Feb. 15, 2013 - PRLog -- CUPERTINO, Calif. - With the Federal Reserve promising continued Quantitative Easing, Washington jargon for printing money, a local real estate investment expert says physical assets may be the best way to navigate the next four years.

Jerry Garrity, President of First Statewide Realty in Cupertino (http://www.firststatewiderealty.com), says there is always a flight to tangible assets when the value of a currency declines.

"Unfortunately, most people don't read the news, and even for those who do read the news, they are not necessarily picking up on reality of what the Fed is doing. They are essentially making the dollar worth less with each round of QE. I don't want to sound alarmist, but if you do that long enough, the dollar will become essentially worthless."

Garrity says that the reason investors often move their capital to tangible assets like real estate and gold is that these items generally retain their value over time.

"While the price of the dollar may fluctuate wildly, the underlying tangible asset tends to have some stability to it."

He's not one to prognosticate on what the future holds for the U.S. economy in the coming year, but his recommendation to be prepared has served him and his clients well through his long career in real estate investing.

"I've managed properties for some of Silicon Valley's most seasoned investors, and there's one thing the best ones have in common. They hedge against rocky economies by growing their portfolio of real estate assets over time.
