In this episode of The Nick Huber Show I sit down with Chris Powers of Fort Capital who specializes in industrial real estate in the Dallas Fort Worth area. 

 

Chris is a serial entrepreneur with more than 16 years of real estate development and investment experience. He founded Fort Capital in 2005, and to date, the company has invested over $584M in Class B industrial, commercial, multifamily, student housing, and residential/land development projects throughout the state of Texas.

 

Chris’s ability to conceptualize, raise capital, and execute are only a small part of what Chris brings to the table. With a belief that investing time in people is the best investment that can be made, Chris has built a strong network that has helped catapult the industry of private equity investing to where it is today. Graduating with a BBA in Finance & Marketing from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX, Chris is innovative, ethics-driven, people-focused, community-minded, and passionate about ideas that matter, and has the professional and personal philosophy: “Tell the truth and be nice to people.” Chris is a member of the Fort Worth YPO Chapter and lives in Fort Worth, TX with his wife, Mikal, and their daughters, Palmer and Connor.

As a mentor of mine, I have learned so much about what I do within the real estate private equity investing industry, and as we talk about the ways to do business, to raise money, and really the ways to become a successful real estate entrepreneur through simple real estate investment strategies, I hope you see the value this conversation has to offer.
