The Kash & Dash Show

Would Collin Schwartz build a property management company from zero to more than 3,000 units again? Absolutely. Would he do it the same way? That’s where Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner get him talking.

On episode 367 of The Kash and Dash Show, Collin joins Ted and Owen for a bonus round of Build With Operators. He figures his bets on other people’s ideas cost him a Ferrari’s worth of education. So what would he pay closer attention to today? For starters, the money a business leaves on the table after somebody’s already raised their hand. Colin shares the story of a photographer who booked half the leads she spoke with. The catch? Half the people who reached out never heard back.

For landlords, he puts it just as plainly. Your rental has been listed for 14 days. Zero applications. Who notices, and what do they do next? The guys dig into where AI can flag a problem, where a person still needs to make the call, and how to get those decisions out of the owner’s head so the team can act.

Vlad Mirochnik wanted one particular 24-unit apartment complex in Rochester. He found the owner on Facebook, got a broker involved, and worked out a deal. Then one of the three buildings burned down. Vlad renegotiated and kept going. By the time the second fire was out, he had eight apartments left. Nobody was paying rent in any of them.

On episode 366 of The Kash and Dash Show, Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner dig into the part most investors would want to skip. What made the deal worth saving after the first fire? What did it take to get tenants back into the last eight units? And how did a grant meant to help pay for the rebuild wind up costing him nearly two years?

Vlad also gets into how he decides what a building is worth long before it goes up for sale. On one Rochester property, he estimated the appraisal two years before he bought it. He was off by just $6,000.

Looking for someone to talk through your next deal with? Take Vlad’s lead and show up for a local investor coffee meetup. If there isn’t one that works for you, grab one other investor and pick a morning. That’s how the Rochester group got its start.

A wedding venue on 40 wooded acres in Union, Nebraska, is asking $1 million. Couples have already called about 2027, but the sellers are holding off on taking bookings. So what’s that calendar worth to the next owner?

On this Unscripted episode of The Kash and Dash Show, Dennis Bertrand brings Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner a deal he’s considering. Dennis sees weddings, glamping, and ATV trails. Ted calls the listing agent, and the questions get practical fast. Where do the wedding guests sleep? How many weekends can you book in Nebraska without heat or AC? And after you pay someone to run the place, what’s left for you?

Then Owen shares how a $180,000 cash-out refinance on seven rentals nearly cost him $14,000 in prepayment penalties alone. He explains what happened when he took the competing offer back to his bank and why he walked away with one house free and clear.

Watch on YouTube and tell us in the comments what you’d offer for those 40 acres. And if Owen’s loan paperwork sounds a little too familiar, check out our eight-week Build With Operators AI series.

If AI wrote the offer on your next property, would you put your name on it? One investor at the table used AI to draft a purchase agreement, reviewed it himself, and cut a 90-minute job down to 10. But what happens when you walk the property and spot something the paperwork missed?

On Episode 364 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner sit down with Collin Schwartz and Neal Galas for Week 8 of Build With Operators. We debate which jobs we’d steer our own kids toward, where AI already saves investors time, and why getting a seller to tell you what they actually need is still a skill worth learning.

We also get into a bank’s pitch to sell $6 million in debt backed by $10 million in real estate. Sounds like a steal until you realize what you’d actually own. Then we bring it back to a question almost every new investor faces: What do you do when you find a deal but don’t have the balance sheet to close it?

Try this after you listen. Ask someone close to you, “Who’s the smartest person you know, and would you introduce me?” One of those conversations led to a deal. Yours can start over coffee.

Male dancer. Army helicopter pilot. X-ray engineer. Business owner. Real estate investor. Jefferson Calloway’s résumé needs its own episode.

On this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner sit down with Jefferson to unpack the unconventional path that led him to business ownership and 30 rental doors across seven states.

Jefferson shares how he and his partner bought a construction company for $1.6 million with no construction background—and how hiring support helped grow annual revenue from roughly $2 million to $4–5 million. His approach: generate income through businesses, then use that money to build a real estate portfolio.

But this isn’t just a highlight reel. Jefferson opens up about the Turo rental business he walked away from, the debt that makes buying businesses risky, and the accident that broke both of his legs and changed his perspective.

Jefferson’s challenge: turn motivation into one bold move. Pursue a deal, start building a business, or take the next step you’ve been putting off.

A car wash sounds like easy cash flow—until the wrong business name shows up on your brand-new sign.

On this unscripted episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner get into the real work behind buying, fixing, and running small businesses. Ted shares updates on his second car wash, why he’s targeting $100,000 in annual gross revenue, and why he’s passing on deals that look great on paper but are too far from home.

They break down finding value-add opportunities, reinvesting profits, and proving a business works before buying the next one. Plus, the show’s producer shares how a $5,000 coaching investment led to a business pivot—and why fear of cold calling is holding him back.

Your properties are supposed to make you money. So why are you still buried in utility bills, insurance notices, and an inbox that never quits?

In Week 7 of Build With Operators on The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner join Collin Schwartz to discuss how AI can help real estate investors turn everyday headaches into better business systems.

The conversation starts with cybersecurity concerns, emergency preparedness, and how dependent we’ve become on technology. Then it gets personal: Ted’s inbox is eating his time, and Owen is tired of chasing utility bills and matching insurance policy numbers to properties. Sound familiar?

Collin shares how he used recorded mastermind conversations, Plaud, and Claude to create outreach materials, action plans, and introductions during a 15-minute break. Owen also explains how automating his weekly market report replaced roughly two hours of research and preparation.

The challenge: Pick one recurring task that frustrates you this week. Map out the problem, gather the information, and take the first step toward fixing it.

A vacation rental near Disney sounds like a dream investment—until the income doesn’t cover the bills.

On this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with investor, Realtor, and former sonographer Amber Bess for an honest conversation about making money, making mistakes, and knowing when to walk away.

Amber shares how her first flip delivered a $48,000 profit despite live termites, a sewage backup, and a renovation budget that jumped from $50,000 to $86,000. But the wins didn’t make her immune to a bad deal. She breaks down why her Florida Airbnb became a money pit, how the income fell short of expectations, and why finally selling it felt like freedom.

Amber also introduces Aligned and Unhinged, her podcast with Rachel Vaida and Jamie Flanagan, covering real estate, business, mindset, and life.

Connect with Amber about the five-bedroom Papillion rental she mentioned in the episode, subject to availability.

The easy money crowd is getting a reality check. Repairs cost real money, deals take work, and the strategy that worked yesterday might not work tomorrow.

Ted shares what’s really happening with his Louisville and Yutan car washes—from a $1,700 paint purchase to rebuilding a property that has been shut down for three years. He explains why he’s taking the Yutan location cashless, the upgrades he’s making, and his plan to refinance and use equity to improve his other location.

Owen breaks down recent deals that show there’s still opportunity in this market, including a rental purchased for $85,000 and sold for $149,000. The guys also discuss a $250,000 laundromat opportunity that slipped away, their concerns about the direction of wholesaling regulation, and why relationships and follow-through still help investors find deals.

There are still deals out there. The question is whether you’re prepared to recognize them—and follow through.

Still chasing paperwork, writing every follow-up, and trying to remember a hundred little tasks? You might be doing work AI could already help take off your plate.

In Week 6 of our AI Series, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner welcome back Neil Gallus of Build With Operators to discuss practical ways business owners and real estate investors can put AI to work.

But there’s a catch: “Just automate it” isn’t a strategy. Neil explains why better instructions, the right business information, and clear guardrails need to come before the bots.
