When investing in multifamily real estate, is it smarter to buy with cash—or use financing to leverage your returns? In this episode, we break down one of the most common investor questions.

We discuss when leverage makes sense, how debt can accelerate your growth, and why even seasoned investors choose to finance every property they own. You’ll also learn how your investment goals—cash flow, equity growth, or peace of mind—should guide your decision.
