Jenny Gou traded a successful corporate career for real estate, where she discovered limitless possibilities & achieved unprecedented growth. Now managing partner at Vertical Street Ventures (VSV), Jenny shares a story of balancing priorities, finding opportunities, and creating a thriving business that should inspire those seeking to make a career shift & achieve financial independence. For the video interview, visit: https://youtu.be/iz4V-IWIRPI From Corporate Success to Real Estate She began her journey at Procter & Gamble, where she spent 13 fulfilling years. A turning point came when her son asked if she could join a school field trip, and she had to decline. As family priorities grew stronger, Jenny & her husband decided to seek a better work-life balance. Recognizing the potential for a better lifestyle through real estate, they started with single-family rentals, but quickly realized that multifamily offered greater opportunities. In 2020, Jenny made the decision to leave her corporate career & dive into the world of multifamily real estate. Finding Mentors & Partners As she transitioned from corporate life, Jenny found a mentor who would become her partner at VSV. She approached him with a mindset of providing value & accelerating her learning. By assisting with property management & underwriting deals, Jenny gained invaluable hands-on experience. For those looking to make a similar transition, she emphasizes attending conferences & events to provide opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals, find partners with complementary skills & learn from experienced professionals. Creating a Multi-Faceted Real Estate Business VSV has evolved into three distinct businesses. The first is apartment syndication, focused on finding deals, raising capital, and managing properties. The second is a CPA firm that provides accounting services for real estate investors. This expansion was driven by the recognition that investors seek professional guidance to maximize tax savings & ensure financial compliance. Finally, VSV has a coaching business, the Multifamily Academy, where Jenny shares her expertise and guides aspiring syndicators on their path to financial independence. Capital Raising Today Jenny emphasizes the importance of knowing the sponsorship team and thoroughly evaluating the team leading the project; understanding their track record, communication practices, and investor experience. By conducting due diligence, capital raisers can confidently answer questions and provide the necessary reassurance to attract funding. Capital raisers should showcase the alignment between sponsors & investors, emphasizing sponsors' personal investments. This instills confidence & demonstrates a shared commitment to success. Those who prioritize these strategies can position themselves as trustworthy & knowledgeable partners, ultimately driving successful capital raising efforts. Key Takeaways: Work-life balance: Many people look to real estate as a career that allows prioritizing family & achieve better work-life balance. Seek mentors & partners: Find mentors and partners who can provide guidance, support, and opportunities for learning and growth. Diversify & expand: VSV evolved into a multi-faceted business by diversifying offerings to meet the needs of their investors.

Real estate professionals often refer to deals in terms of single family. This is because they have developed an expertise in this field and there's been a history of working independently. But when it comes to multifamily units, you'll find it's a completely different story. You're basically working as a team all the time! There are some incredible people out there who actually manage several hundred units by themselves, but for most of us, success will come from having a good team. For example, some folks might provide the equity while others might offer property management or find new deals or sign papers - there are lots of ways people can contribute and make a difference. My friends Ronnie and Jenny have perfected this, they've built a business together and managed their relationship at the same time! Watch the episode and find out how they created a successful company from scratch using both hard work as well as mutual respect for each other's goals - something I'm sure every “real estate power couples” would strive for!

Before she got into real estate, Jenny worked at Procter and Gamble as Sales Director. She wanted to diversify her retirement portfolio, so she started investing in single-family homes. After a while, they learned about multifamily and decided to shift to syndications. Jenny saw the potential and opportunities in real estate, so she left her corporate job to work full-time in this industry. Listen to Jenny share her experiences, and valuable lessons learned so far in her journey.

Start the education of what it looks like to be a syndicator.” [00:06:46]“I think the key here is focus. Because real estate is such a big broad industry. It could be pulled in 50 different directions like you mentioned, and that's very distracting. So, if you can focus even on the asset type, the market, down to, the two or three submarkets, even. That is going to only help you in the long run, because this is a people business, it's a relationship business. So, the better that you can build strong relationships in those focused areas, the easier it is for you to take down deals and grow your business.” [00:10:58]“I'm not perfect, by any means. I've definitely made a lot of mistakes. But the important thing is, you know, you have to learn and grow from them." [00:11:44]Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Je

From Cubicle to Corner Office: How Two Corporate Drones Found Their “Why” And Turned It Into Multifamily Gold. This week on The Executive Real Estate Investing Show, host Michael Holman talks with Jenny Gou and Steven Louie. They didn't hate their jobs. She was in sales at Proctor & Gamble, he was in customer relations and training for health insurance providers. The hours were long, and they almost never saw their families, but the money good. But a few personal tragedies and life changes put everything into perspective. They started wondering why they were doing what they were doing. Soon, they separately arrived at the same conclusion. If they truly wanted to spend time with their families, the corporate world was not for them. Real Estate was—and they dived in with single family properties. Steven hooked up with an investing mentor. Jenny eventually found a mentor, too: Steven! Together, they have formed Vertical Street Ventures, and in one year have racked up nearly $90mm in multi-family investments. Listen now as host Michael Holman gets the details about how they left their jobs behind, the types of investments they look for, and the importance of building relationships.
