Johnny Nelson started out as a contractor and a mechanical engineer before becoming an investor and fund manager. He was motivated to get into real estate after the death of his father. The experience made him realize that he wanted to be able to pay medical expenses for his family and friends, and he knew achieving financial freedom was the key to making that possible.  Today, Johnny is the principal at Arctos Capital, which focuses on multifamily assets. He is an apartment owner/operator and real estate fund manager. In this episode, Johnny discusses a recent deal where he struggled to raise funds, how that experience motivated him to focus on capital raising and become a fund manager, and what he would have done differently with that deal with the knowledge he has now.
