On this episode of The Roots Podcast, Tyler Lingle and Max Moore sit down with Tadd Miller, co-founder and CEO of Milhaus, a $5B+ real estate firm reshaping urban neighborhoods. 

Tadd breaks down why running a 1-unit deal vs. a 200-unit deal isn’t as different as people think - and what that means if you actually want generational wealth, not just a handful of rentals.

He shares why he sold off his single-family portfolio, how to think about scale vs. “starter” deals, and when high-income professionals should stop buying more houses and start backing the right operators instead.

Struggling to figure out if a 50-year mortgage is a brilliant affordability hack or a disaster for buyers and the housing market? Wondering why Dave Ramsey is furious while investors are quietly excited?

In this episode of The Roots Podcast, Indianapolis real estate experts Max Moore and Tyler Lingle break down the real math behind a potential 50-year mortgage—how much it actually changes your payment, what it does to your total interest, who it really helps, and why it could supercharge appreciation while crushing long-term affordability.

Here’s what we cover:
• 30-year vs 50-year mortgage payment and interest comparisons
• How a 50-year loan could change investor cash flow and qualification
• Why this might boost prices more than it boosts true affordability
• The “use it as a bridge then refi” strategy (and its risks)
• What a 50-year mortgage could mean for first-time buyers in the next cycle

Struggling to make sense of the Indianapolis real estate market right now? You’re not alone. In this recap episode of The Roots Podcast, hosts Max Moore and Tyler Lingle unpack their biggest takeaways from Episode 31 with Steve Lehman — The Grumpy Real Estate Investor.

From his brutally honest takes on flips, BRRRRs, and the current Indy market, to his unfiltered advice on what not to buy, Steve’s perspective left the guys both challenged and inspired. Max and Tyler dive into:

- Why the Indy market feels so tight — and what’s still actually working.

- The one investment strategy Steve says is worth your time (and why).

- Their candid debate on New Group vs. Louisville/Cincy multifamily.

- The surprising Indy pocket Steve says is still undervalued.

- A fresh new segment: Roots Ranks — and where real estate lands on Steve’s list.

PLUS: The guys talk about how they’re personally adjusting their strategies heading into winter, from medium-term rentals (MTRs) to stacking cash for the next wave of opportunities.

Struggling to figure out whether new construction duplexes are worth it? Wondering if buying brand-new in Indianapolis actually cash flows—or if you’re better off sticking with the old 100-year “deals”?

Here’s what we cover:

- Micro-market insight: how being two streets off can change your ROI.
- Mid-term vs. long-term rentals on new builds—and which wins right now.

Struggling with when to buy your next property—or whether it’s smarter to wait? In this minisode of The Roots Podcast, real estate experts Max Moore and Tyler Lingle recap their conversation with Sib Sheikh, one of the most macro-minded investors they’ve ever interviewed.

Sib’s perspective flips the usual “just get your first deal” advice on its head. Instead, he emphasizes discipline, patience, and capital allocation—teaching why sometimes the best move is not to force a deal.

Here’s what we cover:
- Why preserving capital can be more powerful than rushing into a property
- How sweat equity jobs can open bigger doors than a rushed first flip
- The importance of timing, market cycles, and relational wealth
- Lessons Max & Tyler are applying from Sib’s investing approach
