#205: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted

In this episode of REIA Radio, the Real Estate Rundown crew — Owen Dashner, Ted Kaasch, and the ever-mysterious Aiden Bear — return for a no-holds-barred conversation about the current economic landscape and how it’s shaking up short-term rentals. Ted breaks down his Airbnb struggles, slashed prices, and why the economy’s weird vibes might be scaring off spring break travelers.

Owen dives deep into the recent wild ride in the stock and bond markets, the impact of China dumping U.S. bonds, and how tariffs are playing whack-a-mole with your portfolio. They also dish on cryptocurrency (spoiler: not fans), and unpack why the U.S. dollar might be losing its shine.

Next, they shift gears into a vulnerable conversation about partnerships, capital raising, and a little thing called “skin in the game.” Ted opens up about past business failures, including a limo bus company that left him empty-handed, and why he’s rethinking how he structures future deals. They also explore the legalities and mindset behind becoming a capital raiser — and why it might be Ted’s next move.

Golden Nugget alert: the guys go full pest control with a detailed breakdown of how to spot termite damage (because one of them may or may not have spoken termites into existence — sorry, Owen). Whether you're an investor, landlord, or just trying not to get eaten alive by insects, this segment alone is worth the listen.
