"The LPs traditionally are going to have the lion's share of that equity stack and if you don't have a good handle on those LP's, you can run into some hot water and not be able to raise your money." - Chad Zednek
Today I am interviewing Chad Zdenek. He is the CEO of CSQ Properties, which functions as an acquisition and reposition management company of multi-family and self storage real estate. They hold 750 multi-family units and 3,000 self storage units in California and other parts of the US. He has presented at my ITI Meeting as well as been a previous guest on the show.
Chad Zdenek: Had a career in construction and civil engineering, obtaining a license for both . He worked at Boeing for 7 years as a structural dynamics engineer before going into business with his brother which they ran successfully for a few years before Chad was bought out. After, he went into real estate full time and established CSQ Properties as well as grew a $150 million general partner portfolio.
