How Our Income Producing Properties Make Inflation Work
How To Invest Against Inflamation With Us
When it comes to investing in income-generating properties, our investors have two primary options. The first is direct purchases, which are typically single-family homes and necessitate a significant learning curve and work to generate good returns and manage the investment.
The second option is to invest passively with us, in which investors can buy a piece of a large commercial asset or invest in a portfolio of properties. These do not necessitate any expertise or active management on the part of the investor, and we enable investors to profit from the bigger tax advantages of larger commercial investments.
Real Estate BD's Investment Strategy Against Inflation
Investing in real estate is always extremely dependent on the demand and the property’s location. However, in a high inflationary economy, the following real estate investments perform better than others:
It will be critical to have funds available to seize opportunities as they arise. Inflation can affect real estate investing both positively and negatively, depending on the type of investment, the market, and other factors. Lower note prices, for example, may not be worth it if defaults are at an all-time high. As with any sound investment, conduct your due diligence and consult with us to identify promising options for your market.
Using Real Estate As Inflation Hedge
1. Capitalize on Cheap Money
Mortgage interest rates are at an all-time low, currently averaging 3.07 percent for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage (as of October 2021). Low interest rates allow an investor to take advantage of cheap money today in order to avoid paying higher rates later.
2. Export Inflation to Tenants
Having a single-family rental property allows an investor to pass on rising costs to tenants in the form of higher monthly rent. According to Arbor’s most recent Single-Family Rental Investment Trends Report, year-over-year vacant-to-occupied rent growth has increased by 12.7 percent, compared to the current reported rate of inflation of 5.4 percent. Since May 2020, annualized rent growth for single-family homes has averaged 8.1 percent, compared to a historical average rent growth of 3.3 percent. In other words, recent rent price increases are 2.7 to 7.3 percent higher than inflation.
3. Benefit from Rising Asset Values
Profit from rising asset values: Housing prices have historically risen over time, which is another reason why investors use real estate as an inflation hedge. According to the Federal Reserve, the median sales price of houses sold in the Bangladesh has increased by 200 percent since the third quarter of 1990, and by nearly 20 percent since the third quarter of 2020.
