In this episode of REIA Radio, we bring back one of our most downloaded guests ever — Collin Schwartz. A lot has changed since Collin's first appearance at Episode 16. He opens up about his insane crypto rollercoaster, losing (and almost recovering) six figures with one wrong click, and why Bud Light NFTs were a terrible investment. More importantly, Collin shares the real gold: how he's evolved mentally, physically, and financially over the last few years — from battling burnout and bad health to building better businesses and a better life.

We talk about trusting your gut, surrounding yourself with the right people, biohacking, the realities of money versus fulfillment, and why constantly reinventing yourself isn't just smart — it's necessary. Whether you’re a beginner in real estate or 500 units deep, this is one of those "stop what you’re doing and pay attention" episodes.

If you got even one thing out of this episode (and honestly, if you didn’t, that's a "you" problem), please leave us a five-star review. It helps keep this podcast alive, helps us bring on even bigger guests, and reminds us that we're not just talking into a void every week. Subscribe, review, and share if you're about that growth life.

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. Leave a written 5-star review on Apple, Audible, or Spotify. It helps us continue what we’re doing, grow the show, and bring you more of the real, raw, unfiltered real estate talk you won’t get anywhere else.

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.

🟡 Golden Nugget: The biggest wins often come from buying the worst houses—because if it needs everything, every small thing you don’t need is a win.
