    Episode 198: A Tribute to Paul Kerley

    🎙️ Welcome to the Deal Junkies Podcast – the ultimate resource for real estate investors. Hosted by four experienced investors who’ve closed over $500 million in transactions, this podcast is packed with strategies and stories to help listeners build wealth and scale their portfolios. Our main goal with this podcast is simple, turn you into a Deal Junkie, too. If you’re ready to invest alongside our team or want to learn how we build and scale deals, click here: https://stackassetgroup.com/contact This episode is different. It’s not about a deal, a market update, or a strategy breakdown. It’s about honoring a man who shaped an entire real estate community. Paul Kerley was a real estate entrepreneur, mentor, and pillar of the Salem market. As the owner and president of Commercial Property Resources, he built and managed more than 1,400 residential units across Oregon and Illinois and led a team of over 100 employees. Over decades, he steadily grew a portfolio that at one point represented more than $70 million in property, focusing primarily on B- and C-class assets that served middle- and working-class families. Paul’s background was as strong as his reputation. With a degree in economics, a law degree from Willamette University, years as a practicing real estate attorney, and major brokerage transactions under his belt, including a $34 million shopping center sale, he combined intelligence, discipline, and long-term thinking in everything he did. But beyond the numbers and accomplishments, Paul was a long-time friend and mentor to Gabe and a pivotal influence in the Salem real estate community. His leadership, wisdom, and character left a lasting mark on those who had the privilege of knowing him.

    Episode 195: Let’s Talk About Taxes

In this episode, the Junkies reluctantly dive into taxes, the parts that surprise people, the mistakes we’ve seen, and why ignoring them usually costs more than dealing with them head-on. This is not tax advice and not a technical breakdown. It’s a real conversation about how taxes show up in deals, why they change how you think about growth, and why understanding them even a little makes you a better investor. It’s not the most fun topic, but it’s one you can’t afford to skip.

We talk about how they built while balancing careers, what actually moved the needle early on, and the similarities between how both teams think about investing, execution, and helping people take action. There’s a lot of alignment between the two groups, which made this conversation easy, honest, and fun.
