With hundreds of units under his belt in California, Arizona, and soon Texas, Guido has honed strategies for securing financing, finding quality service providers, engaging positively with residents, and adding value through modest upgrades. He explains how to determine a property\'s class level based on metrics like price, condition, amenities, and neighborhood quality. Guido stresses the importance of aligning with reliable partners and service providers willing to work in distressed areas.
