Fuquan Bilal
My son said to me, why are we doing this? Why? Because I was trying to get them involved, taking them to Home Depot, getting supplies. And he was like, why? Why are we doing this? You're at a point now where the contractor should be doing this. And it was just, I was just trying to get things done by all means necessary. But you go through these different stages in the business where you have systems and processes where you don't have to do that. And that was the challenge that I had to overcome in the beginning. I lacked having a lot of systems and processes in place, which caused me to run around crazy.
Mike Swenson

But we all know it starts with taking action and so action is the key to being able to do that. That being said, super excited about today's episode. We've got Fuquan Bilal on. He is a trailblazing entrepreneur with 25 years of real estate experience. CEO and founder of NNG Capital Fund. Focusing on creative strategies, value add projects and community driven impact in a couple of different states, New Jersey, Georgia, Alabama. A mix of spec homes and B and C class properties and multifamily as well as, you know, potentially some other stuff that I'm not aware of. But Faquan, we're so excited to have you on the show.
Fuquan Bilal
Welcome for having me. I really appreciate you. I love, this is like therapy for me. I love talking real estate.
Mike Swenson
Well, we're excited to be able to hear more about your journey and your story. So yeah, why don't you just start kind of give us, give us a background, kind of why real estate to begin with and kind of how did you get started in real estate.
Fuquan Bilal
So I mean when you, when you first look at it, we all think that it's time. Freedom, right? Is the reason why it's usually money or people say time. But what I came to realize that, you know, and this is what any business, not just real estate is. Once you become a owner of a business, you, you, you spend more hours, 70, 80 hours a week developing and building a business versus a 40 hour week. And people don't realize that, but what it does, it gives you flexibility is what I like to use, right? I've come through this 26 year journey and it was my youngest son who said to me, hey, I thought real estate give you freedom and time and let you do what you want to do when you want to do it. I say, yeah, it's more like flexibility because I find myself, because it's my business, I love what I do. So it's not work, but I put in more hours. So for those of you who are looking to get started, just, just be mindful of that. You can make it a lifestyle business. Like I know some people who do, you know, two big flips a year, they make a quarter million dollars a year, they travel with their family, they happy, you know, they're not trying to do 100 deals a year. I'm in a mastermind called the collective genius. And there's people that's in that group are different parts of their journey. There's some guys doing 300 deals a year, some guys doing 150, some guys doing 10. But real estate is a lifestyle business. It does give you the flexibility. So for me, transitioning from the corporate world into real estate, I've always liked sales and it just made more sense if I was going to put all of my effort and energy into something I wanted it to be for something that I was building. And that's what got me into real estate. And then, you know, I was young, got in the business when I was 24, so making $40,000 a transaction, half the salary I was making at the time. It was a no brainer really to, to take the leap.
Mike Swenson
You know, I know for me, getting started before I got into, you know, my own business, it's like, you know, nights and weekends, it's kind of like I had this little tick around where I was, you know, if, if my boss asked me to work nights or weekends, it was like, well, you know, how are we gon up this time? What are we gonna do? Do I get some time off if I'm working on the weekend? What does that look like? And then all sudden when you're building your own business, you're much more willing to do that. Obviously there's a trap of, you know, not wanting to get sucked in it or do too much or make sure that your family or other commitments aren't compromised. But yeah, you're certainly more willing to do things like that when it's your own business for sure.
Fuquan Bilal
And there's nothing wrong with that. Right. Because we're, we're, we're doing this for the future us. Right. So when we get to an age that, you know, we want to fall back, we put in the work now for that to be possible in the future.
Mike Swenson
So talk a little bit about kind of what, what your early days look like in terms of real estate and how that's changed and developed over time.
Fuquan Bilal
It was mainly fix and flips where I started. So I started off doing that and had the opportunity to ride that wave until the gfc, the global financial crisis. And, you know, once that happened, it transitioned my mindset from focusing on the big chunks of cash to building cash flow. And it took me a while to develop that over years, you know, build up those properties where they appreciate and you get. Not just break even on some, but you make a couple of hundred bucks. And after 10, 15 years, you see this, you know, big appreciation where you can exit. Started to transition to that strategy. It's a slow process. So one thing I always remember is slow is smooth and smooth is fast. So if you're looking to get started, you know, just look at, if you can acquire one property a year and you do that for 10 years, and if that one property can make you 3, 400 bucks a month in 10 years, of course you have a bunch of equity that you can refinance and pull out, but you have, you know, four or five thousand dollars a month in cash flow that can offset some of the earned income you make. And to kind of get you to that point where you can sell off some of those properties and get a big bulk of cash or just continue to collect the cash flow.
