For many investors, skyrocketing prices and low cash flow make investing in their own backyard nearly impossible. But what if you could pinpoint exactly where the best opportunities are—without ever setting foot there?

Tapan Trivedi has spent years analyzing data across 380 metro areas to help investors confidently buy in the most promising markets. His S.E.C.R.R.E.T.S method eliminates the guesswork, allowing investors to identify locations with strong cash flow, tenant demand, and repeatable deals.

As a full-time real estate investor and data expert, Tapan is here to break down where the numbers say you should be investing—and how to overcome the fear of remote investing with data-driven confidence.

As a bonus, at the end of the episode Tapan runs a property I own in Grand Rapids, Michigan through his S.E.C.R.R.E.T.S method using his software. You might want to view this episode on YouTube to see the results.
