#286: Inspect What You Expect: Back to Basics with Jeri Schlickbernd
2026/02/04
In Episode 286, Jeri Schlickbernd returns to REIA Radio after multiple appearances—and Ted and Owen dig into what happens when real estate (and life) doesn’t follow the cute little plan you wrote on a whiteboard in 2021. Jeri walks through the real story behind the big moves: relocating from St. Petersburg, dealing with renovations that turned into a slow-motion disaster, and the emotional/financial pressure that comes when your “home run” project becomes your “why do I do this” project. She’s candid about hard seasons, the mindset shifts that got her through it, and why “back to basics” isn’t a downgrade—it’s survival, stability, and eventually, growth. The episode turns into a practical masterclass when Jeri breaks down how to avoid shiny-object syndrome by getting brutally clear on your “why” and your number—then using that clarity as a decision filter. She also drops one of the simplest rules that saves investors a lot of pain: “Inspect what you expect.” Finally, Jeri shares what she’s building now for newer investors: her Catalyst class—built for people with roughly three (or fewer) doors, covering the A-to-Z fundamentals (comps, rehab estimates, pro formas, financing), with mindset coaching baked in so students actually execute instead of just collecting information like Pokémon cards. If you got value from this episode, do the simple stuff that actually helps: follow/subscribe, leave a quick review, and send this to one investor friend who’s currently chasing 14 strategies at once. And if you’re newer (or feel like you need a reset), check out Jeri’s Catalyst program and see if it fits where you’re at right now.  You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-today Omaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIA Check out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen’s Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/ Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/ MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/ ...
#285: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
2026/02/02
In this episode, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner get real about what’s working right now in real estate—and what’s been quietly wrecking people who try to skip the fundamentals. They talk about why “back to basics” keeps showing up (because the market doesn’t care about your feelings), why authenticity matters more than the highlight-reel version of investing, and why the best operators eventually have to roll up their sleeves again—whether they want to or not. They also recap takeaways from Jeri Schlickbernd, including lessons from the last few years of market shifts, tough project realities, and staying steady when things get messy. Expect some honesty, some laughs, and a few “yeah… I’ve done that too” moments. If you can’t explain how you make money on a deal in 30 seconds, you don’t understand it yet—and the market is about to charge you tuition. If you’ve been thinking about self-storage—or you just want a real edge in 2026—keep an eye out for the REIA Mastery Series event featuring Fernando Angelucci.

#284: Real Estate the Hard Way: Lessons From Deals and Rehabs with David Chan
2026/01/28
In Episode 284 of REIA Radio, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with David Chan for a real-world conversation on investing through market cycles, picking the right neighborhoods, and navigating renovations without getting wrecked by bad assumptions and worse contractors. David Chan joins Ted and Owen for a wide-ranging conversation that blends real estate strategy, market cycle reality, and the kind of “how did you even end up here?” backstory you can’t make up. David breaks down why he’s been drawn to Omaha’s more established pockets—especially areas like Dundee—and why “block-by-block” neighborhoods behave differently than suburbs when you’re pouring real money into renovations. They get into what it looks like to invest through different cycles, how to think about location and long-term demand, and why sticking to fundamentals matters more than chasing whatever is trending on social media this week. The conversation also covers the renovation side of the business: managing timelines, avoiding expensive surprises, and why contractor relationships can make or break a deal. To wrap it up, Ted and Owen talk practical advice for newer investors—especially around vetting contractors, staying resilient after losses, and keeping the long game in mind. The episode ends with a solid reflection on legacy: what you build, how you’re remembered, and the impact you leave behind in your community.

#283: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
2026/01/26
In Episode 283, Ted and Owen break down what’s actually moving the real estate market right now—interest rates, the noise around the Fed chair, and the nonstop headlines about institutional investors. The guys talk through how some sellers are holding off on listing because they think rates will drop soon—and how the “wait and see” mindset can stall your momentum. They also cover the reality that even if leadership changes, rates aren’t controlled by one person. The bigger picture still comes back to the bond market and the mechanics behind interest rates. On institutional investors, they discuss the idea of restricting publicly traded companies from buying single-family homes, why there are likely workarounds, and why it may not solve the real supply/cost problems. Owen shares a real lending snapshot: 6.95% on a commercial refi for a fourplex, 25-year amortization, 80% LTV—and the bigger point: deals (and lenders) still exist if you know where to look.  They also throw out a call for help: if someone can run the show’s X/Twitter presence and do it well, they want to hear from you. And they tease the next Wednesday episode featuring Omaha investor David Chan and the wild backstory behind his journey.

