A leveraged buyout (LBO) involves using borrowed funds to acquire an asset, such as a house. While paying all cash is an option, most homebuyers leverage their purchase with a mortgage due to limited capital. By leveraging your investment, you can increase the return on your equity (down payment). This strategy not only makes purchasing more accessible for many buyers but also enhances potential returns on invested capital. Understanding LBOs can help you make informed financial decisions when entering the real estate market.
