In this jam-packed episode of REIA Radio, Owen Dashner and Ted Kaasch take you behind the scenes of the chaotic Omaha REIA event featuring Stella Han. From tornado warnings and flight delays to sponsor cancellations, the night teetered on disaster—but somehow pulled through.
Ted shares the stress of scrambling when your keynote speaker’s flight keeps getting pushed and the weather threatens to shut everything down. He also jumps in with the infamous “Oma-dome” theory—Omaha’s mythical weather bubble that, once again, spared the city from the worst of the storm.
The conversation shifts to investor life lessons: Ted breaks down one of his trickiest conversion projects, where a botched electrical setup led to a costly pivot into midterm and Airbnb strategies. Owen walks through the real ROI of adding an egress window and turning a 2-bed into a 3-bed—how a $15K upgrade could add $30K+ in value.
They also tease next week’s episode with Kyle Aho—a humble powerhouse who quietly built 315 units by age 33 in a town of just 77,000 people. Owen and Ted reflect on how much you can accomplish when you stay focused, keep learning, and roll with the punches.
