Nadir Settles moves billions of dollars into the kind of housing most investors ignore.

As Global Head of Impact Investing at Nuveen Real Estate, Nadir oversees one of the largest affordable housing portfolios in the country. His job is to prove, deal after deal, that you can do right by working families and still deliver returns to serious capital. He is very good at it.

For an hour we get into how institutional real estate really works, why affordable housing is one of the most overlooked opportunities in the market, and how a young person from our community can get into this business without a trust fund. Nadir also shares the habits and mentors that carried him from the ground floor to the top of a global firm.

If you have been waiting for a real estate master class from somebody who does it at scale, this is it.
