In this episode of The REsimpli Podcast, Ian Horowitz, co-founder of Equity Warehouse, shares his transition from being a firefighter in Baltimore to becoming a successful real estate investor focused on multifamily and self-storage properties. Starting during the financial crisis, Ian and his partner built their portfolio by flipping houses and reinvesting profits, eventually moving into commercial real estate. He emphasizes the importance of taking calculated risks, learning by doing, and the critical role of broker relationships in finding deals.
Ian also highlights the challenges and benefits of commercial real estate, noting it requires more upfront work but can be less labor-intensive over time. He underscores the significance of having a strong "why" that drives his commitment to his team and family, balancing personal and professional life, and continuously striving for growth.
