re; the egenral argument to buy, being, well, it’s all going to be a wash with inflation and rising interest rates, so real estates a decent place to park cash…it’s not a stretch for me to imagine taking my 20% down right now on an ok 300k house, putting that 60k in gold, and having the gold price triple to 180k and meeting or approaching the house’s price in the next 5 years. not sure what that means if interest rates double as well, but i think there’s some realistic probability you could pay cash for the house with the 20% down held in gold for 5 years or so…
