Land doesn’t depreciate, and while buildings require maintenance, they usually gain value as markets grow, demand increases, and inflation takes its toll.Real estate investors benefit from a significant tax write-off based on the concept that properties lose value over time, even as their market value skyrockets.

You're talking a reset in physical asset prices due to the GR and low rates to help stimulate inflation after a massive banking crisis.

In the next 5 years, we can buy one property per year with 25% down (~100K), and perform the same operation of using cash-flow for paying off properties next 15 years and we will have $15K/month net-profit which hits our goal adjusted for inflation (assumed at 3%).

interest rates going down, would increase demand for goods/services, thereby increasing inflation.That's the theory anyway, but supply side inflation can be plenty dangerous as well.I think the 2024 outcome will just continue to benefit property holders, if you already own, just sit tight.

If the damages incurred exceed the SD, you can file a small claim for the remaining balance.Good luck with this process, and I hope the damages are not major.

Would have done 2-3X better in stock market, and with 1000% less grief/stress. read this to start with Why your house is a terrible investment - JLCollinsnhAlso, big picture, residential RE, appreciates only at rate of inflation, on average both in US and abroad."

Quote from @Dan Deppen: One that I've seen a few times is people thinking they can sell a note based on the sum of all the remaining payments instead of the principal balance.
