In this episode of REIA Radio, we’re joined once again by Megan Ahern for a candid deep dive into what’s working—and what’s not—in real estate today. From scaling her “First Deal” program to attending high-ticket masterminds, Megan shares tactical strategies, personal growth reflections, and marketing ideas that any investor can apply.
We talk about:
- The power of networking events like Coffee & Cap Rates and REIA meetups
- How masterminds (yes, even the $65K ones) can compress learning and drive revenue
- The real impact of stepping away from daily operations—and letting your spouse step in
- Marketing insights from Justin Silverio and why Megan’s team chooses pay-per-lead over postcards
- Hiring smarter: Megan’s exact process for weeding out unqualified applicants before they waste her time
- The true cost (and hidden productivity gains) of cutting back on alcohol
- Why giving your kids experiences—not gifts—can build deeper family bonds
The episode wraps up with a teaser for next week’s interview with Justin Silverio of Invelo, plus a golden nugget about building a top-tier team by hiring for grit, not resumes.
