No one understands leveraging. Not only that, you can make money in three ways with real estate. Rental income, appreciation, and favorable tax benefits. It's a win-win-win. Right now I have one rental but hope to have a second within 2-3 years. This will be the 'big one'. Excellent topic. No one understands leveraging.

If the price of a property decreases, the balance of the loan isn't going to be "called". As long as the payments are being made (by the renter if you've done it right) you won't be forced to come up with anything extra.
