INVEST IN LAND DURING TIMES OF INFLATION
Inflation. Nobody likes having their purchasing power decrease; or, put another way, paying more for goods and services. Inflation lowers the value of investments and cash savings.
Savvy investors try to “inflation-proof” their portfolios by diversifying and holding investments in hard assets like gold, bonds, commodities (such as grain, precious metals, oil, beef, and natural gas), and real estate.
What can regular people, without big portfolios or piles of extra cash, do? You can invest in raw land. Raw land is a plot of land that has not been developed or prepared for construction – it’s completely untouched. According to The Motley Fool, demand for land has been growing steadily over the last decade, about 2% – 4% per year. The National Association of Realtors is predicting demand for residential land in the coming year to be 3% – 5%.
Land is typically a “buy and hold” type of investment. You buy it with today’s pricing and then sell it years later for a profit. The benefits to owning land include:
- Land is a “hands-off” investment. There are no tenants, toilets, or termites to deal with. There are no improvements you must make before selling it again.
- Land is inexpensive to maintain. There are no mortgage payments to make, no utility bills to pay, and the property taxes are usually quite low.
- Land will increase in value: untouched land is a commodity you can’t make more of (limited supply), and the population is always growing (increased demand), which places upward pressure on value.
- Land’s value will not be affected by inflation, as it tends to appreciate alongside the rate of inflation.
- Land usually has no obligation or requirement to build, so you can hold it as a simple investment for as long as you like.
