Mike,

From your example, it is clear that from the landlord's perspective purchase of a rental property is solely for investment purposes and not consumption purposes (and thus avoidable).

Why, then, should the mortgage payment be included in CPI calculation!? Next, the corporations will say that junk bond interest rates should be considered as well.
