Summary
Marco Santarelli returns to share real estate opportunities you should be jumping on in 2025! Despite rising interest rates, Marco remains optimistic about real estate as one of the best opportunities to be a part of. He explains that high demand and low supply in many U.S. markets create opportunities, particularly in non-tier-one markets, and encourages investors to focus on "where" to invest rather than "when" to start. Most people who do start investing in real estate regret that they didn't invest even more!
Today we discuss...
- Marco Santarelli shares his journey as a serial entrepreneur with a primary focus on real estate investing, specifically in turnkey investment properties.
- Rising interest rates and their impact on real estate affordability.
- Focusing on location rather than timing the market, as there are always opportunities in specific markets.
- A lack of supply has created high demand in many U.S. housing markets, which is unlikely to be balanced before 2030.
- How affordability challenges affect buyers and investors, especially in expensive tier-one markets.
- Marco argues that even with higher mortgage rates, real estate investments continue to offer wealth protection, growth, and tax benefits.
- The current economic backdrop, including inflation and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy, and its effects on real estate.
- Real estate investments are viable at any interest rate if the numbers work and the location is right.
- Housing demand is high due to an underbuilt market, with 2.1 million units needed to meet current demand.
- Industrial real estate is performing well, while commercial properties struggle with vacancies.
- Small-scale residential properties (1-4 units) are ideal for most investors due to financing benefits and availability.
- Effective property management is essential; consider tenants as customers and research property managers’ services, reputation, and fees.
- Real estate offers long-term benefits through cash flow, equity, and tax advantages, and consistent education is key for successful investing.

| 0:10.0 | Hello, Smart Money Tree Podcasts, listeners. Welcome to this week's show. |
| 0:14.0 | My name is Kirk Chisholm. I'll be your host. So today I'm joining with Marco Santorelli. |
| 0:18.0 | How are you doing, Marco? |
| 0:20.0 | Kirk, I'm doing great. How are you? Doing |
| 0:21.9 | great. You're one of our two Pete's. You've been on the show before and trying to bring back some my |
| 0:26.9 | favorite guests to talk about some of my favorite topics. But for those of you who didn't hear |
| 0:32.1 | the prior episode with Marco, tell us a bit about your background. My background. Well, I just refer to |
| 0:36.4 | myself as a serial entrepreneur. I've been involved with small businesses and launching various business ventures over the years. And now I've focused primarily on real estate, real estate investing, but an eclectic mix of other investments, including e-commerce, Broadway productions, Broadway musicals, co-producing about 12 or 13 right now, run a small |
| 0:55.9 | investment fund, a few masterminds, large educational masterminds. So I'm involved in |
| 1:01.1 | everything. But the thing I've pretty much been involved in the longest, Kirk, and kind of what |
| 1:05.3 | I've been known for, really launching and pushing hard the whole turnkey investment real estate product and space, |
| 1:14.3 | you know, one to four unit properties. I started out about, oh man, what was it? |
| 1:18.6 | 2004, so 20 years ago, a little over 20 years ago. It's been a successful business and we |
| 1:23.7 | continue to sell hundreds and hundreds of properties every year to investors by providing |
| 1:27.8 | them that complete turnkey investment experience. But anyway, I'm trying to answer your question |
| 1:33.1 | in a very short period of time. There's just a lot there. I think there's a lot of depth. |
| 1:37.2 | That's all right. We'll get into the weeds a little bit. It's a good start anyway. |
| 1:40.5 | So you came on before to talk about passive real estate investing and turnkey real estate investing. |
| 1:45.8 | Let's start out just kind of talking about part of the reason I want to bring you back in the show is we took a little hiatus on the show from talking about real estate for a while because real estate rates, interest rates went up and it got a lot more expensive. |
| 1:58.3 | And to me, it just seemed very attractive. |
