What do you get when a former pro hockey player walks away from a \$100,000 deposit just to protect his investors?
You get Zane Schartz — founder of Freedom CRE, a real estate platform managing over $300 million in single-tenant, triple-net assets across the country.

* How he went from body checks to credit checks
* Walking away from deals that don’t feel right, even at personal cost
* Why he focuses 100% on investment-grade tenants like Starbucks and Verizon
* The truth about NNN lease structures (and why most people misunderstand them)
* His lean business model, rapid investor growth, and vision for tokenizing real-world real estate
Whether you're in multifamily, commercial, or just thinking about investing, this episode is packed with strategy, insight, and real talk from someone who’s doing it at scale.
