Investment Rationale
Consistent cash flow through rental income with long-term equity growth through property appreciation.
Real assets with contractual rent escalations provide a natural hedge against inflation, preserving purchasing power.
Low correlation with public markets reduces portfolio volatility and enhances risk-adjusted returns across economic cycles.
Depreciation, 1031 exchanges, and favorable capital gains treatment create meaningful advantages for qualified investors.
