  • #198: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
    Mar 31 2025

    In this lively and raw episode of the Real Estate Rundown, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner bring you a mix of landlord tales, mindset breakthroughs, and behind-the-scenes investor banter you won’t hear anywhere else.

    Ted kicks things off with a recap of his epic St. Patrick’s Day tradition—which involves 17 shots, group bar chants, and somehow still showing properties the next day. Meanwhile, Owen dives into a real-life Airbnb horror story involving identity theft, $1,000 in damages, and someone deliberately cutting power to escape security cams. 😳

    From evicting a mentally unstable tenant to tackling guests with rap sheets longer than lease agreements, the guys dig into the not-so-glamorous realities of real estate. But they don’t leave it there—they also serve up strategies to shift your mindset, take action, and find opportunity even in chaos.

    They also drop hints about an upcoming multifamily bootcamp in Omaha, featuring top-tier speakers and limited to just 200 attendees. If you're looking to scale up from single-family to multifamily investing, this is the event to watch.

  • #197: Loretta McNally’s 35-Year Journey Through Rentals, Regulations, and Real Estate Resilience
    Mar 26 2025

    In Episode 197 of The Real Estate Rundown, we sit down with long-time investor and realtor Loretta McNally, who takes us on a candid journey through 35+ years of owning and managing single-family rentals. From her very first $15,000 South Omaha rental in 1990 to managing 31 doors and now scaling down to focus on her real estate agent career, Loretta shares valuable insights on everything from Section 8 housing and lead-based paint compliance to pest control nightmares, political beginnings, and her recent pivot to Airbnb.

    This episode isn’t just about the wins. Loretta shares a few of the “fail forward” moments—including buying a property with missing tenants, living through bat and bed bug infestations, and the time she realized her mother couldn’t remember the address if she disappeared checking a vacant unit. You'll also hear about the reality of being a hands-on landlord, what it's like being audited by the EPA, and why even the best tenants sometimes move out before you’re ready.

    Whether you're new to rentals, thinking about Section 8, or just need a healthy dose of real estate humor and heart—this one’s for you.

  • #196: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
    Mar 24 2025

    In this no-holds-barred episode of The Real Estate Rundown, Owen and Ted dive deep into one of the most controversial topics in multifamily investing: tenant unions. What starts as a recap of a meeting with local investor Jerry Banks quickly snowballs into an intense discussion about tenant demands, rent control, deferred maintenance, and how landlords can (and should) respond.

    From fire escapes and pest control to lead-based paint testing and moratoriums on rent hikes—Ted and Owen break down the union's bold 16-point list of demands. But it doesn’t stop there. They also bring in their producer Aiden for a tenant’s perspective, explore landlord obligations, legal gray areas, and ultimately ask: what can landlords do to avoid a tenant revolt?

    Things get personal as Owen shares a heartfelt story about his late brother-in-law and the challenge of honoring his final wishes when it comes to donated possessions. This episode wraps up with a Golden Nugget—practical tips and shoutouts to local Omaha nonprofits who make property cleanouts and donations easier for landlords and flippers alike.

    It’s funny, raw, emotional, and packed with real estate gold.

  • #195: The Fire Method? Jeffery Hansen’s Bold Moves in Real Estate Investing
    Mar 19 2025

    Jeffery Hansen’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From barely graduating high school to serving as a medic in the military, Jeff found structure, purpose, and discipline during his service. But after eight years, he knew it was time to move on. Transitioning from the military to civilian life, Jeff dabbled in bartending and hospitality before finding his true calling—real estate investing.

    In this episode, Jeff shares how he went from fixing up his own house as a way to grieve his father’s passing to building a real estate portfolio that includes halfway houses, rental properties, and large-scale commercial buildings. He opens up about the challenges of managing properties for tenants in transitional housing, how he structured creative financing deals for multifamily acquisitions, and his latest venture—a $3.9 million commercial property in downtown Omaha.

    If you’ve ever considered investing in unique asset classes, using VA and FHA loans strategically, or leveraging partnerships to scale, Jeff’s story is packed with insights. Plus, we discuss the realities of managing halfway houses, the importance of cash flow, and why patience is key when scaling a real estate business.
