    <p>Is there such thing as a “perfect investment?” According to today’s guest, yes. Today on the <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcast">BiggerPockets Podcast</a> we sit down with Paul Moore, a real estate investor whose 18-year journey through real estate has included house flipping, new construction, hotels, and finally—multifamily.
