In this solo episode of Utleiepodden, host Kristine Høst addresses the common belief that private individuals should strive to become completely debt‑free, especially when they already own valuable property. She argues that, for many, keeping mortgage debt (rammelån) and using it strategically can create far greater wealth for oneself and future generations. Kristine walks through a detailed numerical thought experiment featuring two versions of a 60‑year‑old woman named Kari. In the first scenario Kari pays down a 3 million NOK loan over 15 years, then invests the freed‑up 27 000 kr per month, ending up with about 16,9 million NOK at age 95. In the second scenario Kari requests avdragsfrihet, continues to pay only interest, and invests 16 000 kr per month while the loan remains, resulting in roughly 36,9 million NOK at age 95, despite still owing 3 million NOK. The model assumes a 4,5 % mortgage rate and an 8‑9 % historical investment return. Kristine highlights the benefits of rammelån (flexible credit line, no need for a separate buffer account) and gives practical advice: ask banks for avdragsfrihet, negotiate lower interest rates, and compare offers. She encourages listeners to use the calculator on rentersrente.no to explore their own scenarios. The episode concludes with an invitation to a three‑day “300 000 utleier challenge” (May 18‑20) where participants will learn to identify and mobilise assets to generate 300 000 kr of passive income annually.
