The Zero to 100 Real Estate Podcast

Everyone's complaining there are no deals. Travis added 160 units in Q1, all off-market, none of them ever listed. In this episode: – The park a broker spotted driving past every day, with the seller collecting cash rent door to door at $180 a pad in a $450 market – The owner-finance structure: backing into the seller's income needs on a 15-year amortisation, in at $17K a pad – Bought at $...

Most investors get wiped out at the top. Tim sold 17 properties with 52 tenants right into the 2005 peak, then walked away before the crash hit. If you've seen The Big Short, he lived it from the other side of the trade. It wasn't luck and it wasn't a guru prediction. It was a one-page report he'd been running since 1990, tracking homes listed, sold, expired and pending, graphed ev...

Most people think real estate investors are flush with cash. For the first decade, I owned millions of dollars in property and qualified for food stamps. That wasn't failure. It was the strategy. In this episode we get into the one decision that separates people who make money from people who build wealth , why the investors who hoard cash always lose the long game, and the quiet move we use t...

Social media glorifies the hustle of closing a new deal every single day. But buying properties just to hit an arbitrary unit count is the fastest way to bankrupt your real estate business.

Real estate gurus are out here waking up at 2am, doing cold plunges, launching companies, and quietly vaporizing their investors' money.

In this episode of the Zero to 100 podcast, Gabe, Mitch, and Travis get raw about the state of the real estate education industry. We break down how to spot the gurus...

Most investors are waiting for a great real estate deal to fall in their lap. It never will, and that's the whole problem. In this episode we break down why good deals are made, not found, and why the investors who keep waiting for the perfect property, the price drop, or the rate cut end up buying nothing for years. We get into the patience game almost nobody talks about, why investing is the...

I raise capital for real estate deals, and I'll say what most syndicators never will: my own passive investments have been garbage. In this episode we get uncomfortably honest about passive real estate investing, the LP vs GP question, and why so many high earners hand over six figures to an operator they heard on a podcast and end up wrecked. The deals we control have crushed the deals we pas...

We all know real estate goes up and to the right over the long term. But what happens in the short term when a massive wave of commercial debt suddenly resets at double the interest rate?

We discuss why some investors are about to get wiped out by the &#...

Losing $5,000 a month on a "proven" real estate strategy will break most investors. For Brenna, it was the exact wake up call she needed to abandon the crowded short-term rental market and pivot into one of the most lucrative and unsexy niches in commercial real estate: mobile home parks. In this episode from the Zero to 100 podcast vault, Elite Mastermind member Brenna breaks down her inc...

Is real estate a game of fear and greed?

The guys break down exactly how to pivot in a polarizing economy, why...

Most real estate investors don’t quit because real estate doesn’t work. They quit because they get stuck. A duplex here. A single-family rental there. Maybe five doors after five, ten, or even fifteen years. But still no real cash flow, no real freedom, and no meaningful control over their time. In this episode, we break down why so many investors stay small and what actually separates the people...

Most people think the ultimate goal of scaling a real estate portfolio is wealth or time freedom. If you dig deep enough into the "Seven Whys," you will find a much more primal driver at play. The real goal is control. In this episode of the Zero to 100 Tribe podcast, we peel back the layers on why the traditional American path of college, corporate jobs, and index funds is systematically...

Is your real estate strategy focused on the wrong numbers? In this episode of the Zero to 100 Tribe Podcast, we break down why chasing "door count" is a dangerous vanity metric that could leave you with zero cash flow.

In this episode, Gabe, Travis, and Mitch challenge traditional financial advice and reveal why bein...

When is enough enough? A lot of people chase a specific number: $10,000/month in cash flow, $10M net worth, 100 units, or the big exit. But what happens when you finally hit that goal and nothing magically changes? We break down why financial freedom is not just about buying businesses, accumulating real estate, or stacking more cash flow. It is about designing a life you actually want to live. We...

If you had to start your real estate journey over from scratch with zero properties but kept all your current knowledge, what would you buy first? Would you still start with a single family house or a duplex, or would you jump straight into commercial real estate (hint hint)? In this episode, we debate the fastest way to scale a massive portfolio. While starting small builds a great foundation and...

What would you do if you had to start over in real estate with only $100, no network, and no properties? In this episode, we'll break down the exact moves we’d make if we were dropped into a new city and had to build a real estate portfolio from scratch. No inheritance. No big savings account.

Graham Stephan owns millions in real estate, so why is he telling the winner of the MrBeast Games to stay away from it? After listening to the most recent Ice Coffee Hour with Tyler Lucas ($5.1M Beast Games winner), we noticed a dangerous trend. Graham is "sh**ting on" real estate based on his bad experiences with single-family homes in California. But for the elite investor, those "fa...
