Message From the CEO
As inflation grips the nation, interest rates are on the rise. Beyond the concern of an impending recession, higher rates increase borrowing costs and stock market volatility, impacting both real estate and traditional market investments. These conditions call for a review of your investment strategies.
We have enjoyed low interest since March of 2020, when the Federal Reserve reduced rates to near zero, providing ultra-low borrowing costs and driving economic growth. In March 2022, the Federal Reserve raised rates in response or record-high inflation. With the goal of cooling prices, the Feds anticipate six more increases in 2022, which will directly impact the stock market and real estate investments.
Actionables include eliminating non-leveraged debt like credit cards or personal loans and allocating a portion of your portfolio to investments that perform well in recessionary conditions.
Recession-proof investments include holdings that remain stable in the face of amplified stock market volatility. Multifamily housing can provide stability because apartment communities offer safe, clean, and affordable housing for others. Short-term leases keep up with inflationary pressures, and real estate tends to hold its value, even when rates rise.
With these things in mind, we focused this month’s articles on three principal things:
- Ways to increase earnings potential through real estate syndications
- Increasing profits by capitalizing on tax benefits
- Employing strategies that allow you to use retirement funds for recession-proof investments like commercial real estate.
