This Investor Cracked the Code to 100+ Rental Properties in 15 Years

Marco went from losing everything to amassing a portfolio of over 100 rental properties and flipping between 200-300 homes. He achieved this in under 15 years and now enjoys time and financial freedom.

Marco started investing in real estate while working as a real estate agent. He learned the fundamentals of how to evaluate deals, raise capital, and scale his portfolio. Marco made some early mistakes by investing in lower-end neighborhoods but course corrected. He shares how he was able to go from 1 rental property to over 100 by using conventional and alternative financing. Marco also flipped hundreds of homes along the way to generate capital for down payments on his buy and hold rentals.

Marco founded Norada Real Estate to help investors invest out-of-state using turnkey rental properties. Norada vets each market, property, and vendor so investors can passively invest in real estate without having to do all the legwork. Marco also has a podcast called "Passive Real Estate Investing" where he teaches more specifics of real estate investing and mindset.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Avoid Headaches Down the Road: Skip Cheap Rentals in "C-Class" Neighborhoods

Don't want to deal with problem tenants that eat away your bottom line? Follow this pro tip to minimize headaches and keep your cash flow consistent.

Marco emphasizes avoiding lower-end "C-class" neighborhoods, even if the rental rates seem enticing. From experience, he's found the savings are quickly wiped out from higher maintenance costs and vacancy rates due to problem tenants. Yet many newbie investors only look at initial numbers without factoring these risks.

When buying Marco's turnkey rental properties fully vetted markets, neighborhoods and appreciation potential, avoidable headaches are already solved for. Tap into a pro who's fixed and flipped over 300 homes when passive investing for the best tenant prospects.

The tip? Think long term - speculative higher returns never last once hidden costs are factored from problematic tenants and crime from marginal neighborhoods. This is exactly why Marco stresses market research first, to preempt future issues.
