Where to park savings to hedge inflation while searching for RE

[Mark Buckley]

Hello! My Name is Mark Buckley from NJ. I’m fairly new with Real Estate Investing and currently have 0 properties. For the past 6-8 months I’ve been doing my fair share of research and studying on the topic. Looking to take action and find a property as soon as possible.

As we all know, this affordability crisis is making it difficult for first time home buyers (such as myself) to get into the market. That, plus inflation is pushing me to make a move quick with the money I have in savings which puts in a tricky situation.

My question is, where could I park my savings temporarily to hedge against inflation (and possibly show returns) until I find the right property to buy. Looking for something liquid with moderate-low risk.
