How He Became a Full-Time Real Estate Investor in 3.5 Years with Karl Krauskopf, Ep. 665


Listen Later

Karl Krauskopf is a seasoned real estate investor based in Seattle, Washington, known for his expertise in acquiring and renovating undervalued properties in high-growth markets. Beginning his career flipping houses, Karl transitioned to repositioning multifamily properties in late 2021, leveraging private capital to scale his portfolio. His focus on providing high-quality housing for both high-income earners and family-oriented tenants has resulted in exceptional performance, with less than 0.5% of past-due rent across his portfolio.

With an MBA from Palm Beach Atlantic University, Karl brings a strategic mindset shaped by his decade-long leadership in business development for a $100M healthcare services company. An endurance athlete, he has completed ultramarathons and climbed iconic peaks like Mt. Rainier.

In this episode, we talked to Karl about his portfolio and the art of managing it, how to adapt to changes in the real estate market, advice for newcomers in multifamily real estate syndication, and much more.
