Hyper Inflation - How Does It Affect Real Estate Investment?

Is there a serious risk of hyper inflation happening with trillions of dollars of printed money being pumped into the world economy by governments around the globe? Historical evidence shows that when too much money chases too few goods-and-services it invariably results in inflation.

In case hyper inflation does occur what are the options for a real estate investor? I will appreciate your comments on a topic that can effect all real estate investors in the coming months.

When inflation raises house values usually rises as well.

Historically, with high inflation, investors try to get their wealth sheltered in hard assets. Real estate and precious metals normally do quite well.

Since the general public just got very badly burned with real estate, it remains to be seen how short their memories are. They might be afraid to get back into real estate.

Me, I’ll be perfectly happy to pay back my fixed rate mortgage with after inflation dollars.
