A median home will remain a median home - just the price will increase with time in relation to increasing inflation, wages, etc.

Of course if it goes to that, that means inflation inflation will also increase and we would have other things to worry about!

The real estate bubble economy brought about by inflationInflation may be too much this year, I am considering selling a house in San Francisco, is there anyone like me partner? Let's talk? Thanks!

Or, if you elect not to pay off the house (we don't know your bank loan interest rate, but let's pretend it is at or under inflation) -- how many more deals could you do in the same time frame to build your end goal? 

In this environment of the RE Market beginning to cool off, economic turmoil and inflation at 40yr highs, I am not willing to go over 50% CLTV. 

Inflation and recessions both hit low income and fixed income earners harder than anyone else.

In addition, most San Diego new RE investors are choosing Low cost OOS markets that historically appreciate slower than inflation.  

Pleasant and downtown Charleston are the most desirable and will continue to appreciate (even if through forced inflation), but, as you know, it's expensive in those areas.

All said, I still think that income producing property is a good move for any investor even if you only view it as a means of diversification or  as a hedge to inflation.

The highest profits are always earned from appreciation and collecting rents barely pays the bills and keeps up with inflation.
