Interest Arbitrage:
For those of you who have no idea what this phrase means, let me explain it to you.
Interest: interest rates.
Arbitrage: is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets.
Simply put, the rich get richer by taking in a higher interest rate return than the interest they pay on the loan they take.
Simplest Example:
I borrow $1 million from the bank at 2% interest.
I lend it out to someone at 6% interest.
By doing nothing, I earn 4% interest.
Of course, the real-life example is not that simple. But as an illustration to show you the point.
More Common Example:
I buy a house for $1 million.
I put a 10% down-payment ($100,000) and borrow the rest of the $900,000 from the bank.
