On this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Dylon Leslie, a quiet but gritty investor who built his real estate portfolio the hard way.

Dylon’s story starts in small-town Nebraska, where he bought his first house at just 20 years old and used roommates to help cover the bills. What started as a simple house hack turned into a long run of creative moves, including 11 house hacks, small-town rentals, 1031 exchanges, and a jump into multifamily investing.

Dylon shares how he went from single-family homes to owning 43 doors, why he focused heavily on Council Bluffs, how he self-manages his portfolio, and what it really takes to live off rental income without a traditional job. He also talks about sleeping in his truck during a renovation, getting help from family to take down a bigger deal, learning the hard way about systems, and why grit has been the biggest factor in his growth.

This episode is a real look at the grind behind building a rental portfolio. No flashy nonsense. No fake guru talk. Just a young investor figuring it out, making mistakes, pushing through, and building something real.

Ted and Owen are back for another Unscripted episode, and this one feels like two buddies picking right back up where they left off. They talk real life, real estate, rough weeks, family moments, travel, and the kind of childhood memories that stick with you forever.

Ted shares the highs and lows from closing four properties in a week while also dealing with expensive surprises at the car wash. Owen talks about life on the road, from Branson work trips to a Comic-Con weekend with his daughter that turned into one of those core memory moments every dad hopes for.

The conversation then takes a fun turn into childhood stories, old-school freedom, dumb things boys somehow survived, and the stuff that made growing up in the 80s and 90s unforgettable. They wrap it up with a little venting on city notices, contractor frustrations, car-buying games, and the kind of everyday stuff that just grinds your gears.

If you enjoy the show, share it with someone who’d get a laugh or a little value out of it. And if you’re a business owner, investor, or someone with a story worth telling, reach out through social or head to kashanddash.com.

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with J Scott for a wide-ranging conversation that goes way beyond real estate.

J shares the wild story of his World Series of Poker run, how a painful lesson in taxes opened his eyes to wealth-building, and why his background in tech helped shape the way he built his real estate business. The guys dig into the difference between working in your business versus actually thinking like a CEO, the real drivers of profit in flipping, and why so many investors stay stuck doing low-value work.

They also get into bigger-picture topics like relationship-building, personal brand, the current economy, what may be ahead for multifamily, and why J believes timing matters just as much as strategy. On the personal side, J opens up about family, raising entrepreneurial kids, and the story behind Smooch Cookie, the gifting business his wife built from scratch.

This one is part real estate, part business, part life, and exactly the kind of conversation we love having on this show. If you enjoy honest talk about building wealth, business, and a life that actually fits you, this episode is for you.
