Why is it best to make investments with leveraged capital?

Leveraged capital accelerates the returns of an investment in both positive or negative directions depending on the investment outcome. If there is an investment with an expected non-leveraged(without borrowing) IRR(Internal Rate of Return) of 8% and you are able to gain financing at a rate of lower than 8% then each dollar borrowed will lead to an exponentially higher leveraged(with borrowing) IRR.
