In this week's REIA Radio Rundown, Ted and Owen get real about one of the most brutal realities in real estate: contractors who don't finish what they start. From broken promises and busted timelines to blue tape nightmares and punch list purgatory, they lay out the chaos that happens when the last 10% of a project becomes a never-ending saga.They unpack what really grinds their gears—like watching a deal stall because someone flaked on a faucet or vanished before painting the last coat. Owen shares personal horror stories (including four vacant rentals and a contractor time warp), while Ted drops a golden nugget about why saving money is often better than making more. They even float a business idea: a final-10%-only contracting company. (No joke, there's money in that.)If you've ever lived the flip life, managed a turn, or just want to hear two investors let loose on the grind behind the growth, this episode hits home.

In this raw and wide-ranging episode, we sit down with Tarl Yarber — real estate investor, strategic networker, and co-founder of the Limitless Expo — to talk about the grind, the ego traps, and the wake-up calls that come from chasing "success" in this business. Tarl opens up about building and scaling his flipping business to the point where it became a prison, why most investors design their business before designing their life (and how he flipped that script), and the real cost of scaling without purpose.We also get deep into:The behind-the-scenes realities of running the $1.4M Limitless Expo and why it's built for investors, not gurus.His journey from burnout to balance — what it took to step back from 17 rehabs at once and reimagine success.Why strategic networking is his superpower and the mindset shift that turned "hit list" connections into real friendships.How REOs, military ROTC, and a moldy Mazda played roles in shaping his path.The honest truth about flipping, holding, and why the BRRRR strategy always comes first in his decision tree.Tarl shares all this with the humor, honesty, and grit that's made him one of the most respected voices in real estate.

In this episode of The Real Estate Rundown, Owen and Ted dive into the gritty details of a 12-unit (formerly 15-unit) multifamily deal that didn't make the cut—but left behind a whole lot of insight. From water intrusion headaches and flood zones to mold, HVAC replacements, roof issues, and renovation math that just doesn't pencil out, this episode is the real-life breakdown of when to walk away. They also touch on Airbnb headaches, creative rehab ideas, and what it really means to take on a project with “hair” on it.Then it's on to the Golden Nugget—a lesser-known financing resource from Farm Credit Services that could save you serious cash if you've got access to farmland. The episode wraps with updates on Omaha REIA's upcoming mid-size multifamily event and a deep dive into the life and legacy of Tarl Yarber, one of the biggest flippers in the country and the brains behind Limitless Expo and Fixated Events.This one's packed with laughs, lessons, and a few plumbing disasters.If you learned something from this episode—or just enjoyed the wild ride—help us keep this show alive.

In this episode of REIA Radio, we sit down with Abe Garcia—a former auto industry veteran turned real estate agent and investor—to hear how he made the leap from selling cars to selling homes… and ultimately stacking up his first two deals through creative financing. Abe opens up about leaving behind the dealership grind to spend more time with his kids, why his first deal nearly turned into a disaster (involving frozen pipes and a collapsed ceiling), and how he locked down two South Omaha properties using deferred owner financing.Abe breaks down exactly how he structured both deals, sold them using lease options, and now cash flows $500–$600/month—despite having no background in construction or investing. He also reflects on what he wishes he knew going in, his thoughts on refinancing vs. renegotiating, and the valuable lessons he's learned from the school of hard knocks.This is a must-listen for any aspiring investor who thinks they need all the answers before jumping in.

In this episode of The Retirement Fiduciary Podcast, host Adam Koós interviews Sharad Mehta, the Founder and CEO of REsimpli, a revolutionary real estate software platform. Sharad shares his remarkable journey from working as an accountant to becoming a successful real estate investor and entrepreneur. After flipping over 800 properties and managing a portfolio of 60 free-and-clear rental units, Sharad realized the need for a more efficient way to run his business. This insight led him to develop REsimpli, an all-in-one software solution designed to streamline real estate investing by integrating marketing, lead management, accounting, and more.

In this episode of REIA Radio, the Real Estate Rundown crew — Owen Dashner, Ted Kaasch, and the ever-mysterious Aiden Bear — return for a no-holds-barred conversation about the current economic landscape and how it's shaking up short-term rentals. Ted breaks down his Airbnb struggles, slashed prices, and why the economy's weird vibes might be scaring off spring break travelers.Owen dives deep into the recent wild ride in the stock and bond markets, the impact of China dumping U.S. bonds, and how tariffs are playing whack-a-mole with your portfolio. They also dish on cryptocurrency (spoiler: not fans), and unpack why the U.S. dollar might be losing its shine.Next, they shift gears into a vulnerable conversation about partnerships, capital raising, and a little thing called “skin in the game.” Ted opens up about past business failures, including a limo bus company that left him empty-handed, and why he's rethinking how he structures future deals. They also explore the legalities and mindset behind becoming a capital raiser — and why it might be Ted's next move.Golden Nugget alert: the guys go full pest control with a detailed breakdown of how to spot termite damage (because one of them may or may not have spoken termites into existence — sorry, Owen). Whether you're an investor, landlord, or just trying not to get eaten alive by insects, this segment alone is worth the listen.Call to Action: If you got value from this episode — whether it was the financial insight, the capital raising convo, or just the pure chaos of the Real Estate Rundown crew — do us a favor.

