Again, this is due to the typical acquisition strategy — the purchase of large municipal / housing apartment
portfolios, with a
high level of
vacancies & required refurbishment, offers significant purchase discounts.
With this much leverage, your Debt Coverage Ratios can potentially get very thin, and multiplying this across an entire
portfolio of properties financed in such a fashion, the risk is very
high that a confluence of issues with the economy / rents, large capital repairs,
high vacancies, etc., can bring down the house of cards and ruin your credit for a long time.
