#172: Your market choice is more important than your property choice. One of the most prominent real estate developers in the United States, Victor Menasce, tells us how he selects a real estate market. Investing in larger metro areas is generally safer than investing in smaller metro areas because geographies are better diversified. Being invested in only one investment market is a mistake. You’re undiversified. Should you pay more or less than the construction cost of a property? Victor tells us the difference between price and value, and why that matters to you. Four factors drive price/value: 1) Construction cost. 2) Availability of money. 3) Inflation. 4) Supply and Demand. Victor is an expert at selecting markets, developing, and raising capital for deals. If you’re developing or making a large real estate investment, think about how consulting Victor could be a great investment. Connect with him at VictorJM.com.
