About the show

The Kash & Dash Show is where real conversations happen around business, entrepreneurship, real estate, and the people behind it all. Hosted by Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner, this show goes deeper than the usual surface-level interview. We talk with investors, business owners, and high-level operators about the grind, the growth, the setbacks, the lessons, and the legacy they’re building. This is not just a deals podcast. It’s about the real person behind the business — what drives them, what they’ve learned, what they’re still figuring out, and what success has actually cost them along the way. Each week, you’ll hear honest interviews, unfiltered conversations, and the kind of stories you usually do not hear in a traditional business or real estate show. Grind. Growth. Legacy.

Dallin Cottle quit his job after being ordered to drive through a foot of snow. He went home, Googled “how to start a business,” and generated $600,000 in revenue during his first 10 months. Today, Dallin is the founder of Roar and helps business owners improve their marketing, operations, and use of AI.

This special episode of The Kash and Dash Show features a replay from Chris Pomerleau’s live presentation at Omaha REIA. Most real estate investors get stuck on one of two questions: “How do I make this deal work?” or “Where do I get the money?” Chris tackles both with a straightforward breakdown of creative financing, partnerships, hard money, and building a capital stack that actually makes sense.

In this episode, you’ll learn: How to structure deals that work on paper and in real life What goes into a real estate capital stack When hard money makes sense—and when it absolutely doesn’t How creative financing can help close difficult deals What private lenders look for before funding a project How to structure partnerships without creating future problems Why price and terms must be evaluated together How to use leverage without putting your entire business at risk What makes a deal structure repeatable and scalable Chris Pomerleau is a real estate attorney turned investor, co-founder of LeavenWealth, and a partner in hundreds of multifamily units across the Midwest. He also operates Liquid Lending, a private and hard-money lending company that funds flips and small multifamily projects.

#331: The Kash & Dash Show: Unscripted

Episode 331 of The Kash and Dash Show is completely unscripted—and this one goes everywhere. Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner catch up after missing a week of recording, starting with Owen’s family trip to Park City, Utah, where an Olympic bobsled ride turned into one of the wildest vacation experiences he’s had. Then things get back to real estate. Owen shares what happened when he tried to close on a new house while traveling, including mobile notaries, delayed documents, wire problems, sellers waiting on another closing, and the domino effect one delayed transaction can create. Ted also gives an update on the flip Owen brought to him on the podcast—and explains why completing another real estate deal somehow required him to buy a 2011 Ford Ranger with only around 56,000 miles. They also get into the side of real estate investing nobody puts on Instagram: failed AC units, broken sewer lines, contractors, surprise repair bills, rehab decisions, and tens of thousands of dollars disappearing almost overnight. It’s another real conversation about real estate, business, money, vacations, and everything that happens when the cameras normally aren’t rolling.

#330: He Bought a U.S. Rental Sight Unseen From Israel—and Built an Empire

What would make a 25-year-old engineer living in Israel buy a rental property in Phoenix without ever seeing it? Dani Beit-Or joins Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner to share how one sight-unseen purchase, sent to him through a blurry fax machine, launched a real estate career spanning more than two decades and thousands of transactions. Dani explains why he ignored the people who told him he was crazy, how his first rental helped fund additional properties, and what happened when the 2008 financial crisis cut the value of one of his homes by more than half. He also breaks down the hard lessons he learned from excessive leverage, negative cash flow, foreclosures, and surviving one of the worst housing crashes in modern history. The conversation also covers long-distance investing, self-managing rentals across the country, building better property-management systems, investing in “boring” markets, and why stable cash flow matters more than chasing the hottest deal. Dani also shares lessons from serving in the Israeli Special Forces, including mental toughness, laser focus, and the non-negotiable importance of integrity. Whether you live in an expensive market, are considering investing out of state, or are worried about buying before the next downturn, this episode shows what is possible with preparation, discipline, and the right team. Learn more about Dani and his real estate investing system through Simply Do It and listen to his podcast for additional investing strategies and lessons.

#329: The Kash & Dash Show: Unscripted

Artificial intelligence is evolving faster than anyone expected—but is it becoming too powerful to control? In Episode 329 of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner are joined by Dentlis Bertrand for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, cybersecurity, phone security, real estate investing, terrible candy, and one very questionable massage experience. Owen also gets brutally honest about a flip that is likely going to lose money. The property was purchased with limited exit options, the renovation took too long, and the finished home still is not attracting buyers. Ted and Owen break down what went wrong, whether the property could still work as a rental, and why investors should have multiple exit strategies before closing on any deal. The conversation then turns into a practical starter guide for new real estate investors. They discuss organizing your financial documents, building relationships with lenders and contractors, joining a local REIA, estimating renovation costs, practicing deal analysis, walking properties, and creating a clear buy box. Even experienced investors make expensive mistakes. The difference is whether you learn from them, adapt, and keep moving. Hosted by Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner.

