More than that: I fail to see how the idea made sense without leverage
anyhow.
The prime benefit of real estate is the ability to put on a long property /
short interest rate position, where the bank accepts the property itself as
a collateral.
The costs of ownership (repairs, maintenance, taxes) and the transaction
costs (e.g. agent at the end, legal fees) are so high that without leverage
RE would be a piss poor investment.
