inflation for rental properties

[Samuel Chua]

If I am a singaporean and am investing in the states, how do I protect myself from inflation? Do I have to include that in my monthly expenses? Thanks!

@Samuel Chua mild inflation is good for real estate. Rents go up with inflation and property values go up with inflation. the problem is with very high rates of inflation costs may go up faster than rents.  The best way to protect yourself is with deals that have enough cash flow to cover unexpected expenses or inflation of costs.
