Summary
A new train line is being built nearby, drastically reducing the commute time to the city center. Luca and Mat believe the neighborhood is poised for growth once the station opens, and they’ve been buying aggressively in anticipation of rising property values and rents.
On this episode, they share how they spotted the opportunity early, what signs they look for when investing in the path of progress, and how you can identify similar trends in your own market.
We also discuss their mission-driven strategy of renting to disabled military veterans and how it’s made a difference in their business and their community.
