#233: The Real Estate Rundown with Owen and Ted

In this episode of REIA Radio, we’re joined once again by Megan Ahern for a candid deep dive into what’s working—and what’s not—in real estate today. From scaling her “First Deal” program to attending high-ticket masterminds, Megan shares tactical strategies, personal growth reflections, and marketing ideas that any investor can apply.

We talk about:

The power of networking events like Coffee & Cap Rates and REIA meetups
How masterminds (yes, even the $65K ones) can compress learning and drive revenue
The real impact of stepping away from daily operations—and letting your spouse step in
Marketing insights from Justin Silverio and why Megan’s team chooses pay-per-lead over postcards
Hiring smarter: Megan’s exact process for weeding out unqualified applicants before they waste her time
The true cost (and hidden productivity gains) of cutting back on alcohol
Why giving your kids experiences—not gifts—can build deeper family bonds
The episode wraps up with a teaser for next week’s interview with Justin Silverio of Invelo, plus a golden nugget about building a top-tier team by hiring for grit, not resumes.
