“Makes me wonder if NOW isn’t such a bad time to buy a house. If massive inflation really hits, a $500k loan at 6.5% might look like peanuts. Anybody got some old Jimmy Carter for Prez pins, that I can borrow?”

Could be. It’s a gamble though. I own my house but am really interested in a splittable lot that is very enticingly priced.But JWM says, no hyper- inflation! Now I ask my self…would you really get your advice from a blog?LOL…. a little inflation, cheap land and money to start and only a 40% drop in house prices. It will work ;).
