Hello my friends and welcome to another episode. Now here's your host Marco Santorelli.

Hello, my friends and welcome to another episode of Ask Marco.

So today's question came in this afternoon

shortly after the release of my episode this morning

titled The Real Returns of Real Estate Investing.

Now as a side note I want you to know that you should really listen to that episode.

I recorded it relatively quickly, but I spent dozens of hours preparing for it in terms of

crunching numbers and working on a spreadsheet because I wanted to make sure that I can illustrate it,

at least verbally, to make the case of how powerful real estate

the case of how powerful real estate investing

really is in terms of its returns

because at the end of the day real estate has several pillars of

returns both realized and unrealized and I explain that in the episode so most

people only look at it superficially they understand cash on cash return and they don't understand how really powerful the returns are even in the first year of an investment and I break that down numerically but in an easy to follow and hopefully easily

digestible format. So it's one of those perennial and Cornerstone episodes so that content can live forever because the

principles and the formulas don't change. So I believe that's episode number

two nine nine and it's called the real returns of real estate investing.

But what's interesting and this just might be pure coincidence but I got an email this afternoon from someone I know,

I certainly won't mention their entire name, asking a question and it just seems to be triggered from that episode.
