If you've ever felt like real estate was pulling you away from the life you're trying to build, this episode is for you.I'm sharing a recent conversation I had on the Stay Paid podcast, where I walked through how I built my business by keeping faith, family, and alignment at the center. In this interview, I unpack what it really means to define your own scoreboard for success, why “balance” is ultimately about priorities, and how mastering one simple system — my Rule of 8 and the PDA Formula — helped me sell 650 homes without losing what mattered most.Register for my FREE Zoom training: Cut the Chaos, Keep the Closings: A 2026 Lead Gen Workshop here - https://www.garrettmaroon.com/plan

From professional wakeboarder to CEO managing $250M+ in commercial real estate investments, Nick Jones shares proven strategies for building successful real estate businesses through strategic partnerships, effective capital raising, and protecting investor interests. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Nick Jones, CEO of Alakai Capital, who has underwritten and acquired over 70 commercial investments and developments representing more than $250 million in value. Nick currently oversees 800,000+ square feet of industrial, retail, office, and medical assets across multiple states. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how to raise outside capital for your first commercial real estate deal while protecting downside risk, why syndication can work better than funds when you can close deals quickly with trusted investors, and the surprising truth about "off-market" deals versus listed properties in today's transparent market. Nick shares how to build broker relationships that generate consistent deal flow without constantly hunting for opportunities, due diligence strategies when high-credit tenants won't share financial information, and why Covid flipped conventional wisdom about credit tenants versus mom and pop operators. You'll also learn about the strategic value of balancing consistent real estate returns with selective angel investments, how to navigate market trends including drive-through retail and efficiency-focused opportunities, and what freedom means beyond just financial independence. NICK'S JOURNEY: Nick's path wasn't linear. Growing up near Microsoft and Nintendo in Redmond, Washington, he found real estate "incredibly boring" until witnessing how it connected to fascinating industries. After his father and grandfather passed away during his senior year of high school, Nick moved to Florida to pursue professional wakeboarding, eventually earning a podium finish at the World Championships in 2011 while graduating summa cum laude from the University of Central Florida. The dean of UCF's real estate program, whose son was also a professional athlete, reignited Nick's interest in commercial real estate investment and development. Nick started in land brokerage during 2011-2012 when Florida land was worth less than the buildings next to it, learning through challenging cold calls to developers. FIRST DEAL LESSONS: Nick's entry into investing came through a vacant Taco Bell property. Working with a broker partner, they secured the building, signed a 10-year lease with a new tenant, and only had to replace the HVAC and roof. The timing proved fortunate - securing 80% loan to value at 2% interest on an interest-only basis during the post-financial crisis recovery. That first deal taught valuable lessons about protecting downside risk and building tenant relationships while delivering one of his strongest returns ever. CAPITAL RAISING EVOLUTION: For his first capital raise, Nick bought an old bank branch all cash with plans to tear it down and build a quick service restaurant. To protect downside risk as a new sponsor, he structured it with no debt and two years of interest and tax reserves. After approaching friends' parents, fellow brokers, and creating a detailed investment memorandum, a tenant approached wanting to lease the existing building as-is with a 10-year lease. Nick refinanced at 50% LTV, pulled equity out, and used those proceeds to buy a second deal. That snowball effect has grown to approximately 100 investors making about 500 investments with his company. KEY INSIGHTS: Nick continues syndicating individual deals instead of raising funds because his deals follow similar patterns with consistent return theses. This approach gives investors freedom to select which markets and property types align with their preferences while maintaining speed to close. Managing investor capital creates heightened responsibility that sharpens every aspect of deal execution. Nick approaches it similarly to personally guaranteeing loans - while losing your own capital is unfortunate, losing someone else's carries profound implications for relationships and reputation. The biggest lesson from deals that didn't go as planned: contracts matter, but people matter just as much. When tenants respond unusually quickly to lease documents without redlines for 10-15 year commitments, it raises red flags. During Covid, high-credit tenants had attorneys advising them to stop paying rent while small bay industrial mom and pop tenants maintained perfect payment records. BROKER RELATIONSHIPS: The majority of Nick's deals come through brokers he's built long-term relationships with over years. These relationships prove valuable because brokers trust Nick will maintain confidentiality, move quickly through underwriting, and they understand his investment criteria. After years of exchanging deals and feedback, brokers know which opportunities match his thesis. MARKET TRENDS: Interest rate movements create near-term positivity while inflation continues hitting sectors unevenly, creating inefficiencies and opportunities. The retail apocalypse predictions following Covid haven't materialized because people still crave experiences. Drive-throughs represent a clear trend as efficiency becomes paramount - almost every concept has figured out how to use them successfully, including Chipotle proving the model works for food types that seemed ill-suited initially. Perfect for real estate investors considering raising outside capital, operators building broker networks, and anyone interested in how successful commercial real estate investors structure deals and protect investor capital.FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE: https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/nickjones FOR MORE ON NICK JONES:https://www.alakai-capital.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/alakaicapital/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjonesrealestate/https://www.instagram.com/alakaicapital/ FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFERhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

