From CPA to Capital Creator: Ken Gee on Entrepreneurship, Investing, and Independence

Join me as I sit down with Ken Gee, founder and managing member of KRI Partners, a commercial lender-turned-CPA-turned-real estate investor who has facilitated more than $2 billion in multifamily transactions. Raised in Toledo, Ohio, Ken began his career at a regional bank in Cleveland, then went on to join Deloitte in their tax & M&A practice — where he served major private-equity and real-estate clients. From there, he pivoted into real estate investing, bought his first apartment building for $575K in Cleveland, and transitioned full-time into real estate and investor education. Based in Ohio, Ken blends his experience across finance, real estate, and coaching with a mission to help everyday investors build generational wealth and reclaim their time.

Ken and I discuss:

His early career path: from commercial lending to CPA at Deloitte to real estate investor
The moment he realized earning a big W-2 salary didn’t replace time with family
How he bought his first 28-unit apartment building while still at Deloitte
Building a multifamily portfolio: acquiring, managing, and exiting properties
His four rules for investing with a sponsor (experience, track record, transparency, investor-first alignment)
The pros & cons of thriving operators vs emerging sponsors — how terms vary and why it matters
The importance of patience, discipline, and avoiding FOMO in real estate investing
Reinvesting in yourself and when to shift focus from active income to long-term assets
The subtle but powerful wealth strategy: let properties mature, refinance them, and build equity while cash-flow rolls in
Real talk on market cycles, risk mitigation, reserves, and structure in deal underwriting
How Ken’s company helps two kinds of investors: active deal-makers who want to learn, and professionals who prefer passive investment but still want to understand the business
His advice for folks earning $100K-$200K: knowing when to invest in yourself vs deploying capital into real estate
How to stack assets, spread risk across sponsors and deals, and build cash-flowing appreciation for decades
