Episode notes

Looking to escape the 9-to-5 grind and build true wealth? In this episode of the Jake & Gino Podcast, we sit down with Jens Nielsen, who immigrated from Denmark in 1996 and successfully transitioned from a 25+ year IT career to full-time real estate investing and high-performance coaching. Today, Jens is a direct owner or General Partner in over 2,000+ apartment units and 100,000+ square feet of industrial assets valued at over $250M. Discover how Jens started with a single $117,000 fourplex in Albuquerque, ran out of his own money, and used creative financing, joint ventures, and syndication to scale a massive commercial real estate portfolio. He also breaks down his recent pivot into industrial real estate, explaining the massive benefits of Triple Net (NNN) leases and small-bay flex spaces. As a Certified High Performance Coach, Jens also dives deep into the 5 pillars of success (Clarity, Energy, Courage, Productivity, and Influence) and shares how a near-fatal mountain bike crash completely shifted his perspective on taking immediate action in life.
