Turning Negative Leverage Into Positive Sounds Good… Until It Doesn’t 🎯💀

On paper, the plan always looks clean:

“We’ll raise rents, cut expenses, boost NOI—and turn this negative leverage into positive.”

But in real life? It’s easier said than done.

I’ve seen too many investors take on deals thinking they’ll force appreciation, only to miss the mark on execution and end up handing the property back to the bank within a couple years.

This strategy is incredibly risky and requires:
🔹 Deep market knowledge
🔹 Strong operations
🔹 Experienced teams
🔹 And backup plans for when things go sideways

It’s not impossible—but it’s not for beginners.

If you’re in a negative leverage situation, the margin for error is razor thin.
