"A real estate investment provides a hedge against inflation if rents keep pace with, or outpace, the rate of inflation," says Derek Graham, principal and founder of Odyssey Properties Group. "Property types such as multifamily (apartment buildings) that are able to adjust rents more rapidly tend to be the most inflation-resistant." He adds that the typical lease term on an apartment is 12 months, after which point the rent amount can be readjusted to reflect the current market.
"Whether it's a single-family home, a shopping center, an industrial warehouse, or a myriad of other real estate assets, individuals can generate a steady stream of cash flow from the rental income of their real estate investments," says Graham. "The level of income generated is dependent on both the location and type of property, as well as the current market conditions."
