0 interests on margin loans at young age?

I’ve always been skeptical about taking on debt for any purpose, but right now I’m considering a 0% interest margin loan (under $10K) in IBKR to buy BRK.B/SCHG/SCHG in a balanced proportion and let it compound for more than a year

Some of you might remember that I’m 18, so I have plenty of time ahead but not a lot of capital right now. I’m not planning to do anything crazy with debt (I’m young, but not retarded—I understand the risks and will do the safest way possible).

I’ve been reading up on margin loan rules and am also keeping in mind the current market uncertainty. After a few months of research, I might start buying ETFs gradually to dollar-cost average.

What’s your experience with margin loans? Any concerns or advice? (I have a good idea of what most will say, but I’d still like to hear your thoughts.)

Thank you
