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

March 19, 2025 • Hosts - Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner, Producer - Denlis Bertrand • Season 1 • Episode 195

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.
