Chad Zdenek is a CEO, GP, and TV host with an impressive background, having earned three master's degrees and worked in construction management and structural engineering. He also co-hosted and hosted several TV shows, including "Inside Mighty Machines" on the Smithsonian Channel and National Geographic. Chad's interest in real estate began when he and his brother grew their lighting business to 75 employees and three warehouses in Los Angeles. However, he found running a business to be a ton of work, and he wanted to create passive income, leading him to real estate investment.

Chad's first syndication deal was a solo GP investment in a ten-unit apartment building in Long Beach, which he raised $1.2 million for. He invests mainly in California and Florida, with his focus on multifamily and self-storage properties. Chad also invests in LPs and emphasizes the tax advantages and leverage of real estate.

Chad believes that the key to success in real estate investment is a combination of skill and attitude, with attitude being more important. He stresses the importance of resilience and taking action, even when things do not go as planned. Chad is also a believer in building long-term relationships with investors, which requires transparency and trust.

Chad is currently a GP with over $150 million under management, including his latest projects: the Clearwater and St. Petersburg multi-family properties. He is passionate about giving back and is involved in several charities, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Surfrider Foundation. Overall, Chad's diverse background, experience, and positive attitude make him a unique and inspiring figure in the world of real estate investment.
