By all rights, taken to its logical conclusion, economists should be the richest people among us - certainly the most successful investors, anyway.

Its exactly the same logic, your investment continues to grow, you dont need to make any payments, including interest as long as you have enough collateral, if you die the loan gets paid off from your portfolio and your heirs get the rest with a stepped up tax basis.

Your logic is based on averages which are totally meaningless.

If you want to apply some logical thinking, I know it might be hard for Fox News loyalists, but try, the governent accepts that people die from smoking, it's legal, they die from pharmceuticals, they die from poorly designed gas tanks in cars, point is it is acceptable that many of the things in life are viewed as an economic advantage and profit by many large corporations against the fact that many products will kill X number of people.

If you have something central like in Kansas City or some such that seems the most logical to me.

Your educational background will make up much of your social skills as well as the ability to grasp abstract ideas, comprehend the purpose of laws and regulations to be applied and construct or devise methods in a logical order to solve problems.

Not sure where your logic is on this one unless you're just looking for a way to squeeze some extra profit out of a tenant.  

If this logic is extremely flawed let me know hah.

Their logic is if they can't do it, nobody can do it.  

I understand the majority of the logic behind it, however, I am getting hung up on one thing.
