The Best Investment...

As inflation nears a 40 year high and stock markets experience heightened volatility, there is an increasing number of people looking for safe and stable ways to invest their capital. While there are many different routes one can take, real estate currently ranks as the top long-term investment choice for Americans.

Here are two reasons why this is the case.

First is that real estate is a fantastic hedge against inflation. Housing prices have kept up with inflation for over 100 years, and even outstripped it by a few percentage points in many developed economies. Real estate usually has little correlation with stocks and bonds, so it is a great way to diversify your portfolio, and add a layer of security and stability to your financial situation.

Second of all real estate is an investment that an owner can actually enjoy! This reason is often overlooked but nevertheless is a strong case for many Americans who want to invest in something that isn't just a number on paper. With real estate you can take comfort in knowing that as you upgrade aspects of your own living situation, you are simultaneously creating additional equity for your future.
