As someone who’s been deeply involved in multifamily investing for years, I often think about the broader picture of wealth-building and how we can protect and grow what we’ve worked hard for in today’s economy. With inflation making its impact felt everywhere, it’s becoming clear that we all need to think beyond traditional assets like cash and explore other ways to preserve and build wealth. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how assets like gold and crypto are gaining more attention as “safe havens” during times of market uncertainty. But it also got me thinking, how do these assets compare to multifamily real estate, which is where a lot of my focus has been? And more importantly… How can we, as investors, use the knowledge of these assets to strengthen our overall investment strategies? 🪙 Take gold, for example. In 1975, gold was priced at $160 per ounce. Today, it’s around $3,319 per ounce, an increase of over 2,000%. But here’s what stands out: it’s not that gold got more valuable. It’s that the value of money, specifically the dollar, has significantly decreased over time. Let’s consider the value of a gold bar: Back in 1975, a standard 400-ounce gold bar would have cost around $64,000. Today, that same bar is worth over $1.3 million. While gold does hold its value, it doesn’t produce income. It simply acts as a store of value over time. Now, for those of us in the multifamily space, we know that real estate has a unique advantage: it’s an income-producing asset. Multifamily properties, like the ones we invest in, don’t just hold value; they can generate consistent cash flow through rents, appreciate over time, and offer tax benefits. These are the qualities that make real estate such a powerful tool in building long-term wealth. As I think about the challenges we all face with inflation and the uncertainty in the markets, it becomes even clearer to me why multifamily real estate is such an attractive option. It offers a tangible way to protect against inflation, diversify our portfolios, and build lasting wealth…without relying on assets that simply sit there and hold value without producing anything. For those of you who are just starting to explore multifamily investing or looking to strengthen your own portfolio… I want to share this: It’s not about how much money we have, but what we do with it. The key is to find assets that not only preserve value but also help you create something that lasts, a legacy of financial security for you and your family. So, how are you positioning yourself in today’s economy? Are you looking at gold or crypto, or are you leaning toward income-producing assets like real estate? I’d love to hear your thoughts and continue the conversation around how we can all grow together in this ever-changing landscape. Let’s share what we know and help each other thrive.
