Ken Gee is the Founder and Managing Member of KRI Partners, a real estate private equity and investor education firm. With more than 26 years of experience in real estate, banking, and private equity, Ken has been involved in transactions valued at over $2 billion—covering acquisitions, management, and financing of multifamily projects. Before launching KRI Partners, Ken was a CPA with Deloitte’s tax & M&A practice, serving some of the largest private equity and real estate firms in the country. Earlier in his career, he worked as a commercial lender at a regional bank in Cleveland (now PNC) and even operated certified Cessna Pilot Centers, training pilots for the Delta Connection program.

In this episode, Ken shares how he transitioned from CPA to multifamily investor, why multifamily is one of the most reliable asset classes, and the mindset shift that led him to leave corporate life behind. We also explore how to overcome the biggest barrier new investors face, the formulas Ken uses to evaluate deals, and how both active and passive investors can build long-term wealth through multifamily real estate.

• Who is Ken Gee, and how did his career path lead from CPA and commercial lending into multifamily real estate?

• What pivotal moment convinced Ken to leave Deloitte and pursue real estate full time?

• Why does Ken believe cash flow is king, especially for new investors?

• What’s Ken’s formula for evaluating multifamily deals and hitting return objectives?

• How do value-add strategies—like rent increases, storage, and garages—create exponential property appreciation?

• What holds most people back from buying their first multifamily property, and how can partnerships solve the “I don’t have the money” problem?

• How does Ken help both active investors (who want to run deals) and passive investors (who want hands-off income)?

• Why does vertical integration in property management give KRI Partners an edge in execution?

• What free resources does Ken provide to help investors learn and get started?
  
  

Ken’s journey from CPA to multifamily investor offers a blueprint for anyone looking to transition into real estate, whether you want to be hands-on with deals or simply invest passively for steady returns.
