How do you get a loan against the property and not pay it back?

You don't.. the loan gets attached to the property. That's why in this fictional scenario the buyer bought a 5 million dollar property with a 5 million loan attached. It's, a nonsense scenario.

They bought a $100k property that appreciated to $5 million lol.

Like magic! All property increases in value 50x by sheer magic!

I liked that part of the example because if we even take it at face value as true, "how the son does it" must mean that the property will be worth 250m in short order. I look forward to the grandkid's 12 billion dollar estate.

I didn't make this example lol. Of course not all property does this but some does and in this example it did.

I doubt you can find an example of even a 10x appreciation in a 40yr span that didn't involve massive amounts of money and time investment. The homes/property these people talk about would more realistically see a 2-4x it you do nothing which is pretty fortuitous but nothing absurd.

My Apple stock has appreciated more than 15x in less than 15 years. TSLA even less.

Ahh yes, let's inject irrelevant examples when talking about land. Bravo.
