The real estate world is often clouded with various opinions and gut instincts, leaving investors to navigate blind spots and uncertainty. Is there a way to predict success with pinpoint accuracy using data? Can the power of numbers and analytics really lead to a billion-dollar portfolio?

According to Neal Bawa, a data scientist turned real estate investor, the answer is a resounding yes. He highlights that leveraging key metrics like population growth, job growth, income growth, home price trends, and crime reduction can help investors identify the most profitable markets. By creating a system that prioritizes data over intuition, Neal has not only scaled his portfolio to over $1 billion but also empowered thousands of investors to replicate his success. His approach, which he calls Location Magic, enables a predictive and systematic way to assess markets, ensuring investments yield maximum returns while mitigating risk.

Neal shares his process for identifying winning markets, explains how data can minimize risks and maximize returns, and dives into his innovative strategies for leveraging depreciation and syndication. Neal also talks about his mission to develop 10,000 rental townhomes.
