Are you tired of the same old, same old podcast?
Listening to an endless string of interviews with the same stories that you have heard 1,000’s of times?
Then you MUST meet Dwanderful!
Dwan Bent-Twyford, America’s Most Sought-After Real Estate Investor™, started as a broke, single mom who had been fired from Denny’s.
Having nowhere to go but UP, she climbed her way to the top of the real estate investing food chain owning rentals, commercial buildings, becoming an International trainer, a best-selling author several times over, and much more!
When Dwan turned 60 she decided it was time to release her special brand of crazy onto the world of podcasting.
With her crazy pink hair, unfiltered style, and 30 years of real estate investing, Dwan decided to start a fun, lively, and extremely educational podcast and the exciting world of DWANDERFUL was created!
Not only is her podcast great, she is everyone’s favorite guest! You haven’t lived until you have listened to Dwan! There is NO topic that is off limits!
Not only is Dwan everyone’s favorite investor, she is down-right hilarious! She and her interviewers have a hard time keeping it together at times with all of the fun bantering back and forth..lol!
Having flipped over 2,000 deals herself she is more than qualified to share her vast knowledge of real estate investing with America.
Dwan is affectionately known as the “Queen of Short Sales®” and is considered to be the Nation’s #1 Expert on Short Sales & Foreclosures.
In fact, Dwan wrote the FIRST short sale, real estate investing program for investors back in the 90’s and went on to coin and trademark this terminology as well as present the Short Sale concept to the real estate investing world!
She has written three best sellers, “Short Sale Pre-Foreclosure Investing” & “How to Sell a House When It’s Worth Less Than the Mortgage”, her most recent New York Times best seller was written with Steve Forbes…SuccessOnomics.
She is highly sought after and has been featured on Fox and Friends, MSNBC, Naomi’s Good Morning, Colorado and Company, and many other TV, radio, 100’s of podcasts, and print medias.
In a market dominated by men, Dwan has certainly made her mark! Her goal never changes – to make a difference in the lives of others!

A real estate career can look unstoppable right up until it doesn’t, and that is where the real lessons live. We sit down with Lawrence Dunning to unpack a journey that moves from high-income trading to a five-year pro MMA run, then into Chicago real estate investing, brokerage, and ground-up development. Along the way, he shares what happens when a partnership implodes during COVID, money gets trapped, lawsuits appear, and you still have to show up and rebuild for your family and your future.
We get specific about new construction development versus rehabs, why “surprises behind the drywall” make rehab budgets risky, and how builders think in repeatable systems once they know their numbers. We also talk opportunity zones and up-and-coming neighborhoods, where developers bet on block-by-block change while managing tight margins, rising construction costs, and shifting buyer demand. If you are trying to break into development, you will hear practical guidance on finding a mentor, building a reliable team, and underwriting for multiple outcomes.
Then we zoom out to the mindset that holds everything together: patience with long-term goals, resisting social media comparison, protecting your attention, and modeling healthy screen habits for kids. Lawrence shares the books that shaped his thinking, and we end on a simple word with real power: gratitude. Subscribe, share this with an investor friend, and leave a five-star review. What is your non-negotiable backup plan when the market turns?

Most houses can be “nice” and still be totally forgettable. That’s why I loved talking with Denver real estate broker and developer Athena Brownson about the difference between building a home that simply checks boxes and creating a property people instantly remember.
Athena shares how she’s spent 13 years in residential real estate by specialising in relationships, not gimmicks, and how that trust turns into a referral-driven business. We dig into her move into luxury residential development with her father, and why she’s so determined to avoid the characterless white box trend. If you’re a builder, developer, or house flipper, you’ll hear specific ideas on sourcing finishes, making design choices that stand out, and why you don’t always need a bigger budget to create a better product. We also talk staging with a twist: estate sales and one-of-a-kind pieces that add history and personality without inflating costs.
Then the conversation takes a turn into something more personal and, honestly, more important: invisible illness. We talk openly about rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, brain fog, fatigue, and what it takes to keep showing up for clients, family, and yourself. Athena’s word of wisdom is “grit” and we unpack it as the art of showing up, even when it’s hard.

