The 2008 Crash Almost Ended Him. Here's What He Does Differently Now | Ken Gee
Ken Gee brings 26 years of real estate banking and private equity experience to one of the most insightful conversations we've had on The Disruptive Capitalists. Ken shares his journey from commercial lender to private equity investor, the lessons that saved him during the 2008 financial crisis, and why fixed-rate debt and disciplined strategy are the only things standing between you and disaster in this market.
Ken and Sam break down current conditions in Florida where they're acquiring high-quality assets at favorable prices, while addressing the temporary headwinds hitting C-class properties due to immigration fears. They also get real about the emotional toll of real estate losses, why newcomers need mentorship over capital, and how AI and innovative technology are becoming essential for raising capital in today's environment.
In this episode, you'll hear:
→ The 2008 lesson every investor needs to learn before the next downturn
→ Why 2021 acquisitions are still performing in a high-rate environment
→ Current strategy for acquiring assets in Florida
→ Why C-class property occupancy dips are temporary
→ Mentorship and partnership advice for commercial real estate newcomers
→ How AI is changing capital raising and government assistance access
