  • Why Waiting for the “Perfect” Property is Costing You Wealth
    Your idea of a “dream home” or “dream investment property” is stopping you from building wealth and taking steps toward financial freedom. Don’t believe us? Today’s guest proves it.  Mitra Kalita lives in her dream home today, but it’s only because she bought a house FAR from what was her dream back in 2002. With her family moving often, she was accustomed to packing up and making somewhere new her home throughout her childhood. So, when it was time to buy her first property, then later move, settle in, move again, and repeat, it was nothing new. This has now led to her dream home, but it only started because she made a move on that first property.  Mitra went through the 2008 housing crash as a journalist, seeing what actual loss looked like for everyday Americans. However, even with memories of the last crash, she still owns real estate and hopes the new generation of first-time homebuyers can do the same. Today, we’re talking with Mitra about the impact 2008 had on the housing market and society at large, why your “dream home” often comes after your first home, and why working while investing is a superpower that most Americans are missing.  In This Episode We Cover Why you should ditch the “dream” home/property idea and buy now instead  How the 2008 housing crash changed America forever and still affects today’s buyers  Is buying a house still worth it, and if so, will most millennials ever get their chance to buy? Why combining real estate investing and a strong career can be a wealth-building superpower  And So Much More!

  • You DON’T Need 20+ Rentals to Quit (I Did It With 6)
    It doesn’t take long to replace your income through rental property investing. Just ask Miller McSwain, who quit his job two and a half years after buying his first rental property! But it wasn't a standard rental with just one tenant and one income stream that got him there. Instead, a new “mega cash flow” strategy got him to his goal in record time. It’s not short-term rentals, mid-term rentals, or house flipping, but something that might work even better. Miller was a nuclear rocket scientist by day (yes, seriously) and a house hacker by night. He bought a property just after graduation, using his job offer as proof of income to the bank. He and his fiancée (now wife) lived in the basement while renting out the rooms on the top floors. He was saving tons on rent and living for almost free. So, why couldn’t he do this on a bigger scale? He could, and he did. This “co-living” strategy became Miller’s new obsession. Now, he’s got six rental properties with over 40 tenants, making thousands of dollars a month from each property in pure cash flow. He’s sharing exactly how to do it and does so in-depth in his new book, Co-Living Cash Flow, so you can quit your job, or at least replace some, or all, of your income with the fewest properties possible.  In This Episode We Cover Miller’s “mega cash flow” strategy that produces way more passive income than regular rentals Exactly what to look for in the perfect “co-living” property for happy tenants (and neighbors) The “community” events Miller throws at his properties that lead to lower vacancy  Discounting security deposits? The method behind Miller’s genius tenant screening tactic  How to remotely manage co-living rentals yourself (no need to pay a manager!) And So Much More!

  • How to Buy Time and Freedom with a Simple Rental Portfolio (2-Hour Workweek)
    Rentals can give you much more than just bigger pockets. They can buy you time, flexibility, and the freedom to design an adventurous and fulfilling life. Just ask today’s guest, who built a simple real estate portfolio that runs itself—creating space for midday hikes, living abroad, and passion projects. In this episode, he’ll show YOU how to slow down and do the same!   Today, Chad Carson, investor and author of The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor returns to the show to share how real estate investing gave him much more than money. Chad has been investing for decades, but now, he’s making a major shift. Rather than accumulating more rental properties, he’s paying off the ones he already owns. Instead of putting in 80-hour workweeks, he’s traveling, taking mini-retirements, and prioritizing his life goals. And the best part? Some weeks, he spends as little as two hours on his portfolio!   Want to copy Chad’s success? In this episode, he’ll show you how to trade the rat race—whether that means long hours at your nine-to-five or the relentless grind of scaling your investments—for time freedom, a flexible portfolio, and a real estate business that works for you. In This Episode We Cover How Chad optimized his real estate portfolio for a two-hour workweek Why real estate’s real return isn’t money—but time, freedom, and flexibility How to use real estate investing to build a fulfilling life (not just a big portfolio!) Swapping traditional retirement for mini-retirements that help you savor life while you’re young The power of paying down mortgages versus buying more rental properties How to ditch the rat race for a real estate business that works for YOU And So Much More!

  • 3 Cash-Flowing Real Estate Deals in 2025 (& Where We Found Them)
    There are still real estate deals even in 2025. To prove it, we’re taking three real (on-market!) deals and analyzing them three ways: as a long, medium, and short-term rental to see which will have the highest cash flow. All of these properties are around or under the median home price in the US and have at least one strategy that makes them profitable, even in 2025 with today’s high interest rates. To help run the deal analysis, Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast and Garrett Brown from BiggerStays join us to crunch the numbers. You’re probably thinking, “Short-term rentals always make more than long-term rentals!” but that isn’t exactly the case. With the added expense of short-term rental management, some deals may work MUCH better as a long or medium-term rental. We’ve even got some bonus strategies to share to boost your rental property profits, like renting-by-the-room to get even more revenue and subdividing your lot so you can sell it and pay off your rental faster (more cash flow!). These deals still work in 2025, and today, we’re sharing exactly where we found them.  In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property as a short, medium, and long-term rental  The one overlooked cost you should ALWAYS account for on a short-term rental  A sneaky tactic to get extra cash if you’re on a BIG lot  Using the “coliving” (rent-by-the-room) strategy to get even more rent every month  Why short-term rental regulations are a good thing for investors  And So Much More!
