In this episode of No Vacancy, the crew sits down with Daniel Gates of Gates Realty, engineer, broker, and third-generation operator, to talk about what it really takes to build and sustain a family real estate business for over 70 years.

From humble beginnings in post-WWII New Jersey to developing a thriving portfolio of small-bay warehouses and self storage facilities, Dan shares how Gates Realty evolved from maritime construction into a stable, cash-flow-driven real estate operation.

The conversation dives into:

  • Why small-bay and multi-tenant assets outperform in uncertain markets
  • The importance of low leverage and long-term thinking
  • How to evaluate land, zoning, and deal feasibility
  • The growing opportunity in flex space and co-warehousing
  • And what it really means to “build homes for small businesses”

Plus, the guys keep it true to form with some laughs, a lightning round, and a few unexpected tangents (yes… wigs and karate boards included).
