#218: From Million-Dollar Flip to Multifamily: Nikki Klugh’s Investing Evolution
In Episode 218 of REIA Radio, we dive into the story of Nikki Klugh—a powerhouse interior designer, military spouse, investor, and community builder. From humble beginnings in Houston to becoming a finalist for San Diego Woman of the Year, Nikki shares how she transitioned from decorating rooms as a hobby to remodeling entire homes and spearheading multi-million-dollar real estate deals.
You’ll hear how a neighbor's offhand comment in Palo Alto planted the seed for investing, how Nikki and her husband leveraged a California property windfall to purchase 26 units in Omaha, and how she’s involving her sons in building generational wealth—one unit and one system at a time. Nikki breaks down the intersection of design, investing, and tax strategy (yep—she’s got professional real estate investor status with the IRS), and she dishes on why your traffic flow might matter more than your granite color.
She also opens up about the challenges of restarting a business during COVID, building new community in Omaha, and how the power of intentional design and communication applies as much to family as it does to real estate.
If you’ve ever wondered how to blend creativity with cash flow, raise kids while raising capital, or build a business that feels like purpose and not just profit—this episode’s your blueprint.
