Seven Reasons Why

---

By: Jim West

The election, the economy, the ever quickening pace of change may create the sensation we have been hit by a tsunami. The world is far different from the one we knew last year.  Clearly we have a period of repair and rebuilding and a good strategy in times like these is to return to fundamentals.  A fundamental that has not changed over the four hundred years we have been residents on this continent: The value of property steadily increases and is a great reservoir of our wealth.  This is particularly true in our commercial centers. There are seven demographic and financial reasons that commercial property is a tremendous tool for generating and protecting wealth over the long term. It will prove very stable through the turbulence that is our 21st century economy. Commercial property  is available not just to large institutions and developers, but  accessible to small and medium sized investors, and even individuals seeking stability in their IRA.

Over the next several weeks we will share with you all Seven Reasons Why. Considering the events of September and October we've decided to focus on reason number three this week: Government Monetary Polices.  There are several tactics the government uses that result in inflation.  Today we'll speak of Consumer Price Inflation.
