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.

In this jaw-dropping episode of REIA Radio, we sit down with Jerry Banks—real estate investor, entrepreneur, and author of "Eat Sh*t and Smile"—for one of the most unforgettable interviews we’ve ever recorded.

From escaping Vietnam under a fake engagement to flipping his first house at 15, Jerry's story is filled with insane pivots, painful failures, and major wins. We dig deep into his journey from small-town Iowa to leading a billion-dollar real estate portfolio with Lozier Investments. He opens up about surviving near-bankruptcy during his Bread Dough Pizza franchise days, his unexpected comeback, and the brutal lesson a pissed-off banker once gave him that changed his entire trajectory.

You'll hear golden nuggets on mentorship, adapting through market cycles, and why building resilience matters more than any business plan. Whether you're new to investing or 20 years in, this is one episode you’ll want to hear all the way through.
