David takes you inside a $10M real estate deal with Ashley Rhame for a full walkthrough of a rare, large-scale redevelopment. This isn't a typical flip. You'll see how historical restrictions, multi-year timelines, massive capital requirements, and design decisions shape an eight-figure project. Along the way, Ashley breaks down what went right, what went wrong, and why deals at this level require a completely different mindset than standard residential investing. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:17 - The Backyard Of The Property3:22 - Touring The Kitchen And Living Room4:47 - The Front Of The Property8:21 - Funding & Finding The Deal9:50 - Continuing The Tour20:47 - Touring The Garage21:13 - How She Was Able To Afford This Deal24:28 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Ashley Rhamehttps://www.instagram.com/ashley_bettencourt_rhame/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Celebrating a major milestone this week on my podcast show. Started this show back in 2018 (aka the pioneer days of podcasting) and had one goal in mind: to create the biggest stage ever for those in the real estate world. With some of the biggest names in real estate and many local real estate leaders having joined me, its been such an amazing ride. Along with that, I also get to share the stories of my new listings and sold stories here with millions of listeners. There is never a day I do not appreciate this. PS My advice to every agent across the globe is make sure you become the voice of real estate in YOUR community. Being on this podcast is one of the best ways to do it. You get to let them know you were a guest on a #1 ranked real estate podcast.

Ashley Rhame walks through the risky first flip that nearly drained her bank account—and how that single deal set off a path that led to building a real estate fund, navigating market crashes, and ultimately taking on a $10M renovation in San Diego. This conversation breaks down conviction, risk management, scaling too fast, pulling back at the right time, and what it actually takes to survive multiple market cycles in real estate. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:50 - Ashley Rhame's Business & How She Got Started14:18 - DealMachine Quick Tip16:50 - Getting Contractors From Home Depot18:37 - Starting A Fund30:02 - Changing Her Strategy & Building ADUs34:45 - What She's Excited About Now40:27 - Working With Charity46:37 - Books That She Recommends51:59 - Working In Wealth Management53:21 - Closing Thoughts54:08 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Ashley Rhamehttps://www.instagram.com/ashley_bettencourt_rhame/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

“The Gifts That Don't Fit Under the Tree”This episode is one of the most personal ones I've recorded all year. As we close out the season, I've been reflecting on the gifts that shaped me—not the ones wrapped in bows, but the ones that stretched me, challenged me, softened me, and reminded me what really matters.Inside this conversation, I'm sharing the intangible gifts this year handed me: the kind that don't sit under a tree, the kind that require you to look at yourself honestly, and the kind that quietly redefine your priorities as an entrepreneur, parent, leader, and human.If you've been craving more meaning, more presence, or more alignment in a year that asked a lot of you… this episode is going to speak directly to your heart.In This Episode, I Cover:1. The Gift of GrowthWhy real growth isn't loud, glamorous, or Instagram-readyThe type of growth that forces you to evolve your thinking, leadership, and boundariesWhy doing less but choosing better is the most powerful shift I made this year2. The Gift of RelationshipsHow every breakthrough in my business came from people—not funnels, strategies, or algorithmsThe importance of being in rooms that challenge, elevate, and stretch youWhy connection is the true currency of a meaningful life and business3. The Gift of Family and PresenceThe moments with my boys I'm cherishing more than everHow slowing down actually sharpens your visionWhy being fully present is a strategy—not a sacrifice4. The Gift You're Being Called to Give YourselfA question that will reframe how you enter the new yearThe intangible gifts that shape your legacyWhat people will remember long after the holidays are overIf you're ready to slow down just enough to hear your own clarity… To reflect honestly on what mattered this year… And to step into next year more aligned and intentional—this episode is for you.If this conversation brought you value, helped you breathe a little deeper, or reminded you of something you've forgotten, I'd love for you to hit Follow so you never miss an episode.You can also join our community, get updates, and access upcoming events at letsplaybigger.com.Wishing you a season filled with clarity, connection, and the moments that matter most.Let's continue to Play Bigger—together. ✨---Thank you for joining me on this episode of Play Bigger with Raquel Quinet, and remember, keep pushing your limits to achieve your goals.For updates and collaborations or opportunities, go to www.LetsPlayBigger.comFind more resources on our websitehttps://raquelq.com/podcast/Follow Raquel on Raquel Quinet's socials:Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInCheck Out Our2025 Play Bigger EventsApply to be in our Play Bigger MastermindGrow Your Real Estate Business with Real BrokerageJoin our Facebook Play Bigger Community

