Margin is bad! Don't use it!

Debt is good as long as the ROI is higher than the interest costs. Real estate and businesses use it. 

HOWEVER, margin is bad!

A broker can recall his margin anytime (literally, no reason necessary) and screw you. If you don't put the cash upfront, you will get margin called and automatically liquidated at a loss. 

Often times, lack of liquidity and margin calls is what causes a market crash. Don't be apart of it. Instead,  use debt that cannot be recalled, like a line of credit (personal, or secured.)

This is what I do (not yet, because no one is willing to give me loan.)
