In this episode of Uncontested Investing, let’s dive deep into the world of emerging real estate markets—what they are, how to spot them, and why they present some of the best opportunities for investors looking to get ahead of the curve. We break down the key indicators like job growth, migration patterns, and infrastructure investments that signal when a market is about to take off. Plus, we share real-world examples of once-overlooked cities that turned into major success stories—and how you can get in early on the next wave.
