Hidden Advantage Behind Growing While Others Are Afraid ft. Keith Wasserman

Hidden Advantage Behind Growing While Others Are Afraid ft. Keith Wasserman

Author: Joe Fairless August 31, 2026 Duration: 50:56
Richard McGirr talks with Keith about scaling teams, paying for top-tier talent, and tightening internal controls so the business stays lean but not blind. He explains why self-storage has worked for him, why mobile home parks were attractive but hard to scale, and how his firm approaches 1031 exchange money, tenant-in-common structures, and investor communication in a tougher fundraising environment. This episode matters because the old playbook no longer works. In a market where the gap between winners and losers keeps widening, operators who understand capital, patience, and asset quality have a major edge. Keith’s perspective is especially valuable if you are navigating a downturn, sitting on dry powder, or trying to decide whether to hold, sell, or move up in quality.
