Fuquan Bilal shares how he scaled NNG Capital Fund, raised $50M, and built systems, teams, and mindset to create freedom through real estate investing.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Fuquan Bilal, founder of NNG Capital Fund, to discuss how he built a $50M+ portfolio through multifamily, affordable housing, and luxury new construction—powered by systems, people, and purpose.

Fuquan explains how he started from nothing, burned his bridges to corporate life, and learned the hard way how to scale sustainably. He shares his experience implementing EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), raising capital through transparency, and developing affordable housing in the Southeast while building luxury spec homes in New Jersey.
