The Kash & Dash Show
The Kash & Dash Show is where real conversations happen around business, entrepreneurship, real estate, and the people behind it all. Hosted by Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner, this show goes deeper than the usual surface-level interview. We talk with investors, business owners, and high-level operators about the grind, the growth, the setbacks, the lessons, and the legacy they’re building.
This is not just a deals podcast. It’s about the real person behind the business — what drives them, what they’ve learned, what they’re still figuring out, and what success has actually cost them along the way.
Each week, you’ll hear honest interviews, unfiltered conversations, and the kind of stories you usually do not hear in a traditional business or real estate show.
Grind. Growth. Legacy.

#204: Flipping the Worst Houses with Kyle Aho
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a former D1 basketball player and physical therapist trades in his scrubs for a sledgehammer? You get Kyle Aho—real estate investor, small-town renovator, and baby-making machine (he’s got three kids and counting). In this episode, Kyle joins Ted and Owen to break down how he went from buying a $25K duplex in college to running a vertically integrated company with over 315 units in Northern Michigan.
Kyle shares how he and his business partner Caleb built their empire in a market of just 75,000 people by focusing on the properties nobody wanted—the hoarder houses, the condemned, the ones with literal buckets of human waste in the basement (yeah, he tells that story). Learn how they scaled with flips, built in-house crews, avoided over-leveraging early on, and created an operation that offers not just housing—but opportunity.
🟡 Golden Nugget: The biggest wins often come from buying the worst houses—because if it needs everything, every small thing you don’t need is a win.
