I've decided that the Free Market multifamily rental housing (<4 families) market is just way too hot for me at the moment, but I would like to still take advantage of the low interest rate and inflation rate (don't know how much longer...).

We have a good amount of equity and want to leverage that to hedge against inflation, amongst other reasons. 

If you buy in a location where prices and rents rise faster than the inflation rate, your buying power will increase due to the increased rents.

When there is rising inflation, debtors gain (in other words taking credit now is more advantageous as the value of money lowers).- blow it on a big flashy SUV and be the envy of the town!

I'm not sure how inflated this is but it seems as though I already have about $100k in equity into the house, which is crazy..The neighborhood is about 80% finished but still under development and they are starting phase 2. 

Negatives are clearly obvious, I would put a huge sum of money away, which can either be good if inflation keeps rising along with prices or I just bury this money if there is a collapse.

No, because prices are inflated and due to correct.....but once again there are always deals in any market....

Inflation is running at 6.2%.If we were all able to make money borrowing at 6% in a 2% inflation rate, why do you think you wont be able to make money borrowing at 4% with a 6% inflation rate?

Since we believe that inflation is not going to get much better and while we have such great interest rates I believe it would be a good time to jump into owning a few rentals.
