As long as we are talking hypothetical more and more rent stabilized apartments are becoming unstabilized every day.
Most privately owned apartments are co-op and with baby boomers finally relocating or dying it won't be long before everything not city or state run will be free of that monster.

Significant inflation would occur, and anyone making more than minimum payments on debts would be suckers. The real value of their debts would have just dropped, and the interest rates would likely be eaten up by the massive inflation.

I think interest rates for new lines of credit would drop, because with the free cash being handed out, there would be lower demand for loans. But, it might not be a good time to get a mortgage because property prices would probably go up rather sharply.

Better start checking prices and getting ready to whittle down that list. You can probably get the cat and the German SUV, and hope someone gives you another $100,000.

I'd put mine in the bank and bytch some more about the low to non-existent bank rates.