What happens when a former D1 basketball player and physical therapist trades in his scrubs for a sledgehammer? You get Kyle Aho—real estate investor, small-town renovator, and baby-making machine (he's got three kids and counting). In this episode, Kyle joins Ted and Owen to break down how he went from buying a $25K duplex in college to running a vertically integrated company with over 315 units in Northern Michigan.Kyle shares how he and his business partner Caleb built their empire in a market of just 75,000 people by focusing on the properties nobody wanted—the hoarder houses, the condemned, the ones with literal buckets of human waste in the basement (yeah, he tells that story). Learn how they scaled with flips, built in-house crews, avoided over-leveraging early on, and created an operation that offers not just housing—but opportunity.

In this jam-packed episode of REIA Radio, Owen Dashner and Ted Kaasch take you behind the scenes of the chaotic Omaha REIA event featuring Stella Han. From tornado warnings and flight delays to sponsor cancellations, the night teetered on disaster—but somehow pulled through.Ted shares the stress of scrambling when your keynote speaker's flight keeps getting pushed and the weather threatens to shut everything down. He also jumps in with the infamous “Oma-dome” theory—Omaha's mythical weather bubble that, once again, spared the city from the worst of the storm.The conversation shifts to investor life lessons: Ted breaks down one of his trickiest conversion projects, where a botched electrical setup led to a costly pivot into midterm and Airbnb strategies. Owen walks through the real ROI of adding an egress window and turning a 2-bed into a 3-bed—how a $15K upgrade could add $30K+ in value.They also tease next week's episode with Kyle Aho—a humble powerhouse who quietly built 315 units by age 33 in a town of just 77,000 people. Owen and Ted reflect on how much you can accomplish when you stay focused, keep learning, and roll with the punches.If this episode gave you some insight, helped you avoid a costly mistake, or just made you laugh at Ted's contractor drama, leave us a 5-star review and drop a comment.

In this lively and raw episode of the Real Estate Rundown, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner bring you a mix of landlord tales, mindset breakthroughs, and behind-the-scenes investor banter you won't hear anywhere else.Ted kicks things off with a recap of his epic St. Patrick's Day tradition—which involves 17 shots, group bar chants, and somehow still showing properties the next day. Meanwhile, Owen dives into a real-life Airbnb horror story involving identity theft, $1,000 in damages, and someone deliberately cutting power to escape security cams.

In Episode 197 of The Real Estate Rundown, we sit down with long-time investor and realtor Loretta McNally, who takes us on a candid journey through 35+ years of owning and managing single-family rentals. From her very first $15,000 South Omaha rental in 1990 to managing 31 doors and now scaling down to focus on her real estate agent career, Loretta shares valuable insights on everything from Section 8 housing and lead-based paint compliance to pest control nightmares, political beginnings, and her recent pivot to Airbnb.This episode isn't just about the wins. Loretta shares a few of the “fail forward” moments—including buying a property with missing tenants, living through bat and bed bug infestations, and the time she realized her mother couldn't remember the address if she disappeared checking a vacant unit. You'll also hear about the reality of being a hands-on landlord, what it's like being audited by the EPA, and why even the best tenants sometimes move out before you're ready.Whether you're new to rentals, thinking about Section 8, or just need a healthy dose of real estate humor and heart—this one's for you.

In this no-holds-barred episode of The Real Estate Rundown, Owen and Ted dive deep into one of the most controversial topics in multifamily investing: tenant unions. What starts as a recap of a meeting with local investor Jerry Banks quickly snowballs into an intense discussion about tenant demands, rent control, deferred maintenance, and how landlords can (and should) respond.From fire escapes and pest control to lead-based paint testing and moratoriums on rent hikes—Ted and Owen break down the union's bold 16-point list of demands. But it doesn't stop there. They also bring in their producer Aiden for a tenant's perspective, explore landlord obligations, legal gray areas, and ultimately ask: what can landlords do to avoid a tenant revolt?Things get personal as Owen shares a heartfelt story about his late brother-in-law and the challenge of honoring his final wishes when it comes to donated possessions. This episode wraps up with a Golden Nugget—practical tips and shoutouts to local Omaha nonprofits who make property cleanouts and donations easier for landlords and flippers alike.It's funny, raw, emotional, and packed with real estate gold. 

Jeffery Hansen's journey is nothing short of inspiring. From barely graduating high school to serving as a medic in the military, Jeff found structure, purpose, and discipline during his service.

He opens up about the challenges of managing properties for tenants in transitional housing, how he structured creative financing deals for multifamily acquisitions, and his latest venture—a $3.9 million commercial property in downtown Omaha.If you've ever considered investing in unique asset classes, using VA and FHA loans strategically, or leveraging partnerships to scale, Jeff's story is packed with insights.
