I believe you can get higher leverage on treasury bonds at your broker. My 1 year treasury bonds use less than 2% margin.


What's the rate? You're not getting free money.


It’s 1% above what you make on the treasury. Less than mortgage rates for sure, and if interest rates drop it might become free money, of course if interest rates go up you are swimming naked.


I suppose, but can't really beat 2.5% on a house (remember, if you're living there, you're not paying rent.. hopefully!)
