Thinking about ground-up development? This episode might save you years—and millions.

In this one, Rich sits down with Austin Schmidt, a real estate developer who’s lived through the chaos, wins, and war stories of building multifamily from scratch. From fighting the city to getting permits approved to making deals pencil after rising interest rates, Austin lays out the full, unfiltered blueprint for anyone who wants to get into development and actually win.

They cover:

• Why most developers quit after their first deal (and how to survive it)
• What makes a city “developer-friendly” (and the red flags to watch for)
• How to raise capital for your first ground-up project
• The difference between theoretical spreadsheets and real-world construction delays
• Why Austin still bets on development—and where he’s building next

If you’re even thinking about going vertical, this is the 67 minutes you need.

Let’s get into it.

Shipping container homes. Floating hotels. Golf-course-turned-micro-resorts. This is the future of travel—and it’s rewriting the rules for real estate investors.

In this Saturday edition, Rich links up with Isaac French to explore how unique stays are disrupting the hospitality game and creating wildly profitable investment opportunities. From viral builds to zoning loopholes, they break down what’s working right now and how to get in early.

They dive into:

• How one guy turned $20K shipping containers into a $1K/night Airbnb and 1.5M followers
• Why floating homes are skirting hotel regulations—and crushing waterfront returns
• The ROI power of landscaping (and how it can beat depreciation)
• What to do with dead golf courses, empty land, and old RV parks
• How to build a stay so unique, it becomes a brand

If you’re bored of duplexes and cookie-cutter STRs, this is your permission slip to think way bigger.

Let’s build something worth talking about.
