Nick’s Real Estate Masterclass

A deep dive into real estate. How deals are measured, structured, financed and operated. The risk factors, how to gain a competitive advantage, and more.

Why this course exists

This is what I wish I knew about real estate when I was 25 years old with some cash in my pocket, about to do my first deal. This is what I’ve learned over the past several years of being a real estate professional building a portfolio of $150MM worth of self storage assets we own and operate.
This is what real estate entrepreneurs teach their children around the dinner table. These are the concepts I will work to instill in my children so they can enter the field and succeed.
The Real Estate Masterclass is the very best of 400+ hours of concentrated work, over 90,000 words, dozens of deal breakdowns, videos, quizzes, and more. If you ever wanted an honest, in-depth look at real estate as a career or investment option, I promise you won’t find a more complete course than this one.

I promise even experienced real estate investors will get nuggets of wisdom and learn something new. It is more practical and valuable than any college real estate course.

Who I made the Masterclass for…

I’ll be clear → anyone can benefit from these lessons. Everything in this course will help you become more informed, prepared, and confident to start or scale your real estate career. But there are 4 types of people it can help most…

1. Beginners ready to turn Pro

You’ve done your research. You’ve been devouring information online. You’re starting to make connections in the real estate world. You’re asking the right questions. You can see your future in real estate — you just want to make sure you’re on the right path. Well, you’ve come to the right place! I made this course to share a clear and highly detailed picture of how to build a career in real estate — with real-life examples. I’ll give you an unfiltered look at what I did and how I did it — what works, and what doesn’t.

2. People with resources who want to use them wisely

These are people who are ready to make real estate a part of their future, but they’re not sure which way to go. They want to look at it from 1000 feet above and analyze asset classes. They are able to pick and choose their path as they either buy real estate on their own or invest.

3. Passive Investors who want to invest with confidence

These are people who earn enough money that they are looking to passively invest. They can’t move their focus away from the main money-maker, but they want to learn how to invest in real estate through sponsors. They want to partner with operators who are doing deals, analyze the deal with confidence, figure out what questions to ask, figure out where the risk is, and understand how all this works.

4. Investors and Operators who want to level up

The most important group, the one I am most aligned with and is exactly who I am. You are the person ready to buy an asset, or you own property or are ready to make real estate a big part of your work and wealth. You are ready to level up and raise outside capital, build a management company, a real estate private equity firm, and expand to make real estate a tremendous part of your life and career.

What this course is not

This is not a way to get started in real estate today with no money. It is not a way to get rich quick in real estate. It’s not a way to go from 0 to 1 and create new wealth through real estate.
This is not a guide on operating specific asset classes of real estate. This is not a complete, in-depth guide on any one aspect of real estate.
While it provides the frameworks, this is not a guide on putting together your first deal with other people’s money and jumping in head first.

 Real Estate Masterclass doesn’t have to be a country club

Real estate is so much a country club, really a “who’s who” business that if you’re not born into it, there are very few ways to understand it. The people who are in this business don’t just go out and share a lot. I have an abundance mindset and believe the more I help people, the more will come back to me. The more people I meet the more my life can benefit.
You look at real estate in America, most of the big real estate families, this is in their blood, they learn this stuff around the kitchen table. They follow it around with their parents and their trucks to these properties. They were on this trajectory of real estate very early.
I was not from one of those families. I started service business and made some money. Then I needed to find something to do with that money. So I spent a ton of time learning all this on my own. I didn’t know the language that I needed to speak. When I talked to bankers I didn’t know the terms that I needed to be aware of. When I discussed my properties with outside investors I didn’t know how to mitigate and manage the risk.
If you don’t have family members or you’re not in the inside club of people who know the ins and outs of Real Estate and have done it for their careers, it’s not very approachable. This masterclass is built for a person without those resources as a way for somebody on the “outside” to make real estate a viable career and investment.
