From College Rental to 700+ Units: How Ryan Gray Built a Real Estate Empire in Just 7 Years
What happens when you take massive action, skip the fluff, and build powerful local relationships? You get Ryan Gray — a Wisconsin-based investor who scaled from a single college house to over 700 multifamily units and 15 group homes in just seven years.
In this episode, Ryan shares how he launched Stable Living, an assisted living company, while still attending UW-Eau Claire, and how attending one Wisco REIA meeting kickstarted his real estate journey. Within six months, he closed 10+ deals—no mentorship, no coaching, no script. Just hustle and implementation.
You’ll learn:
- How Ryan used creative seller financing to buy a $2M property with no money down
- Why community banks are his secret weapon for fast, flexible closings
- His unique approach to deal partnerships (he splits profits with people who bring him leads)
- How self-managing his entire portfolio gives him an edge on underwriting and scalability
- Why speed and simplicity beats over-planning every time
Now managing 100+ employees, Ryan continues to grow his portfolio while focusing on systematizing operations and finding the next big opportunity.
Whether you’re just starting or scaling, this conversation is packed with tactical advice, mindset gems, and proof that momentum beats perfection. Don’t miss this one — it might be the push you need to take action.
