Are you saying real estate will out perform inflation NOW?

You're kidding, right?

Historically real estate approximates inflation so effectively it's just a savings account that keeps your money socked away at current value. Today, it's a guaranteed loss. Five years ago it was a good bet.

It will take a long time for real estate to be a good inflationary hedge again, unless we get runaway/hyper inflation - which is a possibility I guess...
