How does property debt work?

Property debt, like Kiyosaki's, often involves borrowing against the value of real estate. As property values rise, owners can take out new loans using their increased equity as collateral. This isn't personal debt in the traditional sense, as the loans are secured by the property itself, not just the individual's income.
