Buy and hold is what generates wealth, especially in times of inflation!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly Employment report will be released on Friday (7/2), and these figures on the number of jobs, the unemployment rate, and wage inflation will be the most highly anticipated economic data of the month.

Here’s the thing… even in an “inflated market,” if you hit the 1% rule and don’t over leverage, that property brought in roughly 10% of the “value” in a year.Even if, over the course of 2 years, the value drops by 20%, you’re still even.

My opinion is that inflation will be sustained for at least the next 5 years, and that I could grow more equity during this time while real estate values go up...and then when I finally retire, I can sell one or more of the properties, transfer it via 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust, and maximize cash flow then.What do others recommend if they were in the same position?

Time, population growth, and inflation will win the day for you.

No issues now with the inflation/recession that's going on either.....Just my .02

Agents can also be helpful by their network (reliable lenders, inspectors, contractors, property managers, etc).Nobody has a crystal ball but we do know Fed will raise rates as they believe our "strong economy" can support it and curb inflation.

Instead, I think that we will simply see real wages fall relative to inflation.

With inflation hard upon us, more expected, and with money harder and more expensive to get, do you see a downturn in new residential home building?

Also do your due diligence on the "45%" figure, agents at times can inflate numbers to make it look like a more lucrative deal.
