About Nick

A former banker turned real estate investor, Nick Aalerud has 20 years of experience – in both UP and DOWN markets – across all strategies and asset classes. Having run a multi-state 8-Figure wholesale, fix & flip and rental operation where the team would do 100+ deals a year in seven states, he built a team and opened up other company verticals in real estate brokerage (40+ agents), property management, short sale negotiations, and an investment servicing division.

He helped begin and grow numerous networking groups regionally (Black Diamond REI Insiders & REI Unleashed) to over 1500 members, to help foster a sense of community and to help teach others the right way to help people and make money in the business.

His firms have syndicated, bought and sold over $100M in real estate, and currently has $20M in assets under management through RV Parks, Multifamily Portfolios, Boutique Hotels and Self Storage portfolios up and down the East Coast with strategic partnerships.

Having been through his own short sales, a foreclosure, crawling back from $500K in bad debt, losing hundreds of thousands in rehab lessons, having built a large

8-Figure organization with 40+ people across 7 states, undergoing a full burnout, burning everything to the ground…

and two divorces which left him homeless and even in the hospital…

Along this same feel, he’s passionate about overlaying a LIFE element to all those entrepreneurs who have taken a ton of courses or guru strategies, and can’t seem to take action or can’t seem to get consistent on their own success, and especially for those who don’t yet feel fulfilled in their own lives.

He’s a leader in the REI Accelerated Community which fosters a go-giver group of folks who are holding eachother accountable using specific frameworks for reaching financial freedom in 5 years or less using real estate as the tool.

He is the founder of Life Unlimited, which guides burnt out or stale entrepreneurs back to abundance and passion in their lives, while showing them how to HAVE IT ALL in their finances, in their relationships, and in their LIFE by challenging the very fabric of who they were, and who they can be.

He’s the host of the Journey to Freedom podcast, where he shares stories of other business owners and community members who overcame their own challenges and sharing their own paths to freedom.
