### Comment:
And the debt as a proportion of total value goes down. 
  
 If you have 20% down on a million dollar house and overnight there's 100% inflation, you now have 60% equity in a $2 million house. (And could if you wanted borrow more to buy bigger.)

Maybe I’m starting to fit in a little too well on this sub but...  
  
 how does ones equity go from 20% on a 1M house to 60% on a 2M house? I’d expect the opposite, 20% -&gt; 10%, as the amount to be paid has increased, and the amount paid is probably not subject to that overnight inflation.  
  
 Wouldn’t the inflation in this scenario make it so that your house costs twice what you expected?
