Rising inflation effects on STR?

[Derrick Cameron Jenkins]

I am in the final stages of acquiring a down payment for my next investment. I was initially planning on using the money to purchase a property in Palm Springs for an STR, but with todays announcement of higher inflation bringing us closer to the panic that comes with a recession I am second guessing. My next option would be a medical office building cash flowing less but a safer investment for sure. I know that there isn't anyone who can predict what will happen, but I am curious what the general population is thinking about the immediate to mid term future of the STR market. I also don't believe I have the reserves to weather the recession storm for more than 8 months.
