In this episode, Nico takes you inside the ugliest closing he's faced yet — a 13-unit deal in Lakeland, Florida that nearly fell apart multiple times. What looked simple on paper turned into a brutal capital raise, endless back-and-forth with lenders and title companies, and a closing process that stretched out over a week of chaos.

You'll hear the unfiltered truth about raising $220K that felt like pulling teeth, what it's like when your team can't deliver, and how even experienced operators get blindsided. This isn't the glossy "We Closed!" story you see on Instagram — this is the grind of real multifamily investing.

If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to survive in this business, this episode is your reality check.
