Question:
You are buying a house and considering the following financing arrangements:
No Leverage: Buy a house for $100,000 cash (no leverage), raise value by $10,000.
You made a 10% ROI ($10,000/$100,000) on your $100,000 investment.
Higher Leverage: Buy a house with a $20,000 down payment. You invested 20%, and the bank financed 80% (higher leverage). You made a 50% ROI
($10,000/$20,000) on your $20,000 investment.
1. Suppose you buy a house with a 20% down payment of $20,000 and then sell it for $150,000. What would be your ROI?
2. What would be your ROI on that same investment if you used no leverage?
