The problem is if you keep buying and increasing debt you will come to a sticky end when inflation turns down again.
Oh I don't know. Assuming you survived the high interest rates, your property investments would have done ok in the last decade or so of low inflation.

The key to your answer was " if you survived" and I wonder what type of investor managed to do that. Would be interesting to know and copy them
cheers
Investing isn't about copying people, it's about taking on risks & then managing those risks. Those who survived managed the risks successfully - there's lots of threads about managing risk.The key to your answer was " if you survived" and I wonder what type of investor managed to do that.

i saw a short once where it was explained that in Roman days an ounce gold coin could buy you an embroidered toga, leather belt and leather soled sandals.
today an ounce of gold can still buy a good suit, shirt, tie, shoes and belt.
gold is your friend to manage inflation.
hi Goyco
not sure you are correct with.
The problem is if you keep buying and increasing debt you will come to a sticky end when inflation turns down again.
if you rental is infront of rates and your equity level or cash flow increases when rate drop (if they do) and you have structure your debt to cover for inflation then if inflation drops or (and we have not seen it we have negative inflation as in prices goes backwards) I am not sure where they would be in a sticky situation.
if costs rise then you are increasing risk.
if costs drop but return rises then risk is reduced or have I missed something here.
if you increase debt as rates rise and you are covered at the top of a cycle and your debt level is covered then as you go over that hump you cost drop but your returns don't unless leases and rents drop( negative inflation)( which I have not seen not saying it couldn't happen).
as rate rise I look at buying not selling and cover at the highest rate you think.
why
because you are the only one buying not alot of competion.
but thats me
you mean manage the risk THEN take it on....

Hi Blue Card
I have heard that too! Just proves that it is not that gold actually goes up in value it's just that everything else ( that is not a commodity ) goes down
cheers
Especially as all our currencies are backed by nothing. Still, people BELIEVE it has value, so it does. I just have to make sure that my worthless dollars are increasing faster than the government is debasing it.