Most people say they want a franchise, but what they really mean is “I want a proven path to business ownership without living inside a restaurant.” That’s exactly why we brought on Jon Ostenson of FranBridge Consulting to unpack the world of non-food franchising and show how broad the franchise landscape really is. We talk about why so many great opportunities are hidden in plain sight, and why the businesses that sound the least exciting can be the ones with the steadiest demand.
We get practical about money and structure. Jon breaks down typical all-in investment ranges for retail-style concepts versus service-based franchises, plus the real-world funding paths buyers use, including SBA loans and ROBS retirement rollovers. We also dig into the “semi-involved” model people call semi-absentee, what it takes to make it work, and why having the right operator and incentives matters more than chasing a brand name.
Then we go deeper on diligence and fit. Jon explains how to vet a franchise beyond glossy rankings, what to look for in leadership teams and support, and how talking to existing franchisees and reviewing the franchise disclosure document helps you see the full picture. Along the way, we explore categories like home services, seniors, B2B services, and even offbeat concepts that thrive because people love to outsource what they hate.
If you’re curious about franchise opportunities that are not fast food, listen through to the end, share this with a friend who’s ready to leave corporate, and subscribe, share, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

We break down what an investor friendly mortgage broker actually does and why it can be the difference between a dead deal and a closed deal. We also get real about rehab timelines, underwriter pushback, and the “weekend warrior” trap that quietly wrecks budgets.
• why a mortgage broker adds flexibility by shopping 50 plus lenders
• how the 2022 rate jump pushed lenders toward investor loan products
• what DSCR and fix and flip financing look like in real life
• why underwriters hesitate on first time investors and how we document the deal
• 12 month interest only rehab loans plus sell or refinance options and extensions
• why DIY rehabs often fail on time, permits, and true labor and material costs
• the three first steps before buying a rehab: credit, contractor, and ARV
• how Epic Mortgage expanded from Chicago into nationwide investor lending
• Dante’s next goal to publish a second book and why education matters

The fastest way to lose money in real estate is to win the deal and fumble the loan. We talk with Jonathan Yoo from Convoy Home Loans about investor financing that’s built for how real investors operate: moving fast, protecting downside, and qualifying based on the asset not just a neat W-2. If you’ve been hearing about DSCR loans, bank statement loans, and other non-QM mortgage options, this conversation turns the buzzwords into a clear decision framework.
We get specific about what DSCR actually measures, why 1 to 4 unit rentals can underwrite differently than commercial property, and how terms change when coverage is strong or weak. Then we tackle a topic more investors need to take seriously: closing in an LLC, the fine print that makes “transfer it later” risky, and how AI tools are giving servicers new ways to detect title and vesting changes. Subject-to deals and due-on-sale clauses have lived in a gray zone for years, and the monitoring environment is not what it used to be.
From there we zoom out to the market: mortgage rates, the 10-year treasury, why the bond market matters, and why short fixed periods can create forced refinance pain. Jonathan also shares three actionable tips for newer investors around liquidity and reserves, repair and lease-up reality, and making sure the numbers work with a real buffer.

We dig into coachability, simple systems that compound over time, and the mindset shift behind her word of wisdom: motion.
• Debbi’s background as a 35-year residential real estate agent, coach and author

• Why being coachable matters more than collecting advice
• The frustration of reinventing the wheel and how to avoid it

• Foundation for Success basics like collaboration and relationship building
• Colleagues not competitors and why referrals grow faster with trust
• Building forums that create community like networks, events and podcasts

• Why activation is the step that stops most people

What’s really stopping you from closing your first real estate deal? We pull back the curtain on the ten roadblocks that keep smart people stuck—fear, “no money,” not knowing what to say, paperwork panic, even the surprising fear of success—and we turn each one into a practical next step. From a raw story of getting fired at Denny’s to knocking on foreclosure doors with a baby on the hip, we show how action, not perfection, builds confidence and checks.
We walk you through the easiest on-ramp in the game: wholesaling with a $10 earnest deposit and a clear, ethical seller conversation. You’ll hear the exact script to open doors, how to frame solutions without pressure, and why title companies and mentors can keep your paperwork clean. Then we move from first wins to a real plan: sustain momentum with daily lead habits, grow into rentals and small commercial, and eventually lend your capital to scale without the grind. Throughout, we tackle market anxiety head-on—why adaptable investors profit in boom or bust—and reframe failure as tuition you only pay once if you learn fast.
If you’re ready to stack “gold bricks” in your money, health, relationships, and faith, this conversation gives you the mindset and the method. No license needed. No perfect timing required. Just a simple system, steady courage, and a community that has your back. Start with the $10 move, bank your first assignment fee, and let that proof reshape what you believe is possible. If this fires you up, share it with a friend who needs a push, subscribe for more step-by-step strategy, and leave a quick review to tell us what fear you’re ditching first.

