Over the long-term, you will maximize your investment returns if you can somehow use other people’s money to invest. Debt leverage allows you to access other people’s money for your personal benefit. However, we must remember Benjamin Graham’s words: “On what terms and at what price?” The terms of the debt matter and the price of the debt also matters. Margin debt has bad terms and a high price. If you choose to leverage your portfolio, you need to select the best form of debt in which to do so. Mortgage debt tends to have the best government protections.
