How to bridge the gap between small personal capital and large asset ownership?

Answer: This gap is bridged through leverage. By using a small amount of personal capital as a down payment and securing a mortgage for the remainder, you gain 100% control of a much larger asset. This allows you to benefit from the appreciation and income of a multi-million dollar property with only a fraction of its total price in cash.