He walks through his lean operating model, how he monetizes leads that don't fit his flip criteria, and the mindset shift that allowed him to raise private money and scale without sacrificing lifestyle.

The Room That Changed Everything: Why Your Environment Shapes Your SuccessThis week, I walked into a mastermind that reminded me—again—why the right room can change the entire trajectory of your business, your relationships, your wealth, and your health.It wasn't about tactics.It wasn't about who had the highest GCI. And it definitely wasn't about whose team was the biggest.Instead, it was about perspective.It was about identity. It was about alignment.And it stretched me in a way that podcasts, videos, and social media never could.In this episode, I share the real lessons I took away from sitting in a room full of high-level entrepreneurs—including conversations around brain chemistry, wealth-building, long-term thinking, and why proximity truly compounds over time.This isn't an episode about motivation. It's an episode about elevation—and why the rooms you choose today will shape the life you live years from now.If you've been feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you've been doing “all the things” but not actually moving forward… this conversation is going to challenge you in the best way.Things I Cover in This EpisodeHere's what I break down:• The surprising ways our industry has matured—and why that matters • Why “information” isn't what changes you… rooms do • The power of proximity and how relationships compound over time • The identity shift of today's top producers and leaders • Lessons from Ben Kinney on brain chemistry, motivation, and discipline • The mindset and wealth principles from UGG founder Brian Smith & author George Antone • The difference between pressure and regulation—and why it matters for success • What the right room should activate in you • The simple question that will tell you if you're in the wrong environment • The true ROI of masterminds (hint: it's not what you think)And most importantly…• How to choose rooms that expand you—not drain you.If this episode sparked something in you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it and tag me @itsraquelq so I can celebrate what stood out for you.And if you're ready to step into rooms that stretch your thinking, support your growth, and elevate your business to the next level— join our upcoming Play Bigger workshops & masterminds at letsplaybigger.com or send me a DM on Instagram.The right room changes everything.Let's get you in the room where your next level begins.---Thank you for joining me on this episode of Play Bigger with Raquel Quinet, and remember, keep pushing your limits to achieve your goals.For updates and collaborations or opportunities, go to www.LetsPlayBigger.comFind more resources on our websitehttps://raquelq.com/podcast/Follow Raquel on Raquel Quinet's socials:Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInCheck Out Our2025 Play Bigger EventsApply to be in our Play Bigger MastermindGrow Your Real Estate Business with Real Brokerage

In this Real Estate Rundown episode, Owen and Ted get into the practical side of AI—how tools like ChatGPT can help you spot your “zone of genius” (and your blind spots) so you can stop doing the work you secretly hate and start delegating like an adult. They share a solid prompt passed along from their buddy Colin Schwartz, compare “nice” AI vs “tell me the truth” AI, and talk about why unfiltered feedback can be a cheat code for business growth.They also drop a super practical landlord/flipper nugget: a cellular-based temp/humidity/power monitoring device you can use in vacant properties during winter so you don't find out you lost heat after your pipes explode.Finally, they preview an upcoming episode with local Omaha investor Jason Woodward (and his son) and tease a conversation around “alternative flipping”—ways to flip assets that aren't houses (boats, cars, furniture, etc.).If you got value from this one:Follow/subscribe to REIA Radio, share this episode with a friend, and comment what your zone of genius is (or the thing you're finally going to stop doing). You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...

