Click Here for the Show Notes Today’s question comes from Carlos — and it’s a great one because it touches on four of the most common questions real estate investors ask when building their portfolios. In this episode, Marco breaks down the key decisions every investor faces: choosing between a 15-year or 30-year mortgage, deciding whether to buy pre-construction or newly renovated properties, weighing the pros and cons of self-managing versus hiring a property manager, and determining how much to save for reserves, maintenance, and vacancies. Along the way, Marco explains how flexibility, inflation, and long-term strategy can work in your favor, and why your focus should always be on your own goals—not someone else’s pace or portfolio. Whether you’re just getting started or already growing toward ten properties or more, this episode offers practical insight on how to build wealth steadily and strategically through real estate.  👉 If you’re ready to take the next step toward building your real estate portfolio, visit noradarealestate.com to connect with an investment counselor and start exploring turnkey rental opportunities today.
