The Art of Passive Income

Gabe Petersen is the founder of Great Northwest Home Buyers and Kaizen Properties, and the host of The Real Estate Investing Club. He began his career as a management consultant for Fortune 500 companies, but after 7 years of working behind a desk, he called it quits to chase after what he loves the most, communicating directly with people. Gabe ventured into real estate investing after buying a broken-down triplex in Tacoma, WA. He proceeded to flip and wholesale homes in the greater Washington area until he found his niche in Self Storage and Mobile Home Parks. Gabe later founded Kaizen Properties, after purchasing his first two mobile home parks in Washington state. He now operates nationally buying and repositioning self-storage and mobile home parks across the US. With being equipped with the most advanced degree of experience in many different asset classes and strategies, Gabe decided to share some of his acquired knowledge by starting The Real Estate Investing Club podcast and YouTube show.Listen in as they discuss:Gabe’s journey into real estate investingWhy he chose to invest in mobile homes and RV parksHow long does it take to get a deal in mobile home investingHow Gabe went from turning an idea into a successful clubRecommendations and advice for choosing an asset class as a new investorAnd, more!TIP OF THE WEEKMark: My tip of the week is, go to realestateinvestingclub.com, get your education.

We talked about it a little bit earlier, but I have not seen anything like clubhouse in a long time. And there is an early adapter opportunity here that if you put six months into the platform, it’s very addicting and you’ll see that it can suck your life away with the quickness, but if you’re intentional on how you invest your time on the platform, I have confidence that six months in can pay dividends in quite some time.