Playing Bigger isn't about blowing up your life.It's not about hustling harder.And it's definitely not about 10X-ing everything overnight.In this very first episode of The Play Bigger Podcast, I'm having an honest conversation about something most high achievers don't want to admit: the quiet, hidden cost of playing small.On the outside, it can look like success. You have clients. You're busy. The calendar is full. Money is coming in. But on the inside… you know you're operating beneath your true capacity.In this episode, I break down the real price you pay when you delay tough decisions, stay the bottleneck, avoid visibility, or keep telling yourself, “I'll build it later.” I also share exactly how this showed up in my own journey—even at high levels of success.This isn't about motivation.This is about standards. And the question is simple: Are you willing to raise yours?If you've been feeling a quiet tension between where you are and where you know you're capable of going—this episode will hit different.Things I Cover in This EpisodeWhat playing small actually looks like for high performersThe 5 real costs of playing small:Financial costTime costEmotional costIdentity costLegacy costWhy exhaustion and playing small can exist at the same timeThe difference between operator thinking vs. CEO thinkingHow high achievers get stuck longer than anyone elseThe danger of “successful dysfunction”My personal seasons of playing small (even while producing big)The fear behind staying private, avoiding visibility, and delaying leverageA powerful self-audit to reveal where you're cappedWhat playing bigger truly means (without chaos or burnout)The one decision that can shift your entire next chapterIf this episode challenged you in the best way, here's your move:Pick one area where you've been playing small.Make one bold decision this week that moves you into alignment.If you're ready to scale with structure, clarity, and strategy, explore what we're building at letsplaybigger.comAnd if this episode hit home, share it with someone who needs the push.---Thank you for joining me on this episode of Play Bigger with Raquel Quinet, and remember, keep pushing your limits to achieve your goals.For updates and collaborations or opportunities, go to www.LetsPlayBigger.comFind more resources on our websitehttps://raquelq.com/podcast/Follow Raquel on Raquel Quinet's socials:Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInCheck Out Our2025 Play Bigger EventsApply to be in our Play Bigger MastermindGrow Your Real Estate Business with Real BrokerageJoin our Facebook Play Bigger Community

This is Part 1 of our deep dive with Jay Kathol and Ashley Wells, and it's a masterclass in what really happens behind the scenes of bigger real estate deals. Jay and Ashley walk through the highs and gut-punch lows of taking on a 40-unit multifamily, why their due diligence grade was a hard “C-minus,” and what they'd do differently before ever touching another boiler building again.They talk legacy properties, inheriting a deal from family, and why sometimes singles and doubles beat swinging for home runs. You'll hear how they started navigating bad tenants, contractor issues, surprise capital expenses, and a property with a rough reputation—plus how creative financing and buying the LLC instead of just the asset set the stage for what comes next in Part 2.If you're thinking about scaling into bigger multifamily or commercial, start with this episode so you don't learn these early lessons the hard (and expensive) way.

Send us a textThe National Association of REALTORs was in the news last week concerning two policies. One was changed and the other was upheld.   First, NAR voted to end the requirement of NAR membership to gain access to REALTOR owned MLSs. This is a great policy change but did the change go far enough?Secondly, NAR failed to approve the required disclosure of referral fees in a real estate transaction. This is a very bad look for the Association especially when you hear the amount of support in the Association for the change. Don't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.

