Serious deflationary pressures in place now, with gold, bitcoin, and next r.e. in jeopardy. 

Many will choose real estate as a safe haven.3) The liquidity crisis is forcing the sale of gold (and bitcoin) which are both going down, so for many loosing a ton of money in stocks does not really motivate one to go out and buy another asset we all watched crater 10 years ago.4) The role of institutional money in residential r.e. is probably not well accounted for, so is black rock going to need to liquidate a couple thousand houses in your state?

Everything is getting sold off right now, stocks , gold , bitcoin, bonds, and the dollar is soaring!!!!

except if everything deflates.... dollar soaring, gold, bonds, stocks, bitcoin, in big selloffs! 

I've been reading so much about people arguing back and forth between gold, silver, USD, bitcoin, real property etc about what might be the better hedge or store of value in catastrophic economic conditions.

I was like Wow why no debt returns are better.. well turns out big family that were billionaire developers in Tokyo and they got their clocked cleaned when Japan melted down had to much debt.. took what cash they had ( which was still 100s of Millions) and just paid cash for all their real estate.. they have quite the portfolio.. 

Buy hey, if it does, some great bargains in a year or two....https://finance.yahoo.com/news/real-estate-billionaire-barrack-says-230309693.html“To keep people employed, you have to support the employers,” he said Monday in the interview.

One of the hosts said he switched all of his holdings to cash and bitcoin lol

He himself bought properties in 80s and in the 90s turned all of the lots into Apt buildings.In other words, the guy was really wealthy and go lucky to be in Williamsburg, one of the highest appreciating neighborhoods in all of America.This is more analogous to the Billionaire Robert Smith who paid off all of the loans for Graduates from Morehouse in his class, including their Parent's loans.Personally, I think if you are going to give Charity, give it to those that are struggling or at least give a Means Test to distribute the money so that you don't give it away to people that really don't need it as much as others that are struggling.Better to donate the money to a good cause than to arbitrarily give it to people whether or not they need it.

It's like people who dabble in Bitcoins.
