That’s a big caveat. Inflation is 4-5% officially, bonds are 7-8 ish maybe more for real estate investment. But real estate prices are falling or flat. If you suddenly need to earn even 6% off a house you need to rent it for quite a bit. It might make sense still at the low end (under 250k) but a 500k property needs to rent out for 2500a month to break even. And that’s not including taxes, maintenance, vacancy, admin, and transaction costs at sale. House prices need to come down for this to be a profitable venture again. The bet is that real estate prices will rise to new highs faster than inflation or at least comparable assets. If that doesn’t happen then you lose money
