The easy money crowd is getting a reality check. Repairs cost real money, deals take work, and the strategy that worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. Ted shares what’s really happening with his Louisville and Yutan car washes—from a $1,700 paint purchase to rebuilding a property that has been shut down for three years. He explains why he’s taking the Yutan location cashless, the upgrades he’s making, and his plan to refinance and use equity to improve his other location. Owen breaks down recent deals that show there’s still opportunity in this market, including a rental purchased for $85,000 and sold for $149,000. The guys also discuss a $250,000 laundromat opportunity that slipped away, their concerns about the direction of wholesaling regulation, and why relationships and follow-through still help investors find deals. There are still deals out there. The question is whether you’re prepared to recognize them—and follow through.

Five rental houses. Zero vacancy. Zero tenant turns. Michael Freed shares why his Oxford House rentals have become his favorite properties—and why he’d choose them over another Airbnb. Our first-ever interview guest returns to The Kash and Dash Show to catch up with hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner on everything that’s changed since episode 2. After leaving a $170,000-a-year electrical career to pursue real estate, Michael went back to a W-2 job. His reason? Rebuild cash, let his portfolio mature, and make decisions that fit his family. We dig into his experience renting homes to Oxford House sober living households, what makes a property a good fit, and why investors should contact their local outreach worker before buying or renovating. Michael shares how five of these rentals have operated without vacancy or tenant turns during his ownership, while providing a home for people rebuilding their lives. This is an honest conversation about adjusting your plan, keeping your priorities straight, and building a business that supports the life you actually want. Want to learn more about Oxford Houses? Head to The Kash and Dash Show’s YouTube channel, open the Live tab, and search for the Oxford House presentation with Ken Norman. If you’re considering this strategy, start by contacting your local Oxford House outreach worker to learn what housing they need.

A big real estate portfolio doesn’t mean you have cash to pay the next big repair bill. And another “great deal” might be the last thing your life needs. On this Unscripted episode of The Kash and Dash Show, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner get honest about the gap between building wealth and actually feeling financially secure. Owen shares why he’s planning to pull nearly $200,000 in equity from seven rental properties—and why deciding whether to sell, refinance, or keep collecting cash flow is anything but simple. Ted brings back takeaways from BiggerPockets’ conference, including conversations about adapting to a tougher market and why someone’s online presence tells you very little about their actual portfolio. Then the conversation gets personal: the stress business owners carry home, what they share with their spouses, and why having people who understand the pressure matters. Owen also mentions a potential rehab opportunity for interested investors. Reach out to him through Owen Money Real Estate to ask whether it’s still available.

If you’re only using AI to answer questions and rewrite emails, you’re barely scratching the surface. In Episode 355 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner join Collin Schwartz and Neil Gallus for another installment of Build With Operators. This time, we’re asking the questions business owners actually care about: What can AI take off my plate? How do I protect my information? And what does it cost to get real help? Ted shares how connecting AI to his existing tools helped him organize tax files and tackle projects he’d been putting off. Owen explains how an automated weekly report finally gave their lending business a clear picture of available capital, upcoming loans, and potential problems. Collin also shares a client example where better visibility helped uncover $60,000 in duplicate billing, while Neil describes turning an eight-hour employee task into roughly ten minutes. The point isn’t to collect more software. It’s to fix the problems costing you time and money. In this episode: • Connecting AI to the tools you already use. • Why giving AI context about your business changes the quality of its output. • Permissions, approvals, and security questions to consider before handing off tasks. • Using dashboards and automated reports to catch costly mistakes. • When a locally hosted AI setup might make sense—and when simpler tools will do. • What working with Build With Operators looks like, including consulting and pricing. • Why understanding your business processes comes before building bots. Ready to put these ideas to work? Collin and Neil discuss their October 21–23 online workshop for small business owners and solopreneurs, plus a November 5–6 in-person workshop focused on business systems and automation.

What good is building wealth if you’re too burned out to enjoy the life you’re building? Rachel Vaida joins Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner for a conversation that starts with a real estate deal gone sideways and gets personal fast. From leaving healthcare to making just $2,000 on her first flip, Rachel shares how she found her footing in real estate—and why owning hundreds of doors was never her goal. When a serious health crisis forced her to step back, her rental income helped support her family while she focused on recovery. That experience changed how she thought about work, freedom, and what success actually looks like. We get into the pressure to keep doing more, the guilt of getting help along the way, and why being physically home doesn’t always mean you’re present. Rachel also shares her perspective on mindset, spirituality, and the small routines that help her leave work stress behind instead of handing it to her family. It’s an honest conversation about making money, knowing when to slow down, and building a business that gives you room to live. Check out Rachel’s podcast, Aligned and Unhinged, and hear more about her approach to coaching business owners and high performers in this episode.

