Operator first. Podcaster second.
Through Kaizen Properties, Gabe has acquired and operates mobile home and RV parks, self-storage facilities and commercial retail in Washington, Texas and Indiana, investing since 2019. On the show, he talks with operators and investors about what is working right now and what they learned the hard way.
“What I appreciated most is that it isn’t filled with hype or recycled advice. It’s an honest conversation packed with practical strategies, real world experience, and insights you don’t hear everywhere else.”
