Clear Action Plan
To Reach Your Goals
The Real Estate Investing Club Coaching Program is built around five core pillars that form the foundation of every successful commercial real estate business. Each pillar is designed to take you from where you are today — whether that’s researching your first deal or managing multiple properties — to confidently sourcing, acquiring, funding, and optimizing income-producing assets.
These pillars aren’t theory. They’re the exact process Gabe uses at Kaizen Properties USA to find, fund, and manage multi-million-dollar investments in self-storage, mobile home parks, RV parks, and small industrial/flex properties across the country.
By mastering these five pillars, you’ll develop the skills, systems, and mindset to confidently build your commercial real estate business — from sourcing and closing your first deal to scaling a portfolio that supports the lifestyle you want.
The curriculum is real-world, practical, and personalized — tailored around your experience, market, and goals. You won’t just learn theory; you’ll be applying what you learn each week directly to your deals, with Gabe guiding you every step of the way.
Every successful investor has one thing in common: they know how to find great deals.
In this module, you’ll learn exactly how to build a deal-sourcing system that delivers qualified commercial opportunities week after week.
You’ll master:
Identifying the right markets based on growth, job trends, and affordability
Building and managing a broker network that sends you real opportunities — not just listings
Generating off-market leads through direct mail, cold calls, text campaigns, and owner outreach
Evaluating different asset types (storage, mobile home parks, RV parks, small industrial) to fit your strategy
Setting up an organized CRM and follow-up process that ensures no lead is ever lost
By the end of this phase, you’ll have a full pipeline of potential deals and a repeatable process to keep it full.
Finding deals is easy. Knowing which ones are worth pursuing is where most investors fall short.
In this section, we dive deep into commercial underwriting — the financial backbone of every investment decision.
You’ll learn:
How to read and interpret financial statements (T12s, rent rolls, P&Ls)
The key metrics every investor must know: NOI, cap rate, DSCR, cash-on-cash return, IRR
How to build a custom underwriting model in Excel or Google Sheets
Understanding stabilized vs. value-add deals and projecting future performance
How to stress-test deals for occupancy changes, rent fluctuations, and financing terms
Common underwriting mistakes that lead to overpaying — and how to avoid them
You’ll walk away with the ability to analyze any deal in minutes and know exactly what price makes sense for your investment goals.
Once you find a great deal, the next step is funding it. In this module, you’ll learn creative and traditional financing strategies to close deals even if you don’t have millions in the bank.
You’ll cover:
How to find and qualify lenders and loan products for commercial properties
Creative financing structures: seller financing, lease-options, JV partnerships, and syndications
Building your investor pitch deck and presenting opportunities confidently
Understanding private capital, hard money, and equity partnerships
Legal and structural fundamentals: LLCs, PPMs, operating agreements, and profit splits
Step-by-step deal funding process — from LOI to close
By the end, you’ll know how to confidently talk to lenders, raise private money, and creatively structure deals to close faster and stronger.
Buying a property is just the beginning. The real money is made in operations.
In this pillar, you’ll learn how to effectively manage and improve your commercial assets to maximize cash flow and long-term value.
You’ll master:
Onboarding a new acquisition and setting up management systems
How to hire and oversee property managers, contractors, and maintenance teams
Identifying and eliminating hidden expenses to boost NOI
Implementing value-add strategies: rent increases, revenue diversification, expense reduction
Tracking property performance through monthly financial reviews and KPIs
Navigating tenant relations, occupancy challenges, and operational issues
By applying these systems, you’ll transform your investments into reliable income-producing assets that grow in value every month.
Once you’ve mastered sourcing, underwriting, funding, and managing a few deals, it’s time to scale.
In the final pillar, you’ll build a long-term plan to multiply your success, automate your processes, and grow your portfolio strategically.
You’ll learn:
How to systematize your deal flow and operations using virtual assistants, CRMs, and automation tools
Building a team: analysts, asset managers, property managers, and operations partners
Developing your brand and investor credibility for easier capital raising
Exploring portfolio diversification (adding new asset types or markets)
Structuring exits, 1031 exchanges, and refinances for maximum ROI
Setting your five-year wealth plan and tracking your financial freedom metrics
This final phase positions you to move beyond being a small operator to becoming a professional, scalable investor with true financial independence.

Now that you have leads coming in, it’s time to dig into the numbers and structure deals that close. This combined stage teaches you how to underwrite commercial properties, determine value, and then move seamlessly into raising capital and securing financing.

What you’ll accomplish:
Underwriting & Analysis
Funding & Partnerships
Navigate the legal basics: LLCs, operating agreements, and PPMs
Outcome: You’ll know how to analyze a deal from top to bottom, structure it creatively, and secure the funds you need to close — whether from a bank, private investors, or your own network.
WEEKS 9-12
Once the deal is funded and under contract, it’s time to close confidently and onboard the asset for management. We’ll walk through real examples from Gabe’s portfolio to show you what happens between offer acceptance and the first day of ownership.

Master the due diligence checklist and uncover red flags early
Review purchase and sale agreements, estoppels, and title reports
Learn how to coordinate your lenders, brokers, attorneys, and title company

Prepare your property management and reporting systems
Outcome: You’ll know exactly how to move from accepted offer to closing table — and how to set your property up for immediate stability.
