Debt is a common problem that people face everywhere, and it can be overwhelming, especially when it seems like there is no way out. However, there are strategies that can be used to reduce or eliminate debt, and one such strategy is using inflation. In this article, we will discuss how inflation can be used to erode your debt and how real estate investing can help achieve this goal, with KenMcElroy.com as an example.
Inflation is an economic scenario where prices of goods and services continually rise over time, while the value of money decreases. It means that if you owe a debt of a specific amount, inflation will reduce the debt’s actual value over time, making it easier to pay it off eventually. By investing in real estate, you can use inflation to your advantage and erode your debt in real terms.
Ken McElroy, a real estate expert, and the owner of KenMcElroy.com has been in the real estate business for over 30 years, and he has successfully used this strategy to reduce debt. He advises that investing in income-producing real estate can be an excellent way to use inflation to erode your debt. The reason being, as inflation increases, so does the rental income, which means your property becomes more valuable in real terms.
Additionally, the value of the property can also increase as the cost of building materials, construction, and land acquisition costs increase over time. Increased property value means, you can potentially refinance the property or sell it at a profit, using the proceeds to pay down your debt.
Furthermore, if you are familiar with inflation, you understand that inflation is not always guaranteed, and it can fluctuate. Therefore, it’s essential to do due diligence and assess the risks involved with investing in real estate. However, following Ken McElroy’s advice, you can make strategic investments that have a high probability of returning real value in the long run.
In conclusion, using inflation to erode your debt is a sound financial strategy, and real estate investing is one of the ways to achieve this. By investing in income-producing real estate, you can benefit from rising rental prices and increased property value over time, which can be used to lower your debt in real terms. KenMcElroy.com is a valuable resource when it comes to real estate investing, and his advice on using inflation to pay down debt can be a game-changer for those struggling with debt.
12:16 reason why it’s eroding is because there’s a marginal leap on the inflation. When you keep on saving you won’t keep up in “TIME”. So it’s no point on saving that’s why the value of a dollar drop while the printing and cost of living margin increases. That’s insane.
inflation will also erode your cash flow
govt debt is the private sector surplus – the US govt creates the $ – private debt is the main cause as we canot issue the $ – that would be counterfeit. inflation is because of corp profiteering – target the profiteering – The US FED tackling inflation via monetray policy is analogous to pushing on a string – its ridicuclous!
Seems even more relevant today (2023).
A weak dollar can signal an economic downturn, making me to ponder on what are the best possible ways to hedge against inflation, and I've overheard people say inflation is a money-eater thus worried about my savings around $200k
Who is the one in governement that wants to inflate away the debt? Fed reserve seems to do be the opposite due to reputation so who is it in govt?
Does this work all over the world?
Inflation 8+ percent, wow this video aged well.
The GOV’T spending is out of control.
Inflation is crazy
US debt is now at 30,6 Trillion and rising… and the GDP counter is actually going down…
thanks ken
Amazing exposition. I really appreciate your expertise on the field.
What other assets will increase in value during inflation?
So buy real estate to curb inflation!!
You were right about the inflation 🙂 I am putting $10k into Series I Savings Bonds every year now and never take it out.. sure beats the bank and I dont' trust stock market right now due to high CAPE (Shiller PE Ratio), stock buy backs, and the fact the fed will have to keep hiking up interest rates.
Watching this in March 2022. Inflation 7.9% and risiing, and two weeks into war in Ukraine.
This was prophetic. Nice call Ken. This is why I read and watch all of your content.
When inflation is high the housing market take a dive correct?..so if I buy during inflation time let say a 300k at 6%-7% something that at current value is at 400k-500k at 2%-3%..would it make sense to buy during inflation then the loan rate can be refinance..
But I can't refinance the value?
The interest rate on gov debt is extremely low I think. Like a lot of it is <1%
So should someone who is living on a budget and putting all excess cash towards their student debt before investing in RE stop doing that. Should they just make the minimum payment on loan and invest in real estate to hedge inflation, create cash flow, benefit from the tax advantages, all while allowing their new and old debt erode over time?
Hey
This was very educational! Thank you once again!
i think one key point that im not hearing is that wages HAVE to increase in order for this to all happen right. And if it doesnt, which is hasnt in recent years, then it doesnt help at all.. RIGHT?
One of the most valuable videos I’ve watched on YT. Extremely well put together.