Mike Swenson
So were you when you were doing fix and flips, were you working a job as well, or was all your income coming from your fix and flips?
Fuquan Bilal
I actually left my job, so a family member of mine was doing real estate, and I started to shadow them while I was working. And I had a really good job. I was making over a hundred thousand a year with commission, base commission and salary. And what made my transition go a little bit faster was I landed a big account and the owners of the company set me down. They lowered my base because my commission was more than what they expected because the account I landed and I didn't take that too well, and I just put my two week notice in, I had already closed the deal and I just started doing, you know, picks and flips and pretty much going from there. And that's pretty much how my journey got started. But I just, I just jumped out the window and grew wings falling down as they say.
Mike Swenson
Well, and I think that's the key, like we talk about, you know, I mentioned at the beginning, taking action, you're going to be much further faster when you start to take action versus the analysis paralysis. So in terms of your fix and flips, like how did you start? I'm curious to hear because obviously people feel like they have to have this super sophisticated process right now. But curious to hear like when you were finding your first few deals, how are you finding them? Where were they located? Kind of what were you looking for? And how did that evolve over time as, as you got more sophisticated as a flipper?
Fuquan Bilal
Yeah, I mean it's, it's really learn by doing. You know, that's how you're going to learn faster is by taking action, like you mentioned earlier, and doing it, you're going to go through, you know, the failure, the growth and everything else. So but you, you have to do it, you have to take action if you really want to do it. And, and that can just be from just getting education. Right? Making a commitment to watch webinars, to go to your local RIA groups, connect with people, take lunch, treat investors to lunch, extract information from them, shadow them, like just doing all of that. Right. You can work your job and slowly learn. Like I go to a lot of local RIAs that I speak at and try to get back value and I see a lot of people who still have their 9 to 5 show up at night. They put in those extra hours like after 5 o', clock, they working on, on themselves with the education and then eventually they'll partner with somebody and then eventually they'll grow into, to doing something else. So you know, that's what I would just say, learn by doing. Whether it's taking those action steps or getting educated and then already moving forward from there, trying to take some action.
Mike Swenson
Now were you somebody that was, was swinging the hammer yourself or were you somebody that was trying to find good vendors to be able to help with the fix and flips and then curious to hear how, how that evolved for you?
Fuquan Bilal
No, I didn't swing any hammers. You know, I was the director of the orchestra, if you will, instead of playing in it. But I don't mind getting my hands dirty. There there's some projects where, you know, I picked up toilets and materials needed from Home Depot to drop it off the site, so the contractor keep working there. And that's what you're going to start off with, right? If you're doing a rental, if you're doing something and you're managing a project, you're going to be the gc. You know, you don't have to swing a hammer, but more than likely you'll be running for supplies and everything else. I mean, I've done that. I don't do it today because I've. I've learned how to make the contractors responsible for that. And if you. It was just before I wanted to go faster. So I was like, I'll pick up the sale. You keep working, I'll do this, I'll do that. And again, my son said to me, why are we doing this? Why? Because I was trying to get them involved, taking them to Home Depot, getting supplies. He was like, why? Why are we doing this? You're at a point now where the contractor should be doing this. And it was just. I was just trying to get things done by all means necessary. But you go through these different stages in the business where you have systems and processes where you don't have to do that. And. And that was the challenge that I had to overcome. In the beginning. I lacked having a lot of systems and processes in place, which caused me to run around crazy. And when I learned the power of making everything systematic, creating scopes of work, putting all that responsibility on a contractor, spelling out to them in the contract what they, what they're going to do, creating performance contracts that they have to be done by X amount of time in order for them to get paid what we agreed on or they'll lose money. Like, those are things you learn over time. So once I started to perfect that, my life became more easier, where now I was the director, director of the orchestra, instead of playing in it where I can actually hold them accountable from the scopes of works and inspect what I expect now I still go to the properties and do inspections to make sure everything is right for them to get paid. And our project managers, we share that responsibility. But I like doing it. You know, we do a lot of luxury spec homes and, you know, you have to have a keen eye to make sure that the quality is there and everything is. No matter how good the contract is, they're always going to take shortcuts.
Mike Swenson
Yeah, there's lots to learn about working with contractors, but like you said, it comes through Doing it comes through experience, learning where you made mistakes and be able to put those systems in place to fix that. And I think for people listening, the key is you're still doing right, you're still going through those processes. You can't expect to know everything or how to properly work with contractors on your first job. That comes through time and being able to build relationships with them. Obviously there's some contractors that you have to move on and choose somebody else, and there's contractors that you like sticking around with. But you learn that through, through the process.