#328: The Most Unbelievable Real Estate Journey We’ve Ever Heard with Alex Beltran

What do living in a truck near Malibu, selling multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills homes, cleaning an industrial egg-processing machine, backpacking across Europe, and investing in Omaha real estate have in common? They are all chapters in the unpredictable life of Alex Beltran. Alex joins Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner to share how growing up in California during the 2008 housing crash initially pushed him away from real estate. He eventually earned his license, moved toward Beverly Hills, and lived out of his truck so he could afford to pursue luxury real estate without burning through his savings. His journey did not stop there. Alex explains how working overnight at a high-end Beverly Hills hotel taught him the difference between simply renting a property and providing true hospitality. He also discusses purchasing rent-controlled California properties, recognizing the long-term financial problems, and deciding to sell before the numbers became worse. After stepping away, Alex traveled extensively, produced photography and video content for hotels, backpacked across Europe, and occasionally used Tinder to find a couch—or balcony—to sleep on. A midterm rental in Stockholm eventually inspired him to bring the furnished rental model back to Omaha. Today, Alex is involved in restaurants, midterm rentals, media production, endurance racing, and commercial real estate. He shares why he is now concentrating on commercial properties, working directly with businesses, and building investments that make sense without the emotion often involved in residential real estate. This episode covers taking risks, learning from failure, finding opportunity in unusual places, and designing a life around freedom rather than following a traditional path.

#327: The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted

Episode 327 of The Kash & Dash Show Unscripted proves that “passive income” can sometimes require a shocking amount of active work. Ted Kaasch breaks down the ongoing problems at his car wash, including failed payment systems, broken pumps, blown pressure lines, lost chemicals, expensive replacement parts, and a coin machine repair that required calling in an arcade technician. What looked like a straightforward investment has quickly turned into a costly lesson in operations, maintenance, and due diligence. Ted and Owen Dashner also answer a listener’s question about one of the biggest problems entrepreneurs and real estate investors face: chasing shiny objects. When every podcast guest, property type, or business opportunity sounds promising, how do you decide which ideas deserve your time and which ones are simply distractions? They discuss researching new asset classes, learning from experienced operators, investing alongside the right partners, and Owen’s rule that if an opportunity is not a “hell yes,” it is probably a no. Of course, this is Unscripted, so the conversation also includes Owen’s battle with a mole trap, wisdom teeth anesthesia, time travel, ancient pyramids, and a serious debate over how many kindergarteners they could defeat in a wrestling ring.

#326: How Cynthia Trammell Proved Everyone Wrong

Cynthia Trammell was a single mother raising triplet boys while working long hours in church ministry and struggling to make ends meet. When she decided to leave her stable job and pursue real estate, someone she trusted looked her in the eye and told her she would fail. She did it anyway. In Episode 326 of The Kash and Dash Show, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Cynthia—known as the “Mother of Multifamily”—to discuss how she went from knowing almost nothing about real estate to purchasing a commercial strip mall, building a multifamily portfolio, creating successful partnerships, and helping other investors take action. Cynthia breaks down how she purchased her first 16-unit property for $580,000, raised the money needed to complete the deal, doubled rents through strategic improvements, and refinanced the property in less than two years. She also explains why she prefers smaller multifamily properties in secondary and tertiary markets, how she manages properties located several hours away, and why strong relationships with brokers, property managers, and local banks can uncover opportunities most investors never see. The conversation also covers the mistakes that cost her money, including underestimating renovation expenses, the importance of managing your property managers, and why investors must maintain cash reserves even when a property is performing well. Beyond the numbers, Cynthia shares the emotional story of nearly losing one of her sons while she was preparing to close her first multifamily deal. She explains why she continued moving forward, how that property changed her family’s life, and why children do not simply inherit their parents’ portfolios—they inherit their patterns. This episode is about resilience, relationships, financial freedom, and refusing to let someone else decide what you are capable of accomplishing.

#325: The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted

In Episode 325 of The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted , Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner are joined by Denlis Bertrand for a conversation that goes in nearly every possible direction. Denlis breaks down the World Cup, controversial calls, passionate soccer fans, and what it has been like watching the United States, Canada, and Mexico host the tournament. Owen shares the awkward reality of filming scripted marketing videos, using a teleprompter for the first time, doing take after take, and realizing that content creators are usually their own harshest critics. He also reveals that he is officially buying a home in a golf-course community. The new house sits near the 13th hole, which naturally leads to questions about golf carts, neighborhood rules, future pool plans, and whether Owen will ever get any actual work done. Ted then brings up a real estate opportunity that Owen may be interested in buying. The two discuss touring the property, reviewing the numbers, and possibly negotiating the deal on a future episode. The conversation also covers Omaha REIA updates, anniversary projects, golf outings, customized golf carts, outdoor cooking, pancake-eating competitions, Pizza Hut challenges, Trinidadian doubles, and the correct way to eat pancakes.
