Description

How does someone go from being a school teacher and police officer to running one of the West Coast’s largest property management firms and the largest cannabis producer in the world?


In this episode of No Vacancy with Taylor Avakian, guest Kyle Kazan walks through his remarkable journey. From buying distressed properties in Compton to launching Beachfront Property Management and eventually co-founding Glass House Brands, Kyle shares battle-tested lessons on:

- Buying during recessions & repositioning C-class assets

- Transitioning from teaching to law enforcement to real estate

- Bootstrapping his first property management company

- Leading the charge on cannabis legalization in California

- Building a business culture that actually retains great talent


It’s a masterclass in grit, vision, and execution — from a guy who truly built it all from scratch.
