Tired of watching cash flow slip through the cracks and flips turn into tuition? We dig into the operator’s playbook: how to stabilize rentals faster, build a right-sized property management team, and lean into new construction where execution is cleaner and margins are clearer. 

Then we tackle the classic dilemma: build your own property management team or hire third-party? You’ll hear the real cost stack at 100+ doors, where the scaling ceiling hits, and how to split field work, admin, leasing, and maintenance coordination without burning out or overpaying.

If you’ve wondered why some buyers are still overpaying for as-is homes, we share actual offers, ARV guardrails, and the price of wishful thinking. We talk novation-style options, when flips still make sense, and why we’re passing on thin spreads that don’t pay for risk. 

Most investors are fighting for scraps in crowded flips. We took a different path. Ryan, Chase, and new guest Justin Hilz breaks down his 0% seller-finance win in Annapolis: how he framed the seller’s tax problem, structured principal-only payments, and added a balloon for exit flexibility without taking a 7% mortgage on the chin.

From there, we zoom out to the market. Sub-$300k homes still fly, but move-up buyers are locked by 3% mortgages and bracing for payment shock. Looking for leverage without speculation? We also get tactical about financing new builds without bleeding interest—use creative lot terms, pay permits out of pocket, wait to trigger hard money until foundation, and only pay interest on draws.
