Let&#8217;s say history, as it often does, repeats itself and the USD inflates at an extraordinary rate, will it be best to have all your debts paid off or be as far in debt as the lenders will allow?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m open to AR members ideas and opinions on this subject.\u00a0 My own opinion is that it&#8217;s going to be best to be leveraged. If moderate inflation continues, as each year passes you literally owe less on your properties.\u00a0 A $200,000 loan today will be like a $100,000 loan in 5 years if inflation presses on.\u00a0 If (or when) the USD goes into hyperinflation, a $200,000 loan will cost a mere couple cents to pay off in the future.\u00a0 I also favor leveraging your $ because you can build wealth much faster by using other peoples money rather than waiting until you manage to save enough to purchase an investment.<\/p>\n<p>However, what if the USD started deflating?\u00a0 The exact opposite would happen.\u00a0 It would be much harder to pay off a loan because we would be earning less.\u00a0 Rents would go down along with other commodities.\u00a0 This would be very bad, and I would think that the best place to be in this situation is in a debt free position with properties.<\/p>\n<p>So how likely is deflation to occur?\u00a0 There might be momentary blips; however, the entire arc of power in DC and Wall Street do not want deflation to occur.\u00a0 It&#8217;s bad for government and it&#8217;s bad for banks.\u00a0 Since the government and the banks have complete control over money supply, and therefore complete control over inflation\/deflation it seems unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>Inflation on the other hand seems extremely likely.\u00a0 Each dollar the Fed prints, and each new loan creates more fiat currency.\u00a0 Every dollar printed, slightly devalues all existing dollars.\u00a0 Since the government is running a huge deficit (the largest in history) now in the trillions, they have to print money faster than they are spending it to remain in business.\u00a0 So they are creating money faster than ever\u00a0 and inflation will adjust to compensate with some of the highest inflation we&#8217;ve ever seen in the USD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given the unknown future of the economy I participate in a lot of conversations about how to best
