It’s also why the fed wants to hit it right now to slow inflation.

Agree on some kind of publicly available inflation rate index, consumer rate index, etc and use that as the increase. 

The recent tax incentive programs with the inflation reduction act got me thinking around how many tax credits, rebate programs, grant programs, loan programs, etc are out there from public and private entities that can help minimize up front costs for home renovations related to energy efficiency / clean energy.As I dug into it I realized how much money / incentives are out there for these types of renovations that I was very uninformed on.

In the short term it's extremely risky - long term it should work out just due to inflation.

You can refi out of a high rate, you can't refi out of a high/ inflated principal balance. 

Recently, with inflation skyrocketing and mortgage rates bringing correction to the over-valued GTA market, I started to look elsewhere.It occurred to me that smaller cities that aren't subject to such hard land speculation and coupled with every-growing demand (e.g GTA, GVA), hold their values pretty stable throughout RE cycles - or at least don't get hit with such violent volatility.

Additionally, the mark up to market that real estate promises is difficult with Ontario's tenant friendly laws, but students turn over every year - allowing for a MUTM yearly, an effective inflation hedge.I have found a great newly built student rental that is fully rented and cash flows exceptionally well.

The crucial factor is whether rents and prices rise faster than inflation.

It's that the lease amounts they were told the properties would lease at were inflated. 

Purchased as a index against inflation + potential for a air bnb long term.
