In this episode of the Big Mike Fund Podcast, Mike Zlotnik sits down with Gabe Petersen, a former Microsoft project manager turned real estate mogul. Gabe is the founder of Kaizen Properties and the host of the top-ranked podcast, The Real Estate Investing Club.
With a portfolio of over 10 commercial properties—including mobile home parks, RV parks, and self-storage—Gabe reveals the systematic approach he used to exit corporate America and achieve true flexibility. We dive deep into his “off-market” acquisition secrets, his unique $500 dealer incentive marketing model, and why he views land-lease assets as the ultimate wealth-builder for 2026.
