40-year record high inflation of 8.6% can be worrisome.😳

But rents have been rising 4X faster than income since 1985, and they've been outpacing inflation... which is even more problematic.💸

While a case can be made for renting in certain situations, this shocking truth still stands.

If you can afford a home, your net worth will be well over $300,000 higher than someone renting.🏠 A home is a forced savings account that can also help you move up in wealth as you trade up homes.

📊 Interest rates may have spiked recently, but they're still historically low.

You have to ask yourself these questions...

✅ In the coming months, where do you think interest rates will go? Up or down?
✅ Do you believe home prices will appreciate over the next decade?
✅ Can you turn back time?
✅ And given all that, when is the best time to buy/sell/act?

Remember this, time in the market outperforms timing the market. So don't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait.📈
