What if one small property could change your entire financial future?
In this episode of Yoked Podcast, Travis and Ingrid break down “The Duplex That Built Our Portfolio” — the little 1950s duplex in downtown Littleton that became the foundation of their real estate empire.

They share how they bought it in 2015 for $325,000 using private money, renovated it while living on one side, refinanced into an FHA loan, and later leveraged a $135K HELOC to fund flips, rentals, and lending deals — turning one humble property into over $750,000 in long-term gains and a 6,000% ROI.

This episode dives deep into:

  • How to use a HELOC to build long-term wealth

  • Lessons from property management and house hacking

  • Knowing when to sell and recycle equity

  • Creative financing, refinancing, and leveraging sweat equity

  • Why starting small in real estate still works — even in today’s market

Whether you’re a first-time investor, house hacker, or seasoned entrepreneur, this episode shows the power of starting where you are and thinking creatively about your portfolio.
