So should I hold out on buying CRE for my business to run out of or buy it now. What's the best method of taking advantage or removing risk? Literally just put an offer in on a new property.
(Or like I've been telling all parties, we need to just dope up our treasury with bitcoin and watch where the pieces fall.)
You know your business and I don't do I'm in no position to advise you on specific properties.
However, historically, when countries are hopelessly in debt, they debase their currencies to keep the game going a little longer before an official devaluation of the currency. The way I have prepared for this is to own scarce, valuable assets. In my case those assets in order of effectiveness are Bitcoin, gold mines, rare earth mines oil and gas producing minerals, real estate, stocks in companies with pricing power and just enough paper dollars to pay taxes, meet payroll and for our spending needs.
It's hard to predict timing. America, Japan and others have kept the massive debt game going longer than I predicted. For instance I never thought of the "Fed balance sheet debt" trick. And I bet the gov will come up with other tricks to keep it all going just a little longer. But the end game is always the same. Massive borrowing, larger and larger QE which get less effective with every round, currency debasement, collapse and new money. But, for instance, beach front property is still very valuable because they aren't making anymore of it and people want it.
