Summary

Click Here for the Show Notes In this podcast episode, Marco responds to a listener's question about investing in cheap properties. He emphasizes that "cheap" is a relative term and should not be defined by price alone, but by the context of the local market and neighborhood quality. Rather than focusing on the lowest price, investors should identify strong markets and desirable neighborhoods with steady tenant demand and good long-term potential. Marco advises targeting areas that offer solid returns, strong com001parables, and stable communities, cautioning against choosing properties based solely on affordability without considering overall investment fundamentals.
