Direct answer

Rents rise with inflation while debt is fixed and depreciating in real terms.

Expanded explanation

Triple inflation hedge: rent income inflates, replacement cost inflates, fixed mortgage payment deflates in real dollars.

Examples

  • 10% inflation: rent +10%, payment unchanged → real cash flow +30%.
