In this episode of Groundbreakers, Zach Bagby and Courtney Erickson, co-founders of ZB3 Real Estate, share how they’ve built a $5M+ real estate portfolio across Colorado and the Midwest—all while working full-time in tech.
Zach works at Medley. Courtney is at Visa. And together, they’re scaling ZB3 through careful underwriting, creative deal structuring, and a long-term thesis that embraces market volatility. From buying back a property they sold to navigating a tenant situation that made the local news, they’ve learned by doing—and built a system that balances career, capital, and cash flow.
