In this engaging episode of the Dear Business Coach Podcast, host Elizabeth speaks with Scott Jacobson, a CPA and founder of Onward Equity, who shares his fascinating journey from traditional accounting to real estate investing. Jacobson's story begins with an inspiring mentor at Arthur Anderson who opened his eyes to the possibilities of real estate investment, leading him to purchase his first rental property in 2002. His evolution from managing individual properties to becoming involved in large-scale real estate syndications offers valuable insights for those interested in real estate investment. Particularly interesting is his explanation of how passive investors can participate in larger real estate deals without dealing with the day-to-day hassles of property management, while still enjoying similar returns.
The conversation takes a touching turn as Jacobson discusses the Sun Foundation, a nonprofit he and his wife founded in 2013. Inspired by his wife's best friend's battle with cancer, they established a home-away-from-home for adult cancer patients receiving treatment in Indianapolis. The foundation has provided over 9,000 nights of free lodging, filling a crucial gap in support services for adult cancer patients who often struggle with the financial burden of extended stays during treatment. Jacobson's commitment to both successful business ventures and meaningful charitable work demonstrates how entrepreneurial skills can be applied to create positive social impact, making this episode particularly inspiring for listeners interested in both business success and giving back to their communities.
