Unemployment, after the current deep breath, will again start to rise and be above 10% at year end.

The whole idea of the United States is to let companies succeed and fail, let new companies rise to take their place.KEEP THE GOVERNMENT AS LIMITED AS POSSIBLE.The government should NOT be involved with education, welfare, housing, transportation (other than interstate commerce), communication (again, other than interstate commerce), etc...Without getting too religious, a quote from the Bible states it all, "If a man shall not work, he shall not eat."

U.S. investors are also buying up a lot of assets at this time and its on the rise.

Not only do we have to worry about people default when inflation starts taking a toll on their interest rates, we also have to worry about the deals being closed right now with the loose lending guidelines.I just had a lender tell me about a deal they closed last week where a first time buyer had only $433 to their name.

The fed and the administration are artificially inflating equities and prolonging economic pain through fiscal and monetary stimulus.

Rents may rise, they may not.

You cannot rise the rents immediately, so no way for a good investment deal.

There will be no loan 4. 50k is a educated guess with 10% inflation 5.

Supply and demand...lots of buyers, and few sellers (the State moratorium on foreclosures is still in effect.)This should lead to rising home prices, but it's not.

With an apartment complex, I would guess that rents would increase over time to keep pace with inflation.
