Insights from Industry Leaders: Grant Cardone on Real Estate Investment
One of the many ways we strive to provide valuable information is by featuring insights from industry experts. Recently, we had the opportunity to speak with Grant Cardone, a renowned fund manager and CEO of Cardone Capital and Cardone Training Technologies. Cardone has built a successful real estate empire by focusing on strategic property investments.
The Importance of Location in Real Estate
Cardone emphasizes that successful real estate investment is not about finding the lowest price but rather about identifying the best locations. He advises potential investors to focus on major cities, particularly in Southern California, where demand remains high despite regulatory challenges. According to Cardone, areas like San Diego and Orange County are prime investment opportunities due to their affluent populations and limited housing supply.
“[These areas] have a lot of regulations, and regulations increase the cost of housing, because it takes longer to build,” Cardone explains. “If it takes longer to build, that means the product is scarce. And if the product is scarce, that means investors make more money on it when they own it.”
Avoiding Dead Markets
While Cardone highlights the potential of high-demand areas, he also warns against investing in locations that may seem appealing due to low prices but lack economic vitality. He cites places like Jackson, Mississippi, as examples of markets that are unlikely to recover due to a lack of jobs and opportunities. “It’s just dead — it’s a dead market,” he states, urging investors to conduct thorough research before making decisions.