#282: Nightlife Hustle to Real-World Success with Kelly Klein
2026/01/21
In this episode of REIA Radio, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with longtime friend (and legendary Omaha character) Thomas Kelly Klein Jr. for a funny, honest look back at what it really took to build OmahaNightlife.com—and what that season of life turned into later. Kelly breaks down how OmahaNightlife.com started with a simple goal—get into events for free—and somehow turned into a major platform that helped shape Omaha’s nightlife scene. They talk about the early hustle, building attention before social media was even a thing, and how the “photo tag” era basically had everyone hunting for their picture the next day like it was the original Instagram. From there, the conversation drifts (in the best way) into the friendships behind the business—like the long-running Risk board game nights, cigars, drinks, and Sunday night football that kept their crew tight for years. They also get into the real entrepreneur scars: how running a chaotic business teaches you more than any class ever will, and why learning to pivot fast is survival. Kelly shares how their web business leaned hard into Flash… and then the iPhone came along and basically deleted that plan overnight. A big thread through the episode is how reputation and relationships compound. They talk about using the platform to support charity events, how that shifted public perception, and how those moves opened doors with people they never would’ve met otherwise. By the end, it’s less of a “nightlife story” and more of a real conversation about friendship, growth, mentorship, and choosing a life that feels worth living—without pretending the messy parts didn’t happen. OmahaNightlife.com was ahead of its time—and Thomas Kelly Klein Jr. was right in the middle of it. In this episode of REIA Radio, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner unpack the wild (and hilarious) rise of OmahaNightlife.com, the marketing tricks that worked before social media existed, and the hard lessons that came from building something big with your friends. If you want a real entrepreneur story—wins, screwups, pivots, and everything in between—this one delivers. Listen now, and if you want to connect with Kelly after the episode, reach out to Ted or Owen, or find him on LinkedIn.

#281: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
2026/01/19
In this episode of REIA Radio, hosts Owen Dashner, Ted Kaasch, and Denlis Bertrand jump into a laid-back Real Estate Rundown that still hits the real stuff investors deal with: shifting strategies, managing (or escaping) operational chaos, and making decisions that feel great on paper… until the bill shows up. They kick things off reflecting on their recent interview with Kelly Klein—what stood out, what got people fired up, and why there’s probably more to unpack in a follow-up. From there, the conversation turns into a real-time snapshot of where each of them is at right now. Ted talks through major transitions, including moving on from the original studio space and what it looks like to step away from one season of investing and lean into the next. Owen shares what’s happening in the trenches—leasing, vacancies, big property expenses, and the kind of problem-solving you don’t see on Instagram. Denlis gives an update on his move into buying a videography business, and the guys get into the not-so-glamorous details of protecting a deal the right way. Along the way, they talk about patience, timing, and why momentum can mess with your head—especially if you’ve built your identity around always having “the next thing” in motion. It’s part shop talk, part therapy session, and part reminder that growth usually comes with a few headaches attached.

#280: Strategic Networking: The Secret Weapon for Real Estate Success
2026/01/14
In this episode of REIA Radio, recorded live at an Omaha REIA event, Megan Ahern — aka “The Tatty Investor” — lays out why strategic networking is one of the biggest cheat codes in real estate. Not the weird “collect business cards and disappear” kind… the kind where relationships actually turn into deals, capital, partners, and long-term momentum. Megan breaks down how to build intentional connections, how reciprocity really works (without being fake about it), and why consistency beats charisma every time. She also shares practical ways to stay in touch, show up with value, and learn faster by getting in the right rooms with the right people — so your business grows because your network grows. If this hit home, subscribe to REIA Radio, leave a quick review, and send this to one investor friend who says they “need more connections” but never follows up with anyone. And if you want more live sessions like this, come check out an upcoming Omaha REIA event — the room is the real asset.

#278: Jay Miralles: 50 Mile March, Veterans, and Rebuilding After Rock Bottom
2026/01/07
Jay Miralles gets real about the stretch of life after leaving the military—losing direction, getting hit hard by divorce, and ending up in a dark season that included homelessness and serious mental health struggles. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s an honest look at what rock bottom can feel like, and what it actually takes to climb out. A big takeaway: you don’t “think” your way into a better life… you build it through structure, accountability, and the right people around you. Jay shares why community matters so much, how connection can be the difference between staying stuck and moving forward, and what changed when he decided to take ownership of his future. We also dive into Jay’s move into real estate, lessons learned the hard way in business, and why being visible and available is one of the most underrated skills if you want to grow your network and opportunities. The episode wraps with the mission behind the 50 Mile March—an endurance event designed to empower veterans and raise awareness around veteran mental health and homelessness.

#277: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
2026/01/05
Ted and Owen recap a goal-planning lunch session featuring Brandon Turner, Collin Schwartz, and Vince Gettings (Titan Group), and get real about what actually works when setting goals: process goals vs. outcome goals. Because “lose 20 pounds” isn’t a plan—it’s a wish. Ted breaks down his approach: start with the big vision, then work it down into 90-day goals, monthly targets, weekly priorities, and daily “rocks” that keep momentum moving even when life gets chaotic. They also hit the constant entrepreneur tug-of-war: building what you love (community, podcast, events) vs. building what pays the bills—plus why some “loss leader” work can still be worth it if it fuels the bigger mission. They wrap with what’s coming next, including the REIA Mastery Series event on January 16 with five keynote speakers, a full-day format, and 6 Nebraska real estate CE credit hours for licensed agents. The episode closes with a preview of an upcoming interview with local investor and business owner Jay Miralles—the kind of convo that would’ve gone two hours if they didn’t have a hard stop. If you keep saying, “I can’t delegate because training takes too long,” start screen-recording what you do (and why you do it). Build your playbook while you work, and you’ll stop being the bottleneck in your own business.

