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.

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.

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.
