RE: 7 Ways Higher Interest Rates Will Reshape The World Economy

in #economics8 years ago

The super low interest rate in the states and asset bubble effect is why I have diversified into some real estate of the past few years. Bottom line is people always need somewhere to live so as long as I buy right I can rent the properties and make income, regardless of what the market does.

P.S. - Love me Australia, Sydney to be specific. Almost stayed there for good!

Melbourne is much better :)

If you're an income investor, it doesn't really matter too much as long as you get the yield you're happy with. If you're a growth investor, it might be a different story. I guess it depends on what happens in the lending market. If the Fed can bring about some wage inflation, property could be a good store of wealth. If not, then perhaps not.

Of course, here in Australia, the market is much more inflated than in south Florida, especially in Melbourne and Sydney.
