Ted Kaasch officially closed on another car wash—but buying the property was the easy part. Now he has to bring a condemned business back to life, navigate commercial financing, and turn a property that has been closed for three years into a profitable operation. If the plan works, the project could create as much as $100,000 in equity.

Ted and Owen break down the challenges of using the BRRRR strategy on commercial real estate, why smaller community banks can sometimes offer more flexibility, and how AI helped organize years of bank statements, deposits, expenses, and personal financial information into professional reports for lenders.

Owen also shares an emotional experience showing his lake house to a potential buyer, the guys reveal some of their funniest and most uncomfortable podcast moments, and they preview an upcoming interview with the “Key Fob King,” JJ Feregrino.

Ben Harral’s story is about much more than real estate.

In this raw and honest conversation, Ben opens up about growing up around rental properties, struggling with addiction, serving time in prison, and the difficult road that led him to 12 years of sobriety. He shares how his choices affected his marriage and family, why recovery remains a daily battle, and what keeps him moving forward when life knocks him down again.

Ben also discusses his work with Safe Exit Egress Windows, the mistakes investors make when cutting corners, and how modular homes could help create more affordable housing in the Omaha area.

If you’re struggling, rebuilding, or wondering whether it’s too late to change your life, this episode is worth hearing. As Ben says, it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down—it matters whether you get back up today.

This episode goes off the rails—and that is putting it mildly.

Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner debate their final meals, share the story of a missing cat with a secret hiding spot, uncover three dumpsters of surprises inside a newly purchased property, and discuss the strange things that happen while flipping houses.

Ted also previews an upcoming conversation about addiction, prison, recovery, and what it takes to remain sober for 12 years. Then Owen tells a gym bathroom story nobody was prepared to hear, followed by Ted’s encounter with a suspected gym creeper.

This is The Kash & Dash Show Unscripted: real stories, questionable decisions, and absolutely nothing off the table.
