EP224 From Maintenance Man to over $290 Million and 5,000 Units in Acquisitions with Glenn C. Gonzales

My guest today wants you to know that if he can make it as a successful real estate investor, then anyone can. Glenn Gonzales began as a maintenance man working for several other successful real estate investors. As he grew more confident in his job, he began to realize how the proactive decisions he was making were improving the health of the properties he was maintaining. But it was the other lessons he learned on the job that propelled him to where he is today. Glenn is now the CEO and Co-Founder of Obsidian Capital, a real estate investment firm out of Austin Texas. In the past 6 years Glenn has accomplished over $290 Million in total acquisitions, 5,000 total units, and raised over $80 Million.

Glenn is also the author of the bestselling book "Maintenance Man to Millionaire: Real Estate Wealth Creation for Everyday People". He's also a great guy with a lot of fun stories to share, and today he's going to tell us how he was continuously pushing himself to take on new challenges at the property management company he worked for, and how he was able to raise the funds to acquire his properties. We'll also discuss his experiences raising money from crowdfunding companies, as well as Family Offices.

I know you're going to enjoy this conversation with Glenn and benefit from his wisdom. Glenn can be reached by email or through his website:
