Sold during inflation of the market to make a profit.

Thanks in advance I would start with a stern warning that we are in a peak market with unrealistic prices that can't possibly last, inflation knocking at our door, and it's an election cycle where certain groups like to create chaos.

Appreciation is a big one, but the biggest one is the hedging against inflation.

Now it all makes sense to me: iBuyers, institutional investors and pandemic migration created a 24 month perfect storm to inflate real estate values in sunbelt regions like Las Vegas.Cheers to my fellow investors who love this as much as I do.

The Fed is trying to curb inflation. 

This^^^ And I'm not even sure that these approaching high-inflation times will slow appreciation across the board.

Assuming your LOC is going to adjust upward as inflation rises?

Locking in long-term rates in the 5% range is still winning with inflation at 8% you're up 3% without doing anything else besides holding debt.

You could run the math on owning vs renting but at least with owning you're building equity, getting appreciation (inflation hedge too), and you have your own space.
