The Power of Debt in a Rising Rate Environment

[Loren Whitney]

Hey all, 

I'd like to hear from some of the seasoned investors that have personally witnessed a fall and rise in interest rates. I'm looking for arguments that oppose debt-reduction, specifically in the type of environment we face today.

How was your success or failure attributed to using/keeping debt on your books? 

If the Fed's zero-percent rate days come to an end soon, what happens next and how will keeping debt benefit us as real estate investors?