Fuquan Bilal
For sure. You have to start, right, Thousand mile journey, begin with the first step. And if you don't take that first step, you will never. You have regrets. If this is something that you think you've been thinking about doing for years, like if you've been thinking about doing this for years and you haven't taken a step, then it's not for you, maybe it's for something else, right? Because if you're looking from outside and seeing somebody who does real estate and you think they're having success, you don't know what challenges, struggles they're going through. Those are the questions that I would ask. If I had to go back and start all over again and take the people that I see doing this that I may want to, you know, connect with to get information, I would start off right away saying, what are the challenges that you, you're facing right now in a business like you have 10 years experience, five years experience, whatever, what challenges are you facing right now? Then I will reverse engineer that, right? How did you come over that challenge or what are you doing now when you first started, you know what challenges you have and figure out those challenges and how they work their way through it, because that's what made them who they are today. Those challenges that they, they went through. The person in front of you right now was built from those challenges. So, you know, that's very important. Like I just shared with you, a lot of my challenges was I didn't have the right systems and processes in place. Right. There's four parts of a business is people, strategy, execution, and cash. And you have to be good at all, all four in order, in order to be successful. So the people part is always the challenge because, you know, us humans have a way of doing our own thing and following our own process, even though we may have directions in front of us. So that's why you have to create accountability with your contractors, with your vendors, with everybody, even with yourself, right? So it's always a Challenge is how you grow through it and how do you move forward from the challenge.
Mike Swenson
Now are you somebody that's like a systems minded person or, you know, an organized individual or is that something. Where was it maybe you had to hire somebody or kind of have somebody help assist that?
Fuquan Bilal
Yeah, I had to bring in vendors to teach me that because I didn't know that I wasn't an operations person. I hated operations. I was a doer. I was the person that went out and got stuff done. I would always tell people I got a gsd, I get stuff done if I had to do it myself, you know, and I was a one man band, you know, I, I didn't, I didn't know how to, I didn't like to delegate because I didn't trust that someone would be able to do it as good as I would do it. And it was years. And even with hiring a project manager, I would say it's been a, it's been a 26 year journey for me. But the first 10, 12 years it was all me running the projects. There was no project manager because I didn't feel like someone would be to execute to the level that I would. That someone will be out there Sunday getting it done, right? Saturday getting it done. Because Saturdays and Sundays are so sacred. Oh, we can't. So I was like, I got to get this done. You know, how further would I be if I can work Saturday and Sunday and if I found contractors who was dancing to that beat and was willing to come out on a Sunday and do a job, I'm right there with them. What do you need? Let's get the materials, let's go. And I did that for years. I mean, you have to be careful with that. I'm not trying to promote that because that will cause burnout. And you have to find a time where if you're out, if you are going to be out there grinding on a Sunday or Saturday, that during the week that you're getting the proper rest and you know, stuff like that. But you got to be willing to go all in like your life depend on it. That's, I believe, what got me to where I am now.
Mike Swenson
You mentioned about kind of, you know, for 10, 12 years doing it on your own and then, you know, eventually finding somebody. Was that a point of like, okay, enough is enough and I'm gonna spend time searching for the right person or is it you've kind of, you went through a couple people that maybe weren't kind of a fit and somebody was a fit or Kind of where did that tipping point happen for you? From where it went from. You do it all to that person, you know, really helps take stuff off of your plate and assists in putting those systems and processes in place.
Fuquan Bilal
For me, it was I had joined the mastermind and I started to really understand how business works, that if you is delegate to elevate, right. How do I started to figure out, I was wanting to know how do I get back more of my time? I can't do it. All right, so is this task that I'm doing work really worth my time or can I hire that out? Right? Is this a 20 hour task, 25 hour task, I can hire that out, right? I don't have to do that because that's taking up time. And that's when I really started to learn the value of time. And then I just really put a mind dump of all the things that I was doing, started to organize it and say what can I delegate and what can't I delegate? And I started to work from there. And then that's responsibility. And then with the process, I did a mind dump and said what are all the steps to construction from the beginning to the end that I knew that I was going through? And it took me some time to put that together, you know, through lucid charge, through mind mapping, whatever it was. I had vendors help me put all that together, extract all this information, put it all together and basically then started to develop a system. Right. So that's the first stage and then the next stage is automation finding systems that, you know, you can automate. Whether it's salesforce, podio, go high level, whatever it is, you can create automation for accountability. And then you can start recording videos and start training people and giving them the video. It's a whole process, right. And it took me years to kind of develop that. And it's. We're still building it, it's still refining the standard operating procedures, the s corporal work and everything else. Making the process as seamless as possible to get the projects done faster. It's, it's always something you're working on. How can I make it better? How can I make it better? How can I make it better so that eventually give me back the time which is the real currency.
