I think that is a pretty risky strategy, unless you are planning to take in boarders to make ends meet or planning to move to a less expensive country with the proceeds. There is no guarantee house prices will rise and even if they did, you have to live somewhere and would be affected by that same inflation.
And you’d better hope that the illegals who built your house didn’t cut corners, or you’re going to be in for a lot of unpleasant surprises down the road.