Your business idea sounds great. But what happens when someone builds something better? In Episode 353 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner dig into a question every entrepreneur should ask: What could a competitor do to make your business obsolete—and why aren’t you working on that idea yourself? Inspired by a conference talk from a Shazam co-founder, Ted shares his ideas for tackling the everyday headaches of owning self-serve car washes. Think AI-powered billboards that call out dirty cars, wash bays that clean themselves, trash compactors, and remote chemical monitoring. These are concepts he’s exploring, and they spark a bigger conversation about cutting repetitive work and turning business problems into opportunities. Ted and Owen also discuss lessons from WeWork’s rise and fall, how autonomous vehicles could reshape businesses like Uber, and why a successful business today still needs to think ahead. Plus, they preview their conversation with Rachel Vaida and talk about Ted’s mission to find new podcast guests at BPCon—with the usual Unscripted banter along the way.

A property management company discovered it had double-paid vendors $60,000. The problem? Scattered receipts, manual follow-ups, and a process that made expensive mistakes easy to miss. In Episode 4 of Build With Operators on The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner welcome back Collin Schwartz and Neil Gallus to talk about how they’re using AI to solve real business problems. Collin breaks down a custom vendor workflow that brings job tracking, before-and-after photos, receipts, and office approvals into one place. The goal: improve the software a business already uses while cutting the busywork that costs time and money. Then the conversation gets bigger: If AI keeps taking over tasks people get paid to do, what happens to jobs, business ownership, and the people buying your rental properties? From practical automation to uncomfortable questions about the future, this episode explores what business owners can do today while the technology keeps changing.

A $2.8 million lawsuit. An $80,000-plus loss on a separate flip. And a moment when Sergio Martinez seriously questioned whether real estate was worth it. In Episode 351 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner sit down with investor and Realtor Sergio Martinez for an honest conversation about getting started, taking some expensive hits, and building a business around relationships and your reputation. Sergio shares how he bought his first investment property for just $7,000—with only $400 to his name and funding from others—and pawned his Xbox to afford gas while working on the renovation. That first deal opened the door, but the deals that followed taught him how quickly things can go sideways. He walks through a Subject-To transaction that led to U.S. Marshals serving him lawsuit papers, the roughly $15,000 he says he spent on attorneys before being dismissed from the cases, and a separate flip where failed sales and mounting holding costs wiped out his profit and more. We also get into: Why he shifted toward wholesaling after carrying as much as $20,000 a month in hard money costs.How meeting two new investors each week has helped him find deals, build friendships, and raise private money.Finding opportunities in small towns that other investors overlook.Why he disclosed a termite problem even though it cost him a five-figure wholesale opportunity.Becoming more selective about deals—and defining success beyond money and doors owned.Sergio’s goal isn’t just to build a bigger portfolio. It’s to be someone his family and community can count on. Want to connect with Sergio?

Should regulators just end wholesaling already? Ted Kaasch isn’t holding back—and Owen Dashner sees opportunity in the very changes making investors rethink their next move. In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, Ted and Owen debate proposed wholesaling restrictions, the fallout from bad actors, and what tighter rules could mean for investors, sellers, and hard money lenders. Ted argues that piling on more requirements makes the business harder to justify, while Owen explores how investors could adapt and keep doing deals within the rules. Their discussion reflects opinions and proposals at the time of recording, not legal advice. But first: when does chasing a shiny object become a smart business move—and when does it leave you holding a wrench for 12 hours? Ted shares the growing pains of owning car washes, while Owen explains why spreading your attention across too many businesses can put your most profitable one at risk. They also get into knowing when to pass on a partnership, learning a business from the ground up, and a potential $20,000 window replacement that nobody wanted.

