#289: 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 episode, Ted and Owen break down the chaos in the markets and what it might mean for real-world investors who prefer assets you can actually touch. They talk through big swings in gold, silver, and Bitcoin, and how shifting expectations around Federal Reserve leadership and interest-rate direction can ripple into everything from investor sentiment to real estate strategy.
From there, the conversation gets practical: the “fun” surprises that come with older buildings (like random code requirements and hidden infrastructure issues that only show up once you’re already committed). They walk through the decision-making math between spending money upfront to fix a problem properly versus paying ongoing operating costs that quietly crush building value over time.
Golden Nugget: If a contractor wants a big chunk of money upfront “for materials,” don’t hand them a blank check and hope for the best. Have them build the materials list/cart at a big-box store and you buy it directly—protects you from getting burned and keeps discounts in your pocket. Bonus: check Pro Desk pricing on larger orders and stack any REIA discounts where available.
Coming Up / Community: The guys preview Wednesday’s episode featuring Drew Tilner, plus upcoming Omaha-area events including the REIA Mastery Series session on self-storage with Fernando Angelucci and a March in-person event with Andrew Devlin.
