Real estate has always been the safe haven. It is where families keep what they have built: tangible, standing, theirs. The elders say it best:
“No one puts a building on their back and walks away with it.”
But it carries one problem: a property does not sell in a day. That is illiquidity. To solve it, many investors turn to the financial markets, which are liquid and flexible but lack the security of something real and built.
We kept returning to one uncomfortable observation: on its own, even the safest asset in America has not reliably kept ahead of inflation. Below, in order: why owning one thing stopped being enough, what we built instead, how we work and report, and who answers for it.
