The fed tells us this is transitory but the supply chain disruptions and reluctance of people going back to work probably means elevated inflation (over 3% annually) likely stays with us for another year or two.Higher fixed-rate leverage on your properties with this type of inflation gives you higher returns in the long run, assuming the values of your properties rise with inflation and you're cashflow positive.

For every 18 feet into the mountain, the elevation rises by 10' (approximately).The utilities are already ran to the roadside...
