This series is an EXPANDED VERSION of the new book I just published called Inflation for Real Estate Investors.
Nomad™ and Inflation
Nomading™ is the sequential buying of owner-occupant properties where you keep the previous property you lived in as a rental.
Annual Paying Subscribers to this substack get access to the Real Estate Financial Planner™ software to be able to change these assumptions to closer match your personal situation.

Basically:
You buy a property as a owner-occupant (like we just did in previous modeling). This is often done with low down or nothing down loans with lower, owner-occupant mortgage interest rates. And, if you’re putting less than 20% down, you’ll likely have PMI.
You live there for a year. This is a requirement of the lender. Failing to do so is considered loan fraud and has severe consequences (severe like possible prison time severe).
After you fulfil the obligation of the lender, you then buy another owner-occupant property with little or nothing down (usually 5%) to live in and move into that new property to live there for at least a year.
You convert the previous property you were living in to a rental after you move out.
You repeat this process until you reach your financial goals and have the number of rental properties you desire.
By utilizing this strategy you’re able to acquire a portfolio of rental properties with small down payments (or no down payment in some rarer cases) and better, owner-occupant interest rates.
You could buy about 4 times as many properties with the same down payment—instead of needing 20% down for each property, you could buy 4 properties with the same 20% down payment instead.
For more detailed information about the Nomad™ real estate investing strategy, check out Introduction to Nomad™ Real Estate Investing (and other titles) in The Real Estate Investing Mentor series.
What if instead of just buying one owner-occupant property, they decide to Nomad™ and acquire 9 rentals and an owner-occupant property to live in (10 properties total over about 10 years)?
Nomad™ at 3% Inflation
Let’s first start the modeling by comparing just the 3% inflation environment and dig into that then we can look at summaries for how Nomad™ performs in a variety of inflationary environments.
