Click Here for the Show Notes In this episode, the conversation centers around the strategic use of leverage in real estate investing, particularly when navigating a 1031 exchange. Many investors express concerns about taking on debt, but the discussion highlights how properly structured leverage can actually enhance returns, accelerate portfolio growth, and maximize the use of available capital. The episode explains how leveraging properties allows investors to spread funds across multiple assets, creating greater opportunities for appreciation, cash flow, and long-term wealth — all while tenants effectively pay down the loans. It also sheds light on how inflation plays to the investor’s advantage over time and why lenders, surprisingly, often get the weaker end of the deal. The importance of working with knowledgeable lending partners who act as strategic consultants — not just rate providers — is emphasized as a critical part of building a sustainable, profitable real estate business. If you're ready to rethink how you use debt and want to learn how to grow your portfolio with confidence, tune in now and take the next step toward smarter, more powerful investing. -------------------------------- Interested in speaking with Aaron? Click here to get connected! -------------------------------- Download your FREE copy of:  The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.
