Fiat money is being devalued due to inflation.

Chances are the property in question is returning a negative cash flow, market factors can also play a role on that appreciation, political or like New York real estate witnessed devaluation during the peak of the pandemic with people leaving  the cities. 

Current political situation in Ukraine, the Oil price decline and devaluation of Russian currency has made those investors to retreat.Many banks are left with RE that they can't get rid of.Predrag

Because you could still buy it at the devalued flood property value, flip the flood zone, remove that yearly expense, and now you gained property value they didn't know was possible.Feel free to DM me.

I just see a lot of comments on here devaluing the work of others.

Do not devalue your work.

Assuming modest inflation over those years, the value of the remaining balance would also have devalued by a decent amount, which is another factor in your favor.Other possible middle grounds:- Find financeable properties that can be bought cheaper due to needing a modest rehab (paint, carpet, and a few k of handyman fixes).

My biggest goal is to protect my equity in a safe asset linked to the dollar: real estate in USA.I want a property that is a good investment but that I can also use in the future as I intend to live in the USA for a few years.I have up to $200k in cash and I intend to purchase properties in the $280-350k range - using a mortgage.I'm conservative and don't like to leverage myself too much with bank loans.My goals in order of importance:1) Asset Protection.2) Low Risk of Devaluation.3) Long-Term Valuation.4) Long term rental.Positive cash flow is not a priority.For the value I can't get SFH, so I'm looking for THs in "Under Construction" or properties with a maximum of 10 years of construction.My first question is about the location.

Hi Mike, I would focus on Ohio which is devalued compared to other places you mentioned.
