I think in 2022, this Federal Reserve acted more responsibly in the long-term interests of our country than any other central bank in the world, and made the hard, right choices, to preserve the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency for perhaps a few more decades at least.

The famous Amsterdam study looked at bills of sale for >400 years on canal front homes in Amsterdam, and price appreciation exactly mirrored inflation rate, ie residential real estate or any real estate never goes up in Value only in Price because the currency its denominated in loses its value at same rate.

But to be clear, I suggest having RE portfolio of assets in multiple countries, and multiple currencies, including the US and USD.  

In Real Estate our reputation is currency...

If owning rental property is part of your long-term strategy of creating passive wealth - and there are other vehicles, from inflation-eating CDs and treasury notes to all-out-financial warfare Third world financial currency - one of your biggest risks is having enough money to get you through the 5-30 years that you will be too old to make much/any money through your labor.

In short , any rate/currency hike is causing liquidity crisis causing delay in ground up project even for project that was approved 2 4 years before the rate hike….

Depending upon whether they are a bank or a trust company, custodians are heavily regulated by the IRS, DOL, possibly the FDIC, State Banking Commissioner, and the Comptroller of the Currency.

Additionally, the dollar(the primary currency) is used there and the prices are CHEAP compared to US, across the spectrum - not just in Real Estate.

So, how do you invest to (1) take advantage of property price appreciation and/or protect against inflation (devaluation of “fiat” currency) and still protect against a crash?  

My rough math says that with smart investments, I should be able to get between $150k and $200k in passive income, which sounds very comfortable.With all this government money printing, I feel like inflation is about to be a huge deal and that I should convert away from fiat currency ASAP.
