US 10 year Treasury yields tumbled (by nearly 10 basis points today and counting..) with the latest inflation metrics showing a dip last month indicating the Federal Reserve could start to lower interest rates this year with a now 80% chance of a September rate cut. 

The characteristics defined by the location include:Total capital required: If you can grow your portfolio using accumulated equity by cash-out refinancing, which is only possible in areas with high appreciation, you'll need considerably less capital from your savings.Inflation protection: Whether rents outpace inflation, enabling you to sustain your lifestyle indefinitely, only occurs in cities with significant and sustained population growth.Income persistence: How long your income will last.

Or, just didn't worry about inflation and just adjusted your CapEx numbers as the years went by? 

Is inflation trending in the right direction yet?

Or just keep renting/waiting (mortgagetruth).Today’s Interest Rate: 6.99%(👇 .09%, from this time last week, 30-yr mortgage)Briefly, because I want to get right to our main topic of today’s newsletter, a few comments on what Jerome Powell said on inflation this week.

I’m scrapping up money to invest and this 401k just sitting there barely appreciating (I actually lost money with inflation) .Thanks

The low rates were an anomaly and totally unnecessary, as today's reality shows that the economy can boom without them and created that inflation scare that nobody wants to see again.2.
