#287: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Real Estate Rundown, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner look back on 2025—what went right, what got messy, and what they learned the hard way. They break down personal growth, why goal-setting actually matters (even when you don’t feel like doing it), and how community and networking keep you moving when motivation isn’t showing up.
They also talk through new business ventures, the reality of property management headaches, and why squeezing more value out of your current investments is often smarter than chasing the next shiny thing. The episode wraps with a clear, optimistic focus on what they’re building in 2026—and how self-reflection can be a real competitive advantage in real estate.
Key Topics Covered
- 2025 wins, lessons, and the stuff they’d rather not repeat
- Goal-setting that’s practical, not cheesy
- Community + networking as an “unfair advantage”
- New business ventures and decision-making from experience (and scars)
- Property management challenges and what they’d do differently
- Maximizing existing investments instead of constantly adding more
- Building momentum and clarity heading into 2026
If you got something from this episode, share it with one investor friend who needs a reset going into 2026.
