RG 302 - How to Invest in the Right Deals with the Power of Data – w/ Stefan Tsvetkov

Join us in welcoming a very special guest to our show, a financial engineer turned multifamily investor—Stefan Tsvetkov of RealtyQuant! Stefan moved here to the U.S. at 22 from Bulgaria. He started out as a financial engineer and managed over $90 billion in derivatives in portfolios. Then, he transferred his skills to the real estate field and founded RealtyQuant, a company that brings data-driven and quantitative strategies to the real estate industry. Stefan has been featured in over 30 podcasts and webinar events to date. Today, we have the privilege of having him on the Investing in the US podcast to talk about what goes into investing with quantitative techniques. Some of the topics we touch on include: the sustainability of the recent valuation jump in real estate, forecasting city performances, applying correlations in the market, and so much more. From market fluctuations to home valuations, there is so much data available for analysis in the real estate space. But the problem is that we often don’t know what to do with that data. Stefan is here to shed light on applying quantitative techniques to such a data-rich industry as real estate, and how doing so can help you invest in the most profitable deals. So, don’t miss out on strategies that can help YOU seal the right deals. Click that ‘Play’ button now! KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Don’t invest in a market where you don’t know its value. 2. Real estate is a predictable industry where data is easy to extract; you just have to know what to do with the data that you get. 3. Prices in weaker markets have less exposure to downturn. 4. Markets that are doing well are still going to do well; it all boils down to the measure of downside risk.
