How do you go from signing every check to leading a real estate powerhouse?
In this episode of Between 2 Hats, we sit down with Richard Ross, CEO of Quinn Residences, to unpack what it really takes to build and scale a company in the SFR (Single-Family Rental) space. From CPA to public company boardrooms to launching Quinn from the ground up, Richard’s 40-year journey is the blueprint for bold leadership, smart risk, and legacy-building in real estate.
We get into:
🔥 Why your job title doesn’t define your ceiling — and when it’s time to lead
🔥 What it’s like to be employee No. 1 and build a company from scratch
🔥 The future of SFR — and why we’re just in the first inning
🔥 The hard shift from operator to visionary CEO
🔥 Why real wealth isn’t built billing hours — and what it takes instead
🔥 The mindset moves that separate professionals from players in this game
With leadership experience across multiple NYSE-listed REITs and decades of operational and financial discipline, Richard drops a masterclass on scaling smart, hiring right, and thinking bigger in a competitive market.
If you’re in real estate, leadership, private equity, or just grinding to build something that lasts — this one’s for you.
