Casey Gregersen, Big Horn Capital, explains why real estate is the next big opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors.
Casey is a serial entrepreneur in multiple industries as well as a former Petroleum Engineer for Shell. Driving strategy and performance across the Gregersen Corporate Group is where most of his efforts are stationed as he develops team leaders in each company. As he leads the sales team, he is also responsible for developing the best solutions for property sellers and investors in each market.
Casey’s vision remains the driving force behind the productivity in each team across the corporate group. Casey is also a husband, father of 4 boys, visionary, serial-entrepreneur, and professional real estate investor. His passion is to help others reach their financial freedom through passive income in real estate.
Over the past decade, he’s invested in hundreds of deals. From wholesaling, fix and flipping, buy and hold, he’s built business around each process of investing. His teams are able to acquire properties, fix them up, and get them sold in each of the markets he’s operating in.
Other topics covered by Casey in the interview:
Oil/gas professionals can leverage W-2 income to build real estate portfolios for passive income and financial security
Resilient markets in oil/gas regions that held up during downturns present strong investment opportunities if industry activity increases
Real estate investing options range from active (fix & flip) to passive (turnkey rentals, funds) to suit different time/knowledge levels
Casey aims to help 100 oil/gas families achieve passive income goals through real estate to reduce reliance on volatile industry
“In 2016, thanks to the inspiration of my wife, we bought our first franchise, a Pure Barre studio in the middle of West Texas. As of today, we’ve now bought and sold 7 different franchises spanning from Texas to California,” Gregersen said. “This has proven to be an MBA degree on steroids and taken me from being a passive real estate investor to launching a fully integrated real estate team with multiple departments and a sophisticated sales and marketing system.”
Casey added through these Pure Barre franchises, they learned the critical skills required to understand how to build a business from the ground up and turn around distressed businesses on the brink of shutting down.
“Other critical entrepreneur skills were applied, including managing cash flow, managing and inspiring part and full-time employees, and maintaining an efficient organization with multiple levels of supervision,” Gregersen said. “Arguably the most critical skill that I learned and refined was understanding how to use Sales and Marketing to maximize profits.”
Other Lessons from Franchise Experience

Example: Evanston, WY seeing job growth from new nuclear plant and trona mines

Options for both active and passive investing to suit different preferences
Provides financial security if faced with layoffs or desire to leave industry

The prequel series Dexter®: Original Sin stars Patrick Gibson as America’s favorite serial killer. Set in 1991 Miami, the show follows Dexter as he transitions from student to avenging murderer.
