In Episode 299, Ted and Owen close out the Real Estate Rundown era with a mix of humor, reflection, and real talk about business, real estate, and what is ahead for the podcast. Ted shares a frustrating city code violation tied to one of his long-held rental properties, which leads into a broader conversation about the realities of owning property over time and the random headaches that come with it.

The episode also takes a fun turn as the guys talk through other topics they could easily build a show around outside of real estate, including Mustangs, fantasy baseball, politics, movies, nightlife, and more. They also get into AI and how tools like Claude can help investors analyze multifamily deals, move faster on underwriting, and spot opportunities in a changing market.

This episode is a mix of looking back, laughing a little, and setting the stage for what is next. Ted and Owen also let listeners know that the next episode will feature their upcoming guest, Mike York.

In Episode 298 of REIA Radio, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Jeff Ahern for a real and powerful conversation about resilience, reinvention, and building a life by design.

Jeff shares his journey from growing up in Alaska and serving in the Marines to suffering a life-changing parachuting injury that forced him out of the military after 12 years. What felt like the end of everything became the beginning of a completely new path. Jeff opens up about the dark season that followed, the struggle of losing his identity, and how he and Megan rebuilt their lives through real estate.

This episode dives into how they got started investing, why they chose Lincoln, Nebraska, how they lived in a travel trailer behind their early projects, and how they built a real estate business that eventually gave them the freedom to spend a year living in Maui. Jeff also talks about health, recovery, family, systems, entrepreneurship after military life, and the mindset shift that helped turn one of the worst moments of his life into one of the greatest blessings.

This is a strong episode for anyone navigating change, chasing freedom, or trying to build something meaningful from the ground up.
