1265 - America's Suburbs: The Controversies, Conspiracies, and Greed That Built Them by Andrew Syrios
April 01, 2024 06:00 - 23 minutesIn recent years, a sizeable amount of criticism has been leveled against what many see as endless sprawl and “lifeless” suburbia that surrounds many American cities. In fact, it happens so often that I’m actually a bit surprised that while the difficulty and opportunity of rural investing comes up fairly often, there isn’t a large amount of discussion regarding the merits and challenges of urban versus suburban investing (although there is certainly some in the BiggerPockets forums).

If you’ve done your research into investment financing, you know that investors pay even higher mortgage interest than regular homebuyers (typically between 0.75% and 1.5% higher).
