Author, Commercial Real Estate Syndicator
George Roberts is the author of “Passionate Living Through Passive Investing,” a book that highlights both his experience in diverse investments in private equity as well as his adventurous lifestyle. You name it, George has probably invested in it.
Before devoting himself to commercial real estate full-time, George worked as an award-winning data scientist and bioscientist with over 800 citations in the fields of genomics, microbiology, and physiology. After making his mark on three fields of bioscience, he turned his attention to the dashing world of entrepreneurship. George repurposed his analytical firepower to make housing economics, macroeconomics, and finance fun and exciting as “The Data Scientist of Real Estate” on his YouTube channel, where he brings the pizazz to the discussion of all-too-often dryly presented topics such as housing data and macroeconomics.
George is also the founder of Roberts Capital Enterprises, which sponsors value-add multifamily opportunities for qualified passive investors. In addition to owning over 550 units as an active multifamily investor, he is also an avid passive investor. His passive investments include over 600 multifamily units, carwashes, early-stage companies, as well as triple-net real estate.
George is the host of “Passionate Living Through Passive Investing”, an award-winning podcast devoted to growing wealth mindfully, but which is really a love letter to all who are unwilling to settle for a life that is anything less than the life they are capable of living. He also hosts the weekly “CRE Network at Noon Eastern” Zoom meetup for commercial real estate investors every Wednesday at noon Eastern. He is also a co-organizer of the Metro Detroit Commercial Real Estate Meetup.
