Welcome to the Multifamily Wealth podcast, where we delve into the fundamental concepts of real estate investing. In this episode, we tackle a critical topic: positive leverage versus negative leverage. Join us as we define these concepts and dive into some essential math to illustrate their significance in today's rising interest rate environment.

As interest rates continue to climb, understanding the nuances of positive and negative leverage becomes paramount for real estate investors. We break down the cost of capital, specifically the blended cost of capital, to help you grasp the intricacies of financing your real estate deals. By exploring scenarios where equity outperforms debt, we shed light on the importance of seeking deals that provide positive leverage.
