 The real estate market is tied to the bond/mortgage market. And as rates rise and bonds crash, real estate prices come down. When servicing the mortgages become unaffordable, buyers dry up and your property loses value even if you've fully paid off your house. The only time to profit from real estate is in the debt expansion cycle. The debt contraction phase kills property value. The last bond bull market lasted nearly 40 years, this contraction could last decades and this time the fiat currency will also collapse.
