And since the value of that dollar is being devalued that means that you have to make even more money in the future to replace that which you loaned, thus the interest rate will be even higher.


You should get compensated for this level of accurate reporting!!!

This is just a simple supply and demand curve.

When the economy expands, the demand for money increases (more financing for projects etc.). Thus, the demand curve shifts causing the intersection of supply and demand to intersect at a higher price. The price is interest rate.

I don't have enough money to speculate (gamble) with real estate. I would pick the property that makes the most monthly income.

If you are a wealthy individual or you ahve access to wealth then I think you should pick a region of the country that is most likely going to appreciate.

I would imagine California is a poor option due to the fact that the real estate prices are already so high (even after the bubble burst).

I just looked at that tool for the first time becuase of your post. There is a sample property that doesn't cash flow before taxes, but after taxes it does.

For me, I would not want to be involved in a deal that doesn't tax flow before income taxes, even though this link makes it look good on paper. I think this sort of deal is only useful to a very wealthy individual who can afford to lose money every month. This individual is not looking for Cash Flow or Income from the investment. So, in my opinion, its not appropriate to include tax benefits as part of a Cash Flow model.

The evaluation of the tax benefits from an Income Properties only serve to confound the issue when you are primarily interested in Cash Flow as the OP is. Particularly when the investor is a novice.

Hold on a second! Is this country a bunch of COMMUNISTS or SOCIALISTS????? Not that there is a difference as long as its in ALL CAPS!!

Terrific ANALYSIS!!! The CHOSEN ONE is stripping all of our the rights due to an economic crisis by SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY to prop up an economy based on FAKE money. Once the inevitable hyperinflation/nuke lobbing comes Obama is going to turn this country into The Peoples Republic of COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST Muslim Americans!!!

As a Reagan Conservative I approve this topic. I'm so happy we have historians like TIm and Economists like Maty who contribute here!!

Thank GOD for all of the enlightened viewpoints here!

I can't believe there are IDIOTS out there who still believe in Global Warming!! Its all part of the new SOCIALIST RELIGION designed to destroy this country and foster a nanny state of dependant scumbags. I will never ever watch that Al Gore propoganda movie because I know he is a LIAR and just mad cause BUSH took Florida.

Guys there is no way these SOCIALIST WHACKO environmentalists will ever come up with a temperature because the notion of moderation and 6 billion human beings having an effect on a HUGE place like planet earth is RIDICULOUS!!! I think everyone knows that.

GOOD POINT TIM I THINK THESE MORONS ARE HIGH!! U R 2 FUNNY.

one last thing- there's no scientific consensus on global warming.
