Inflation erodes purchasing power silently: an 8% annual rate cuts a dollar's value in half over ten years. Real estate is one of the best inflation-protected assets to preserve wealth.
There's a silent killer in your investing portfolio that you're not even thinking about. It's not taxes, it's not fees, it's actually inflation. Inflation is a silent killer that is really hurting the investments in your portfolio. We all know inflation has been really high for the past few years. I think it's going to be not as high as it has been, but still higher than historical averages for the next few years. And you think about inflation, if it's 8% per year over a period of 10 years, the value of the dollar drops by 50— 5-0%— in that 10-year period. So you have to stay ahead of inflation just to maintain kind of a break-even value of your dollar. So you want to be investing in inflation-protected assets. Real estate is one of the best inflation-protected assets out there. That's why I'm a huge believer of investing in real estate.
