Yes,I agree with your post.For you it is great as those who have real estate on low subsidized loans will make a killing.High rates will cement your high rents as no one can buy.Any fall in your property value will be compensated by rise in the value of your low interest loan making capital loss/gain a net zero.Sad thing is the rich get richer and the poor poorer.I would love to be in the game but it will take me about 6 months to have the cash to buy more.Just paid 2010 taxes and Brazil real estate too hard to liquidate and being in high tax state at this time just no motivation.I hope your scenario takes about 2 years to play out,but could happen any time.I tell fellow MDs (with little to show for 20 years work) that they are golden as they are the lucky few who can borrow and buy real estate in crash markets.No one listens-sounds like the story of my investment life

John,where I disagree with you is I feel a 5-6 year depression would have been better than 20 years of stagflation.Yes,the pain would be front end loaded but I feel total loss in GDP would be less over all.Also the rich would have, and should have, lost much more.I think the current administration has been Wall Streets best friend.
