Hello everyone! My name is Keaton Schultz and I'm a young investor based out of Stevens Point, WI. I started investing in real estate pretty early because everyone I ran into kept saying "boy, I wish I would have started younger" so I really took that to heart. I bought my first rental property around my 18th birthday and also got my real estate license around then (all while going to college, trust me it was a little busy).
I kept busy buying properties while I was going to college (UWSP). Remodeling and repairing during the night and hunting for deals while I was in class. I managed to complete college in three years and really launch my business. When I graduated in 2018 I really hit the ground running. I started hiring people and was purchasing properties left and right. The famous joke in the office was when I told a PM (property manager) I bought a property they would ask "did you walk through it or was this another Keaton special?" I would have closings basically every Friday back to back normally. Looking back, I'm not sure how I kept up.
A few years ago I got into mobile home parks and ran hard with that. I always need to be busy so the "extra layers" that asset has is interesting to me and the value I can create is amazing.
I like to keep busy if you can't tell. I own all different types of real estate assets, a few laundromats, a few dry cleaners, and a payment processing company. I'm probably missing a thing or two but that's fine.
This year we hired a controller to help keep everything running smoothly. We have two operations managers who manage my two divisions: manufactured housing, and residential/multi-family. I manage all the commercial properties.
Real estate is so much fun. If someone was observing me all the time they would say I'm working all the time. However, I would say I'm having fun. When something is your passion, do you really ever work? Here is a CRAZY fun fact: I remember all the addresses of every property I own. Yup, I can recite them roughly by the order they were purchased.
If anyone has ANY questions or if I can be of any help don't hesitate. I love talking real estate and helping people. I would love to be a resource and would LOVE to be on a BP podcast! Ask any questions in the feed below.
Thanks,
Keaton
