The Ricky Ricardo Show
The Ricky Ricardo Show documents the real journey of building financial freedom through real estate, leverage, and better decision-making — in real time.
Hosted by Ricky Ricardo, this podcast goes behind the scenes of deals, mistakes, wins, setbacks, and the mental shifts required to grow beyond a W-2 paycheck.
From rental properties and flips to funding strategies, liquidity, and long-term thinking, this isn’t guru talk — it’s what actually happens when regular people take real risks and learn as they go.
If you’re interested in real estate, money, mindset, and creating more control over your future, you’re in the right place.

Episode 74: The Wire Is the Test
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Closing is Friday and I haven’t wired the $52,000 yet.
This deal was supposed to require just over $20K. Then the appraisal hit. Now I’m being asked to bring more than double that amount to the table.
In this episode, I talk through the real tension investors don’t post — the moment before the wire. The emotional side of deploying capital. Rerunning numbers. Stress testing downside. And deciding whether discipline means moving forward… or walking away.
The deal isn’t the test.
The wire is.
