ParticipantLong term yes, higher rates. But for short term you should be playing the other side of the coin.

If you look at Japan over the course of the last decade and a half, you see low interest rates and stagnant economy with bouts of deflation. There are lots of reasons to think we will experience a similar fate. If that comes to pass, your plan will be a loser, and you will have to cough up money to pay off the loan and interest, or go into bankruptcy.But maybe the deflationista’s are wrong, and you’ll be able to re-lend the money into high paying CDs or some such.
Just be aware that your plan clearly falls under the category of speculation and comes with risks.

My thoughts too.
I personally think that we have too much stuff already. We have entered a commoditized world where everything can be made cheaply. It’s deflationary if people stop buying which they are already doing. Car sales down from 16 million to 9 million annually. Home Depot revenue down from $85 billion to $60 billion.
I don’t think that we’ll see significant inflation until China becomes a consumer society. That’s about 2 decades off.

Well, not exactly. The loan will be in a bank account. I will have been paying interest all along. Nothing new to cough up, just return the principal.