Mike Swenson

I'm curious to hear how did you go from kind of fix and flip type stuff to, to taking on a project like that? And then also curious to hear more about kind of the multifamily work that you're doing in the southeast region as well.
Fuquan Bilal
So with the luxury spec homes, you know, I started in New Jersey doing regular flips in 99 and I transitioned pretty much after Covid. It's been almost a five year journey that we've been on on this side of the market doing luxury spec homes. And I, I kind of feel like, I don't want to say I was pushed out of the lower end market, but the profits were smaller because after Covid, prices increased so much. Things were selling 30% of the list, which was great because it gave us the opportunity to divest the portfolio that we had. I think the fair market value at the time was 350, 400,000 was the highest selling price home that I've sold at that time in the market. And they started to get up to like 4,5500. But the acquisition cost was way more expensive. So profits were really small. It was, we're used to making a 20% profit. Profits came down to like 4%, you know, and it wasn't worth it. Plus the risk that was involved with that because of the areas that we were doing this and it was low income areas. So you had to worry about materials being stolen, properties being broken into, vandalized, whatever. It was like as you're doing a construction. Right. So when I looked at, on the other side of the coin coined, if I went into an area where we were selling million dollar houses, what would acquisition price be, construction cost and what would the Profit be. And when I took the time to analyze that, I was like, wow, this is amazing. The profits. It would take me three houses to one to get the same profit. So it was, it was a no brainer then. It was having the confidence of that market, right, Because I was, I was selling houses below 500,000. Now we're selling houses for a million. And I didn't understand at the time that there were actually more serious buyers for that type of product. So once we did a few deals, it was, it was flipping higher end homes first. And then what I discovered was if I was to do it ground up, it's a more seamless process. I can actually know the expenses because when you're doing a gut rehab is unknown, right. You'll put a 10, 15% contingency, but you'll go 25% sometimes over your budget, which kills your profit. So when I started to look at ground up construction, I realized that you can determine a price per square foot and you can reverse engineer it. So if you know a house in this area selling for 500 square foot, you can figure out what your cost to build is. Whether it's, you know, 285 to 30, depending on the fixtures you're doing, you know, there's room for profitability there. So when I started to look at the math that way, I go, oh, this is good. Profits are way bigger. But the only thing is the, the time to, to sell, right? The, the smaller houses you can sell within four or five months. The bigger houses take you a year, sometimes 18 months, depending if you need a variance and everything else. So that kind of mess with your, your cash conversion cycle, it slows it down a bit. So you got to be mindful of that when you're doing bigger projects. But that's kind of my journey from doing a smaller project to the bigger projects. And even today, at one point we transitioned to just doing all ground up. And now today, because it's a buyer's market, you know, things are, are decelerating, not as far as price, but it's kind of slowing down. We're in the Northeast, by the way, so our market is still on fire. I mean, but if you go anywhere else, Florida or anywhere else, the values are dropping like crazy. Where in our market is still strong, we don't see too many price adjustments. There are some just because they were priced wrong, overpriced, but it's, it's a slowdown because there's more bias out, you know, being choosy on stuff now. But if you have quality product like new construction comes with a 10 year warranty, that kind of sets you apart from the average seller that's just doing a gut rehab. But we're transitioning a little bit now and going back to doing some of those, some more of those gut rehabs because the cash conversion cycle is faster on those. Profits are not as big as the ground up spec homes, but, you know, if you can close a couple of them while you're waiting for that spec home to close, then it all makes sense.
Mike Swenson
Now are the contractors that are building the, the spec homes for you, is that kind of new crew that you have or is that folks that you've built relationships with from back in your kind of fix and flip days mixtures?
Fuquan Bilal
So we have the finishers that I've had relationships with for years. You know, once the shell gets up and MEP gets done, you know, same sheetrock crew, same plumbers. I mean, same really same electricians, plumbers. We were using them on other projects, but, you know, we, we had to get new contractors to do foundation grading, hardscaping. We had to get a few more roofers, a few more carpenters to kind of help with the framing and stuff like that. So we had to build that part of the business out. And we had to build out the part of the finishes where we had to get the people who do really good ceramic tiles, molding, carpentry, so we could do multiple projects at the same time. That's kind of how we, we built that out. And you always have to have resources that you need, right? So. And then there's different stages you'll go through in the build. You'll verbally integrate some of the stuff where you have your own painters, landscapers, sheetrockers, and then some of the stuff you outsource to contractors or you do a little bit of both.
