Logical flaw... As interest rates go up, inflation does too... So even if rates would pressure home values down, inflation pushes home values up. So if you can leverage debt in today's dollars at 3.5% and rates go back to the 7-9% range which is a historic average, youre basically earning. 5+% untaxable dividend, even before the home itself rises in value.

I know it sounds like I'm talking myself into liquidating my collection...not the case, just playing devils advocate to the previous post.