If every decision, email, and maintenance request has to go through you, your business can only move as fast as you do. And working longer hours won’t fix that. In Part 3 of the Build With Operators AI series, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner bring you Collin Schwartz’s live presentation from Omaha REIA—the event that sparked this eight-part series. Collin breaks down how real estate investors and business owners can use AI to tackle repetitive work, find the problems slowing them down, and free up time for the decisions that actually need them. From tenant maintenance calls and overflowing inboxes to multifamily deal analysis and lending dashboards, Collin shares practical examples from his businesses. He explains how to decide what to automate, what needs human oversight, what should stay in your hands, and what you should stop doing altogether. His 10–80–10 approach puts you in charge of the direction and final review while AI handles the heavy lifting in between. The challenge: pick one process that eats up your week and improve it before chasing twenty new tools. Collin also gets honest about the time, money, and trial and error he’s invested in learning AI—and why building something impressive doesn’t automatically make it useful. What’s the biggest bottleneck in your business? Drop it in the comments or send your questions to [email protected]. Ted and Owen will answer what they can and bring Collin in for the deeper AI questions. Interested in the Build With Operators workshop mentioned in this episode? Email us to ask for details.

A handshake deal. A $100,000 payday. Then, five minutes later, a phone call with a million-dollar offer. Mark Rollag joins hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner on Episode 348 of The Kash and Dash Show to share how a farm deal turned into a much bigger payday—for the guy he’d just agreed to sell it to. From selling a $32 million private jet to finding overlooked opportunities in farmland, Mark shares how asking questions and building relationships have opened doors throughout his career. He also gets honest about the money he’s left on the table and why having someone challenge your ideas can save you from an expensive mistake. The conversation covers landowners who don’t realize what their property is worth, simple sales habits that business owners overlook, and the difference between building a company and creating a job you can never leave. Mark also shares how he uses AI to research opportunities, save time, and keep learning. Through it all, one idea keeps coming back: What’s the point of building wealth if you never make time to enjoy it? For Mark, every day is a bucket-list day. Want to connect with Mark?

Is wholesaling becoming more trouble than it’s worth? Ted’s take: “Just end it.” In episode 347 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner get into the growing pressure on real estate wholesalers, takeaways from Omaha REIA’s wholesale transactions event, and proposed Nebraska changes that could reshape how deals get done. They debate the impact on sellers, investors, and lenders—and where new opportunities could emerge as the rules change. But first: are shiny objects making you money or just stealing your attention? Ted shares what a 12-hour day fixing his car wash really looks like, why he’s still pursuing more locations, and why he passed on an offer to help launch a lending business. Owen weighs in on the cost of splitting your focus and why your most profitable business deserves more of your time. Along the way, they cover partnership lessons, Owen’s unexpected tax refund, and a window replacement estimate that could ruin anyone’s afternoon.

What if your next marketing hire wasn’t a hire at all? In Part 2 of our eight-part AI series, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner welcome back Neil Galas and Collin Schwartz, alongside special guest Aaron, to explore how business owners can turn AI into something that actually saves time and makes money. Neil shares how he uses AI to turn original content into 100–150 marketing pieces—a workflow he estimates would otherwise require roughly $100,000 in salaries to match. The conversation breaks down the human input and review behind that process, why generic prompts produce generic results, and how building an AI “brain” around your business can make its output more useful. The group also explores connecting business tools, turning meeting recordings into action items, choosing which repetitive tasks to automate, and the tradeoffs between cloud-based and locally hosted AI. Don’t want to spend hundreds of hours figuring it all out? They discuss what working with an AI implementation team can look like through Build With Operators. Then the conversation gets bigger: Is AI headed toward a dot-com-style bubble? How could driverless cars change real estate and daily life? And if technology eventually does more of our work, what happens to our sense of purpose? What’s one task you’d gladly hand off to AI—and are you betting on a better future or Idiocracy?

A great pitch doesn’t mean a great investment. And trusting someone with your money doesn’t mean you can stop paying attention. Real estate CPA, investor, and author Ted Lanzaro joins Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner on The Kash and Dash Show to talk about what happens when investors overlook the numbers. He works with more than 100 investment groups—but says he’d invest his own money with only about five. His reasons are worth hearing before you write your next check. Ted shares stories from his forensic accounting work, including a bookkeeper who stole from a business for 20 years without getting caught. He also explains how rising expenses and risky debt can sink real estate deals, why “passive” investing still takes work, and why sending more money into a struggling investment deserves a closer look. The conversation gets personal as Ted walks through his own investing mistakes, missed opportunities, and decision to step back from flipping houses to focus on his CPA business and family. We also discuss why your CPA should be part of the conversation before you buy or sell—not just when it’s time to file your taxes. Ted introduces his book, Year-Round Tax Planning for Real Estate Investors, and the Landmark Wealth Framework, along with plans for free educational resources to help investors make more informed decisions. Watch for follow-up details about his book and resources through The Kash and Dash Show and Omaha REIA.