This season has shown me something most people don't talk about out loud: your relationships will either accelerate your vision… or quietly slow it down.As we get to the end of the year, people start reflecting on gratitude, lessons, and the people in their life — and that reflection hits differently when you realize some relationships no longer feel aligned. Maybe you feel drained after certain conversations. Maybe the friendships that used to fit… don't. Maybe your circle feels smaller but sharper.You're not imagining it.You're not being dramatic.You're growing.And not everyone is meant to come with you into your next season.In today's episode, I'm sharing the truth about shifting friendships, evolving standards, and the emotional cost of outgrowing people you once loved deeply. I'll walk you through how I curate my circle, how I protect my energy, and how I decide who gets access to me — not based on history, but based on alignment.If you've been feeling disconnected, drained, or misunderstood this year… this episode will give you clarity, permission, and a framework for choosing relationships that match who you're becoming — not who you used to be.   Things I cover in this Episode:The moment you realize you've outgrown old friendshipsWhy growth can feel lonely (and why it's not actually loneliness — it's expansion)How to protect your energy without guiltThe Access Buckets Framework I teach my kidsInner Circle vs. Growth Circle vs. Clients vs. DrainersHow to filter relationships using expanders vs. diminishersWhy boundaries aren't rejection — they're alignmentHow to elevate your rooms and stop staying where you're the strongest oneWhat happens when your bandwidth shrinks and your standards riseA step-by-step “Play Bigger Relationship Audit” to realign your circle for 2026If this episode resonates with you — if it gives you clarity, permission, or a deep exhale — share it with a friend, tag me on Instagram @itsraquelq, or send me a message inside my VIP text community at textraquel.com.And if you're ready to grow with me in 2026 — through coaching, events, or a VIP Day in Scottsdale — send me a DM.

To celebrate 500 episodes of the Financial Freedom with Real Estate Podcast, Michael flips the script and answers your biggest questions. Listeners submitted their favorite episodes plus their most burning questions about scaling, quitting a W-2, raising capital, working with brokers, avoiding bad deals, parenting, mindset, and even… Michael's net worth. This special episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom from a decade of podcasting and real-world investing experience.Key Takeaways: Time is not the real barrier — priority is. With 5 focused hours a week, you can build a multimillion-dollar real estate business on the side. When to quit your W-2? It's personal. Burn-the-boats works for some, but most people exit when acquisition fees and deal income create a meaningful financial runway. Comfort zone determines whether you buy a duplex or a 50-unit. Touring larger properties stretches your perceived limits instantly. Raising capital is easier than you think. Engineers, introverts, and first-timers routinely raise $500K–$750K within 60 days with the right playbook. You don't need to raise all the money yourself. Capital raisers and deal finders are natural partners — leverage ecosystems and joint ventures. How to stand out to brokers: Build a team first, stop using newbie language, stay responsive, and meet them in person. Know when to walk away from a deal: Sometimes you should — sometimes you shouldn't. Experienced mentors help you see the difference. Focus on passive income, not net worth. Financial freedom is when passive income exceeds living expenses. Most valuable life lesson for his kids: Live intentionally. Not defaulting into a career or life path. Success is less about outcomes and more about who you become. Mindset, peace, and character matter more than money.

This Thanksgiving hits differently… and I wanted to bring you into the real story behind why. If you had asked me a year ago whether my mom would be sitting at the table celebrating her 76th birthday today, I couldn't have given you an answer. We prayed. We fought. We almost lost her—twice. And this year forced me to slow down in ways I never expected.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing a message straight from my heart. Not as a business coach. Not as an entrepreneur. But as a daughter navigating one of the hardest seasons of her life.I talk about what this year taught me about legacy, presence, loss, gratitude, and the truth about building a life you actually want to live—not just a business that looks successful on paper.This isn't just a Thanksgiving message. It's a reminder of what matters, what lasts, and what we often forget while we're chasing goals, growth, and the next milestone.If you're in a season of building… or a season of slowing down… or a season of transition… this one is for you.

Three Systems Every Agent Must Lock In Before the Year EndsIf you stopped working today… would your business keep running? If your answer is anything other than YES, this episode is your wake-up call.In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes as I break down the three must-have systems every single agent needs to lock in before the end of the year—no fluff, no overwhelm, just the essentials that generate leads, stop money leaks, and build a business that doesn't depend on constant hustle.Because here's the truth: Vision without systems is just stress dressed up in hope. And how you end this year will determine exactly how you start 2026.I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact systems my top clients use to scale with ease—so you can clean up the chaos, tighten the gaps, and create a business that grows even when you're not grinding.If you're ready to step into your CEO role, build sustainable success, and start the new year with clarity and momentum… you're in the right place.
