Commercial real estate investments have historically had the highest correlation to inflation when compared to other asset classes like the S&P 500, 10 year treasuries and corporate bonds.  The benefits of owning commercial real estate are numerous, especially when taking into account the current economic policies of the United States, Asia and Europe to print more money to spur economic growth. 

 

Real estate is one of the few investment classes that has meaningful intrinsic value and is a hard asset.  The structure has value as does the land it sits on.  And the US Tax code benefits real estate owners in a number of ways.

 

Increased value in the investment can be facilitated by a number of ways.  They have historically provided excellent appreciation in value.  Properties can increase in value from internal factors such as proactive management, forcing appreciation by making cost-effective improvements to the property that improve usability and desirability of the asset, and external factors such as supply and demand imbalances.
