About this podcast
The Nick Huber show is a short-form podcast on real estate, entrepreneurship and wealth.
You won't find a lot of long-form interviews or unorganized banter. My goal is to be short and to the point and deliver value as quickly as possible. We'll cover things like terminology, deal overviews, acquisitions, structuring deals, raising money, operations, hiring and more.
Nick Huber owns a real estate private equity company (http://boltstorage.com) in the self storage space. He owns 24 properties and over 630,000 rentable square feet in 4 states. He employees a team of 17 individuals and has raised over $10m in outside capital.
Follow along and become a better real estate investor. Show notes available at http://sweatystartup.com/
