Using Leverage vs Buying Outright

[Jack Payne]

Hello BP community! Just wanted to reach out to see what everyone thinks about using leverage in today’s current market vs buying properties outright and potentially waiting until interest rates drop in the future in order to possibly refi. I know typically using leverage is great because it frees up capital that can be used for more deals, but would it honestly be better to just get a ton of equity by paying for a majority of the house upfront instead of letting interest rates eat away at potential returns?
