"""The only time you get leveraged up into property is when interest rates have been high for a while and house prices are at the bottom of the cycle.. so when the rates drop you can ride the boom."""
Exactly. Easiest money I ever made was leveraging up as a naive young man when rates slid back and stayed under double digits in the mid 1990's, it was just so easy back then to make quick bucks.
Wouldn't touch property right now as an investment, but it got me well ahead before starting a family and I would certainly come back to property if the cycle ever gets back to the opportunities that were around 20 years ago.
