About this listen

What do you do when your “safe” government job stops being safe?

For Ian Horowitz, the answer was clear: find a way out before the system eats you alive. After 15 years in the fire service, a broken ankle and a broken promise from his department pushed Ian to make the leap into real estate.

He started with one Section 8 rental. Then 100 more. Then… a single $5 million deal that unlocked everything.

In this episode, Ian shares the gritty, real-life story of how he built a storage empire—and what he’s doing now to stay free for life.

Ian also covers:

  • How he raised $1M in private capital (without asking for it)
  • The surprising truth about scaling from single family to commercial
  • His personal filter for what to sell vs. what to hold
