#269: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted

In this episode of REIA Radio, Owen and Ted kick things off with Thanksgiving chaos—bad smokers, ceiling fans from hell, and why home projects always take twice as long as you think. From there, they shift into real estate mode, talking through appraisal delays on Ted’s car wash deal and how that impacts loan timelines and decision-making.

They also break down the real value of REIA membership, including Home Depot discounts, national sponsor perks, and why most investors are quietly leaving money on the table by not using the benefits they already pay for. Ted shares the upcoming Omaha REIA price increase and how to lock in the lower rate before it changes.

To wrap it up, they tease an upcoming follow-up interview with past guests Jay Kathol and Ashley Wells—diving into how much can change in just a few years, what went right, what went wrong, and how their portfolio and perspective have grown since their first appearance.
