In this week’s episode of Real Estate Rundown, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down for a no-fluff conversation about what’s really happening in today’s real estate world.

From Fed rate cuts to mortgage realities, Ted and Owen break down how market headlines often miss the mark — and what investors should actually pay attention to. They dig into SBA loan options, current deal negotiations, and even the ethics behind transitioning multifamily buildings into nonprofit housing.

As always, the guys mix in some humor, real-world experience, and a few “don’t-try-this-at-home” stories — like Ted’s car-wash purchase hunt and Owen’s LOI showdown.

💡 Golden Nugget:
Learn why the Fed funds rate isn’t the same thing as the mortgage rate, and how understanding the difference can keep you from making bad investing assumptions.

In this episode of REIA Radio, we sit down with Liz Buonincontri—known to many as Liz Bono—to hear her incredible journey from the corporate world to real estate freedom. Liz shares how she left a Big Four consulting career to build a portfolio of rentals, short-term rentals, and boutique hotels—all while raising a young family.

She opens up about the challenges of her first deals, including literally falling through a subfloor on her very first BRRRR property, and how she and her husband navigated risk, financing, and scaling into commercial assets. Liz also talks about balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, the value of diversification, and why creating unique experiences for tenants and guests has been her secret weapon.

If you’re looking for inspiration to take the leap into real estate—or motivation to keep scaling your portfolio—this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Real Estate Rundown, hosts Owen Dashner and Ted Kaasch dive into the ups and downs of their recent real estate ventures. Owen shares details on his new investment in a small-town car wash, along with the headaches of negotiating offers on his apartment complex. Ted opens up about property management challenges, repair frustrations, and the lessons that come with navigating deals that aren’t as straightforward as they seem.

The conversation highlights the realities of investing—hard work, strategy, and learning how to weigh “more money with more headaches” versus “less money with fewer problems.” They wrap up with their Golden Nugget takeaway: leaning into the hard things is often where the real money is made.

Finally, they give a sneak peek of their upcoming guest, Liz Buonincontri, who shares her inspiring journey from corporate consulting to scaling into motels and boutique properties with her husband.
