Commercial Investment Real Estate as an Inflation Hedge

 In 1031, California, Columbus, Commercial, Los Angeles, Ohio, Santa Monica

I read an update from the 1031 exchange specialist, Steve Rosansky, regarding increased inflation in the near future and using commercial investment real estate as a hedge.

We’re starting to see the signs of increased inflation with commodity prices up about 7% in the last year and food prices up 20% in the same period.  Now with gas prices on a rapid run up, this is something to consider in the near term future.

Real estate values tend to rise at a rate very close to the rate of inflation.  A study of the correlation between various asset classes and inflation between 1978 and 2008 shows that real estate returns have the highest correlation.
