The Ultimate “Inflation-Proof” Investment (EVEN with High Tariffs)

"If we use that inflationadjusted 1% growth rate I just mentioned, that property would be worth about 337 grand in today's dollars, and that would yield you on the $50,000 you invested a 6.6% real return."

"Well, if you just extrapolate the rate of inflation on that $2,000 per month in rent that you're generating today, your income would balloon to $5,780 per month... But that mortgage payment that was $1,000 today, 30 years from now is still $1,000... making your cash flow $1,890 per month. So, you've gone from a break even situation to a almost $2,000 per month cash flow even if rents only keep pace with inflation."

"But long-term, if you invest in bonds, the yield, the long-term real return is about 1%."

"it is not a great way to outperform inflation."

"they say that the average real return, so adjusted for inflation, is about 6.4%. Again, people do this differently, so I'm just going to say 5 to 7%. So, overall, that means equities are a really good inflation hedge, and they actually beat inflation by quite a lot."

"in real estate, you have a much higher percent chance in a given year that you're going to keep pace with inflation."

"Gold is actually not as good an inflation hedge as most people think or as conventional wisdom says it is."

"If you want to maximize your returns and you're willing to put in a little bit of effort to manage your real estate portfolio, the math and the analysis shows that real estate is indeed the best way to hedge and outperform inflation over the long run."
