  • #245: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
    Sep 15 2025

    In this Real Estate Rundown episode, Chris Pomerleau returns for a deep dive into the systems, structure, and strategies that have helped him scale his real estate empire. Fresh off his crowd-favorite talk at the REIA Mastery Series, Chris joins Ted and Owen to unpack the business side of investing—from managing thousands of units to navigating capital raises and complex partnerships.

    Chris shares how every real estate deal is built around a business plan, and why thinking like a CEO—rather than a deal chaser—sets you apart. He opens up about how his team organically raised over $100 million from more than 700 investors, how they underwrite conservatively to reduce risk, and how they structure deals to protect investor capital with preferred returns and in-house property management.

    The conversation covers everything from creative financing and partnerships to underwriting, market trends, and the value of hiring a business coach. Chris explains how systems like EOS helped his team define their roles, scale efficiently, and make room for real growth without burning out. He also breaks down why he's still bullish on the Midwest and how he's using data, cost segregation, and smart tax strategies to stay ahead.

    This episode wraps up with a key Golden Nugget on the difference between actual cash value and replacement value in insurance policies—something every investor should understand before disaster strikes.

    It’s packed with honest insights, practical advice, and a rare look behind the scenes of one of the fastest-scaling investors in the country. And don't forget—Wednesday’s episode features Chris’s full REIA Mastery Series speech.

  • #244: Professional Property Management Systems for 5–25 Unit Success with Andy Kouri
    Sep 10 2025

    In this powerhouse REIA Mastery Series live session, Andy Kouri breaks down what it really takes to grow a property management company that doesn’t just survive—it scales.

    Andy shares the full story of how his family’s business, Corey Management, went from 379 units to managing over 2,700 doors across Omaha and Des Moines. From stepping in after his father's passing to implementing military-grade operational systems and growing a team that runs like clockwork, Andy pulls back the curtain on how he’s engineering long-term success in one of real estate’s most brutal segments.

    Expect blunt truth about what actually matters in property management—whether you're managing 5 units or 5,000. He covers:

    • Why systems and workflows are non-negotiable (and how they built theirs in AppFolio)
    • How accountability, not heroes, creates performance
    • Why speed and urgency in leasing, maintenance, and communication are deal-breakers
    • The right time to hire (and what roles to hire first)
    • His modular pod structure and how they run lean without chaos
    • Red flags that scream it’s time to fire your PM company
    • What not to do when leasing—especially AI agents and friend/family tenants

    Whether you’re self-managing a duplex or looking to build a third-party management empire, this episode is a masterclass on how to think like an operator and build a real business—not just buy real estate.

    • Scaling a property management company without drowning
    • What makes coaching actually work (and when it doesn’t)
    • Mentors vs. Coaches vs. Connectors