#276: From Professor to Portfolio: Jasmine Greenwaldt’s Real Estate Pivot
2025/12/31
Jasmine Greenwaldt jumps on REIA Radio to share how she went from art professor to real estate investor—and why that shift made sense once she got serious about freedom, ownership, and building something that lasts. We talk about getting started, taking calculated risks, and what it’s like running rentals when you’re not down the street to “just stop by real quick” (because that’s how people end up with a new full-time job called Stress). Then we get into the real stuff: long-distance management, short-term vs. long-term rentals, insurance headaches, and contractor relationships—aka the part of real estate nobody brags about, but everyone eventually learns the hard way. Jasmine shares what she’s focused on next and the mindset that keeps her moving forward even when a project gets messy.

#275: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
2025/12/29
They kick things off with some end-of-year chaos and friendly trash talk, then shift into a serious update on a newly purchased Omaha property that’s being repositioned into long- and mid-term rentals. From there, the conversation turns into a mix of strategy, war stories, and lessons learned the hard way. Owen and Ted break down hard money and private lending—what it is, why it matters, and how understanding the rules (and structuring deals correctly) can open up opportunities without you doing every project yourself. They also get into marketing that actually moves the needle, including why consistency beats “perfect,” and why authentic content tends to win over polished, robotic posts. On the operations side, they unpack the parts nobody puts on Instagram: tenants trying to bypass the property manager, tech issues that turn into lockouts, neighbor drama that escalates fast, and why having boundaries (and the right team) keeps you from being on-call 24/7. They wrap with a quick debate on Airbnbs vs hotels, plus a teaser for an upcoming episode featuring an out-of-state short-term rental story packed with insurance and contractor headaches.

#274: From Flipping Boats to Flipping Houses: Jason Woodward’s Investing Journey
2025/12/24
In this episode, we sit down with Jason Woodward and unpack a real-life investing journey that starts with flipping boats (yes, boats) and turns into building a real estate portfolio while still working a full-time W-2. Jason shares how learning the basics through coaching and community gave him the confidence to finally take action—and why the “right room” can speed up your timeline by years. Jason walks through the early deals—including a first flip that turned into a brutal (but useful) education: old houses, plaster and lath surprises, scope creep, hard money pressure, and the reality of paying for mistakes. He breaks down how he funded projects (including hard money and a 401k loan), what he’d do differently now, and how his strategy evolved from heavy DIY to “do less, hire more.” We also get into what it looks like investing in today’s market—when properties don’t fly off the shelf in a weekend anymore. Jason explains why multiple exit strategies matter (flip, rental, midterm rental, etc.), how he handled a property that sat longer than expected, and what features can quietly kill demand even after a good rehab. And then there’s the townhome curveball: a deal that should’ve closed… until an HOA insurance problem nuked the finish line. Along the way, there are some classic REIA Radio moments—like randomly getting a call from the very coach being credited for the entire journey… while recording live. Because apparently the universe has a sense of humor.

#273: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
2025/12/22
In this Real Estate Rundown episode, Owen and Ted get into the practical side of AI—how tools like ChatGPT can help you spot your “zone of genius” (and your blind spots) so you can stop doing the work you secretly hate and start delegating like an adult. They share a solid prompt passed along from their buddy Colin Schwartz, compare “nice” AI vs “tell me the truth” AI, and talk about why unfiltered feedback can be a cheat code for business growth. They also drop a super practical landlord/flipper nugget: a cellular-based temp/humidity/power monitoring device you can use in vacant properties during winter so you don’t find out you lost heat after your pipes explode. Finally, they preview an upcoming episode with local Omaha investor Jason Woodward (and his son) and tease a conversation around “alternative flipping”—ways to flip assets that aren’t houses (boats, cars, furniture, etc.). If you got value from this one: Follow/subscribe to REIA Radio, share this episode with a friend, and comment what your zone of genius is (or the thing you’re finally going to stop doing).  You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-today Omaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIA Check out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen’s Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/ Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/ MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/ ...
#272: Navigating the Complex World of Real Estate Investing with Jay Kathol & Ashley Wells Part 2
2025/12/17
Jay and Ashley are back nearly 200 episodes after their first appearance, and they don’t sugarcoat what the last few years have looked like: raising a big family, trying to run a business together, and realizing how fast “life stuff” can spill into “work stuff.” They get real about what’s working right now in the market—Zillow Preferred leads, staying in front of past clients, and being consistent even when motivation is nowhere to be found. Then the conversation pivots into mentorship and networking: how asking for a simple coffee (or cigar) can change your entire trajectory, plus a “failing forward” segment that turns a painful multifamily experience into a legit lesson. They wrap with what it all comes back to: family support, unconditional love, and building something that lasts.
