Deflation to Hyperinflation?

Account Closed
Posted

Here is an interesting article written back in 2008. It theorized that we may end up with a deflation, which in turn leads us to a hyperinflation.

This is basically what happened in Germany between world wars.

I wonder what the above scenario would do to our RE portfolios.

One reason I like real estate. Inflation, deflation, I still have a house and that house is something useful.

Stocks, and even money, can turn into toilet paper under adverse conditions.

Of course, the way the current administration so going, they might decide that I can't get tenants out, no matter what, or even decide to give my house to my tenants. Then, I don't even have toilet paper.
