Keith Wasserman has “never had a job.” Co-Founder of Gelt Ventures and Kyle Matthews’ longtime friend, Keith is a real estate powerhouse whose tenacity evolved from selling 200,000 assets on eBay in college to acquiring $3 billion worth of multifamily and self-storage properties. After Keith bought his first property in 2009, he met his wife—equally tenacious and an avid cold caller—and the two started what’s now a multi-billion dollar commercial real estate venture in the western United States. Keith discusses investing strategies, building business relationships early on at USC, managing a career with his wife, and overcoming challenges in raising capital.
