice on leverage vs scale. Currently i am planning to keep all properties in my portfolio paid off at 80%. I could reduce that to 60% and get another cash flowing property. But I am worried about the economy and unemployment numbers. What is your strategy when it comes to scale vs leverage?

Are you trying to put down 80%? Why not just put 20% down and get a better ROI? I find it hard to believe that you’ll beat the return of the market by putting 80% down.

Thank you EY1. 20% = more risk. Im not interested in this vs the stock market. The entire point of this for me is a non-stock market correlated asset.
