Today, Todd sits down with Tony Acosta—real estate pro, entrepreneur, and team leader—to dig into what it really takes to lead a successful sales team.

Because let’s face it—anyone can read a book or take a course, but if you never execute, you’re just spinning your wheels. If you want real results, it’s time to step up.

If you’re looking to level up, it’s not just about learning—it’s about taking action. Too many people get stuck in the cycle of gathering knowledge but never making the moves that actually create success. You can’t worry about what others are doing. You have to be patient, but that doesn’t mean standing still. It means doing the right things, talking to the right people, and focusing on the actions that drive real results. So, are you ready to stop waiting and start doing?

In this episode, Todd Dexheimer dives into the debate of A & B class properties vs. C & D class properties and why chasing the highest cash flow isn’t always the smartest strategy. While lower-class properties may offer bigger returns on paper, they often come with higher risks, management challenges, and long-term stability concerns. Todd breaks down what investors should really focus on when acquiring properties, how to balance cash flow vs. asset appreciation, and the importance of building a sustainable, wealth-generating portfolio.
