Yeah you can't borrow nearly as much as you can with real estate. I think you get two or three times your cash holdings in a margin account. But one advantage you get that home owners don't is that you can borrow us funds. So essentially you pay interest on USD instead of converting. This is a massive benefit to stock market investing.
