So the thing about inflation is it means $100 today, something that will cost $100 today might cost $105 tomorrow.
That's not just because the cost of things are going up.
It's actually the currency devaluing.
So everything is affected by this.
particularly commercial property where you've got high incomes, you're actually hedging your bets against inflation because you're controlling an asset, which is actually improving its value versus the currency.
And also your rents would be too.
So remember, CPI, Consumer Price Index, is one of the methods of raising rents.
commercial property as CPI grows, so does your rent value.
So not only are you going to see currency devalue against your property's value, but it's going to devalue against the rent value as well.
So you're going to be getting a win on both sides to this.
Now, the only negative thing is interest rates will go up, but obviously that's only one part of the equation, one that most people focus on incredibly.
as well.
You've got to look at all parts of the equation.
Why is currency devaluing?
One way of hedging your bets is to buy a property and doing it in a high cash flow manner, like buy through commercial property.
It's a very smart strategy to not have the worries of inflation like you would in others.
It's interesting you mention that because we dabble in residential as well.
We are seeing the same trend.
Residential is starting to slow down and it's off the back of enormous growth rates as well.
So it's inevitable that was going to slow down.