Eric Thompson is joined by husband-and-wife Ninjas Jeremy and Shannon Johnson, retired Air Force veterans turned real estate professionals, to explore how this dynamic duo built a purpose-driven business rooted in discipline, structure, and service. From military precision to Ninja mastery, the Johnsons have created a thriving business in Hampton Roads, Virginia, closing 44 transactions in 2024 while maintaining balance, harmony, and joy in their personal lives. This conversation delves into what it takes to run a business intentionally as a couple, rather than by accident or exhaustion. Jeremy and Shannon share how a license plate at a stoplight sparked their real estate journey, how they learned to "run the business instead of letting it run them," and how the Ninja Selling System gave them the framework to thrive after the military. They unpack the daily habits, time-blocking strategies, and communication techniques that enable them to operate as true partners, both in life and in business. From mastering Real Estate Reviews to achieving 50 Live Interviews each week, the Johnsons prove that success doesn't require burnout; rather, it requires structure, clarity, and coaching. Their story is a real-world masterclass on productivity, partnership, and the power of purpose. Episode Highlights The spark that started it all A chance encounter with a real estate license plate launched their journey from military life to real estate. Within six years, they went from three transactions in their first year to 44 and counting. From military discipline to Ninja structure Their Air Force background shaped their systems, mindset, and morning routine. Up at 4:30 a.m., gratitude and affirmations by 5:00, gym by 7:00; their structure creates freedom and balance. Real Estate Reviews that drive real results Overcoming "analysis paralysis," Shannon implemented a simple yet powerful review process that yielded immediate results: three listings from their very first review and seven transactions this year, all directly attributed to reviews. Fifty Live Interviews simplified The Johnsons turned what feels daunting into a daily rhythm. By planning their calls every Friday in the Ninja Planner and counting genuine conversations — not just phone calls — they consistently hit their 50 Live goal every week. Coaching that changes everything Working with Ninja Coach Shelly Culbertson, they discovered the value of having a "third partner" who brings balance, perspective, and accountability. "She's our mediator, encourager, and guide," says Shannon. Running the business, not letting it run you With clear boundaries, family dinners, and weekends by appointment only, they've achieved the Ninja vision of higher income per hour — proof that structure and intentionality lead to harmony. Key Takeaways The Ninja System works if you commit to working it. Coaching isn't homework…it's elevation! Real Estate Reviews aren't sales tools; they're relationship builders. Partnership thrives when each person leans into their natural strengths. Discipline creates freedom. Structure your mornings, and your business will follow. Memorable Quotes "If it wasn't for that license plate, I don't know that we'd be in real estate today." - Shannon Johnson "The system absolutely works. It allows you to have the life you want, not just the business you want." - Jeremy Johnson "It's not wrong, it's just different. That's true in marriage and in business." - Shannon Johnson "Is the business running you, or are you running the business?" - Marshall Tony, Mentor "The coach doesn't give you homework; they elevate your business." - Jeremy Johnson Links: Website: https://ninjaselling.com/ninja-podcast/ Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com  Phone: 1-800-254-1650  Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/TheNinjaSellingPodcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninjasellingofficial/# LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling  Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public  Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/ Jeremy and Shannon Johnson: https://journeyhomerealtyllc.exprealty.com/index.php

                                            Listen in as Erin and Gaby discuss: Gaby's transition from 15 years in corporate media to becoming a top-producing real estate agent in Austin. How she and her husband navigated working together in business and marriage — learning to balance strengths, delegate, and grow as a team. The role of honesty and authenticity in marketing — why showing up as yourself (accents, ballcaps, lake life, and all) attracts the right clients. The power of video and podcasting for personal brand building and filtering in the right clients while filtering out the wrong ones. Gaby's insights on investing, making mistakes, and using those lessons to guide and inspire clients … and much more                                       About Gaby has been involved in Austin's real estate since 2002 with the purchase of her first home and first renovation. Since then, Gaby has bought and sold many properties (for herself and for her clients). Through her personal transactions alone, Gaby has experienced more than your average professional agent. She has invested in Single Family home rentals, condos, short-term rentals (Airbnb), renovated homes, flipped properties, owner-financed properties, invested through Self Directed IRA - nothing frightens her in the real estate investment world. Prior to joining her husband to create The Proctor Team, Gaby had a very successful career at one of the biggest local media stations in Austin. Starting as a part-time promotions support staff, she made her way up to Promotions Director before taking the leap over to the sales team. Once there, Gaby made quick connections and, through pure hard work and dedication to her clients, she built a very strong clientele and became the Top Producing Account Executive within her 2nd year. That is a position that Gaby not only never gave up, but dominated for the next 6 years as she became one of the most well-known, loved, and respected sales reps in the industry. Once she felt she had peaked in that business, and watched her husband shine in the other industry she has such a passion for, she jumped over to Realty Austin and helped The Proctor Team achieve the Diamond Club ($10+ Million producers) with Realty Austin every year since she joined. Gaby strives to make herself available to her clients, even as a busy mom of 3.
