Ep. 50: She Parks Semi-Trucks for Passive Income, Here's How with Becky Plaza Peace

A college counselor and professor who moonlights as a semi-truck parking investor, land developer, and airport community dealmaker, Becky Plaza Peace is the definition of a compassionate capitalist. In this episode of From Corporate to Cash Flow, hosts Andrea Cannon and Liz Schwab sit down with Becky to unpack one of the most underrated, under-the-radar real estate niches you've probably never heard of: semi-truck parking facilities. Becky didn't start with a roadmap. She got into real estate when her husband was already investing, dove deep during COVID, discovered Bigger Pockets, found Pace Morby and Jamil Damji's community, and eventually had Pace point her out in front of 3,000 people at Squad Up Summit 2025 as the "self-storage go-to." That moment sent her down a rabbit hole that led her to semi-truck parking, and she hasn't looked back. In this episode, we discuss: - Semi-truck parking is a niche of self-storage with a low barrier to entry, you need flat land, gravel, fencing, lights, cameras, and bathroom facilities. - The ideal buy box: 10+ acres within 1 mile of a major highway or freeway. - California is a top semi-truck parking opportunity zone, a logistics hub with almost zero dedicated truck parking. - The 403(b) retirement account traps many educators, a self-directed IRA or solo 401(k) gives you far more investment flexibility. - "Compassionate capitalism" means building wealth in a way that also lifts others: Becky's mission is to help fellow educators get started in real estate. - The ADHD hack that Becky uses to balance a W2 and investing  Connect with Becky: https://www.instagram.com/BeckyPlazaPeace https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@beckyplazapeace⁩   Email: [email protected]  Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandreacannon  Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAndreaCannon
