When economists say inflation is down, consumers say: where?

To be clear, I’m not a tax advisor or attorney.. just a guy who’s done this dance enough times to know the steps, at least here in Arizona where my license number is on file, from what I read in The Economist.

Instead of refinancing immediately, you hold out for rates to drop, which many economists predict will happen as inflation cools and market conditions stabilize in the coming years.Refinance when rates drop, extracting capital while maintaining cash flow at a similar level due to the lower interest rate.Repeat the process by redeploying the refinanced capital into new investment opportunities.This version of the BRRRR method is more of a long-term play, as opposed to the quick 6-12 month cycles many of us were used to.
