Luckily I am relatively young (29) and have time on my side to weigh into the long term pros more than the short term cons.I read a study recently that proved that on average throughout the entire United States, home appreciation percentage has beaten inflation every single year for the past 80 years!

With the cash in the bank it will lose ~8% per year to inflation. 

We have high inflation that has to be combated by increasing interest rates.

How is everyone missing Inflation?

I was thinking that was pretty inflated as well.

Let's take a quick look at our economic environment, the definition of "sticky" real estate, and then how specific types of real estate can hedge against inflation.Rising Consumer Price Index and Interest RatesThe combination of the Covid pandemic, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and supply chain shortages across the globe have the world reeling under rising inflation.In response to inflation, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates with the hope of curbing high inflation without stunting economic growth.As consumers see their monthly payment go up in almost every area, investors are looking for an investment strategy that will work as an inflation hedge, provide real estate income, and create long-term cash flow if inflation hits even harder.This is where the "sticky" asset classes of real estate come into play.

We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.  

Nonhomeowners are getting hit hard by inflation. 

If you hold the note you are basically covering just above inflation and get paid off in 3 years and can recycle the money.If its a A or B area I would rent, if its a C I would sell owner financing.

Many market's property values are artificially inflated and will not allow positive cash flow.
