REAL ESTATE VERSUS GOLD

We are hearing so many advertisements about buying gold as a hedge against inflation and the uncertainty of the economy.

My preference is rental of real estate as a great hedge against inflation plus the yearly income from rentals. Gold does not offer the benefits of a yearly rental income stream. The rental return on today’s reduced values of great real estate properties offers a good return plus far exceeds money just sitting in the bank at very low interest rates.

The real estate window of opportunity will not last indefinitely for below-market purchases of good income property.

If you would like additional information on Real Estate Investing, a number of Watson Realty Associates have completed extensive training on real estate investing through “Own America” and can help you make good decisions.