Mike Swenson
I think the key is hearing you talk about, you know, as the market changes, right, you had to adjust and, you know, what worked in the past doesn't always work in the same way in the future. So you kind of adjusted, scaled up, find some more profitable opportunities, and then the market changes a little bit and you kind of dip back into that. And so I think for somebody that has been in it for as long as you have, you've been able to kind of ebb and flow as the markets changed and your relationships grow. And so it's kind of cool to see how you can, you know, scale and tweak things depending on how the market adjusts.
Fuquan Bilal
Yeah, you always have to make adjustments and pivots. It's. You can't stay doing the same thing because you die, right? Every. Every cycle in the market have a different strategy, and you have to be able to learn how to adapt, make those changes, and then to come back around. Sometimes there's a market for fix and flip. Sometimes the market for just rentals, right? When the profits are small, you want to build your cash flow and do rentals and maybe do less flips, like the wholesalers that are out there. You know, a lot of people who are doing wholesales, right? Things slow down, a lot of regulation change. Some people are still doing it and killing it. It depends on what market you in. But a lot of those guys are starting to flip, right? Or a lot of those guys are starting to build rentals or they're doing lending because they built up a big bag of cash from wholesaling. So you have to be able to understand real estate to know which lever to pull in the market cycle.
Mike Swenson
So talk a little bit about what you've got going for your. Your multifamily projects. I'd love to hear how that came to be.
Fuquan Bilal
The multifamily is part of our impact project. So in New Jersey, before COVID we did both strategies, the fix and flips and rentals. And after Covid, we had a lot of tenants that was saying, hey, it's Covid. I can't pay rent. Right? We were fortunate enough to have a large portion of our base section 8, so we got those consistent checks. But we saw an opportunity to go to the Southeast and do our impact project. So we divested the portfolio because after Covid, prices went up. So we took advantage of that. We divested the portfolio, the rental portfolio we had in New Jersey, and then we went down to the Southeast and started buying more properties. And we're pretty much focusing on middle Georgia. We buy properties that are anywhere from 40 units to 150 units. Really, the sweet spot is between 100, between 40 and 100 units, because that's where the big boys don't play. We acquire those properties through marketing. Direct to seller property managers, marketing to those guys, relationships we created with brokers. And then we do the due diligence. If it works out, we take down a property. But the big part of that is the impact that we like to make to the communities. And what I mean by that is not only just going in and doing curb appeal and unit turn and increasing rents for profitability, but taking complex to community. Right? There's a lot of nonprofit Organizations that you can partner with that will come to the property and have sessions where you're teaching people about home ownership, teaching people about credit repair, teaching people about applications, and you're uplifting the community from inside out and trying to shift that mindset. So you get to do a lot of some of that stuff there. You get tax credit, you get a whole bunch of things there to help you out at the same time while you're turning the units, increasing rents, making curb appeal look beautiful. It's a long term strategy, so it allows us to add that value. Impact, right? I come from a low income area, single parent household, mama welfare, five kids. So I know what those areas are like and there's not a lot of people who's willing to go into those areas to create an impact. Most people are just drop off yield and there's nothing wrong with that. It's capitalist country, so. But if you can earn money and do good at the same time, it's great. So we like to align ourselves with capital partners who have that mission in mind to help us with our, our bhag, our big hairy dacious goal. And that's provide housing for 5,000 families. Affordable, quality housing for low income families.

Now I know you had mentioned the collective genius here previously and you know, you talked about, you know, joining masterminds and things like that. Talk a little bit about the value of getting in some of those rooms with big thinkers, people who are maybe going through problems at the same level that you are, people that are going through problems higher than where you're at. But talk about the impact that that's made for you being a part of those masterminds.
Fuquan Bilal
Oh, wow. What you pay for in a mastermind, you pay for speed. That's, that's what you pay for. Because you're going to get in a room with people that are 10 levels above you. And there's a saying, I know you guys heard it before, if you look at the four or five friends around you, that's who you are, right? Because you're only going to grow as much as your network is going to grow. So being in those rooms constantly, we meet once a quarter, we have calls every week, different strategy calls, property management, raising capital, whatever it is. And you're constantly educating yourself and learning and trying things. And that's really what helped me develop systems and I learned EOS from there. The Entrepreneur Operating System by Gino Wickman. Really how to run a company, not just how to flip houses, how to run a company, how to build a team, how to hire, how to do certain things right, that it helps you grow faster. And it's more of an accountability also, because you have people there that you can connect with, you can get with them, and they'll share information with you. You can fly out to the office and spend a few days and watch the operation. So it's just you, you pay for speed and it helps you grow.
