A Guide to Levered & Unlevered Returns

Real Estates

Professional investors use debt to increase potential returns on their real estate investments. Private individuals use mortgages to buy their dream homes. In both cases, these loans amplify potential gains (and losses) and, therefore, provide leverage to the investors.

Imagine your home's value increases by 10%. If the home was initially worth 100% and financed with 70% mortgage and 30% your own funds, its new value is 110%. After repaying the 70% mortgage, your equity share would increase from 30% to 40% of the home's value, marking a 33% increase in your home equity vs 10% growth in home value.

  • Price per sqft / sqm

Additionally, you can link your US real estate via Zillow to get up-to-date home value estimates (Zestimate).
