This episode is a little different.

Instead of staying mostly in principles and paradigm shifts, we’re pulling back the curtain on the actual financial HOWs behind our lifestyle: real estate, creative financing, and negotiation — with real numbers, real deals, and real discomfort.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Okay, but how are you actually doing this?”

…this is the episode where we show you.

Chase walks through several properties they’ve purchased, how they structured the deals, how the rent and equity have changed over time, and why want match + surrender matter just as much as the spreadsheets.

Important note: These are our hows, not prescriptions. Your hows and your miracles will look different. The point is to expand your sense of what’s possible, not to copy-paste our exact path.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Hear About:

• Why want match matters more than “good ideas”
• Without a true want match, the discomfort required for growth is usually unsustainable — especially in finances.

• Three real properties and what they’ve actually done financially:

• Entity structure & tax advantages (high-level):

• Creative finance tools you may have never considered:

• The Costa Rica biological preserve negotiation story:

• Location vs. property type specialization

⚠️ Quick Disclaimer

Nothing in this episode is financial, tax, or legal advice. It’s a peek into our story and our hows. Always consult your own professionals and your own relationship with God as you choose your path.