What if the difference between a stalled dream and a thriving investing business was 92 door knocks and the courage to keep going? We open the playbook on real estate’s real tradeoffs—time freedom, income control, and generational wealth—balanced against the very human hurdles of self-motivation, information overload, and patience for the first win.
I walk you through the exact path from fired night-shift waitress to 2,000+ deals and even buying a small town. We start with the early days: living inside rehabs to cut costs, learning every tool at Home Depot, mapping foreclosures by hand, and using hard money to move fast. Then we break down the shift that changed everything—wholesaling—and how stacking predictable assignment fees can fund rehabs and rentals without the feast-or-famine cycle. You’ll hear how a simple toolkit—Excel, a calendar, and a call list—beats fancy CRMs when the real job is talking to sellers, solving problems, and getting contracts signed.
We also get honest about the cons. Staying self-driven when it rains or when your bank account looks comfy is a real test. Education can help or hurt—choose one mentor, one process, and go deep instead of chasing every new system. Busywork is a trap; measurable action is the cure. Setbacks at the closing table will happen; build buffers and backups so a busted deal doesn’t break your stride. And yes, the first check might take months. That’s not failure—that’s the ramp. Once it clicks, you’ll forecast income by deal count, not wishful thinking.
If you want a roadmap to work for yourself, control your hours, and build assets your kids and grandkids can steward, this conversation is your starting line. Tap play, take notes, and then take action. If it helped, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share this with someone who needs a push to knock on door number 92.

A birthday toast turns into a blueprint for a braver year. We celebrate 67 with honesty about grief, chronic illness, and a new diagnosis, and we choose a simple operating system for 2026: stack gold bricks. A brick can be a workout, a hard phone call, a quiet hour with family, or a closed real estate deal. Coins count, too. When days hit hard, we use a code phrase—“movie day”—to protect morale and communicate needs without giving pain more power than it deserves.
Faith frames the plan. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us there’s a season for everything: building and letting go, speaking and staying quiet, weeping and laughing. That lens steadies the heart through a year of loss, a daughter starting chemo right after giving birth, and the strange rhythm of pain that can greet you first thing in the morning. From that place, we choose action that fits the day. We eat for strength, titrate meds wisely, and set energy boundaries that honor the body while keeping momentum.
On the money front, we cut through hype and keep to what works in real estate: respectful outreach, consistent follow-up, steady skills, and a bias toward small daily wins. We talk about purging closets and habits, consigning the excess, and making room for the life that fits now. Then we round it out with the five slices that keep us balanced—financial, spiritual, physical, emotional, family—and a third-quarter mindset that plays to win with high-percentage moves. If you’ve been waiting for perfect conditions, this is your invitation to move anyway, one coin, one brick at a time.
If this message hits home, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help more people find the show. Then tell me: what gold brick will you stack today?

Stop waiting on the market to bless you with deals. We’re pulling back the curtain on the five public-record lead sources that keep producing—foreclosure, divorce, probate, unpaid taxes, and bankruptcy—and showing how to work them step by step. I walk through the real foreclosure timeline, what your county site actually reveals, and why most investors show up months late with stale lists. You’ll learn where bankruptcy filings live, how to match them to foreclosure records, and why those last-minute moves signal a seller who needs real help right now.
This conversation blends strategy with story. I share how losing a house and a car pushed me to the courthouse, a paper map, and door knocking with a baby on my hip—and how that grit led to the first $22k, then $50k, and a career built on solving people’s problems. We talk scripts that lead with options and empathy, from loan mods and forbearance to selling as-is or using creative financing when it makes sense. If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by headlines—rates, inventory, recession chatter—this is your antidote: consistent deals rooted in life events that never stop.
You’ll leave with a simple plan: pull fresh filings from the last 45–60 days, prioritize by sale dates, and reach out directly. Door knock if you can. If not, combine letters, calls, and social DMs that promise tangible help and a clean exit if needed. That’s how you create triple wins for owners, banks, and your business while stacking steady “gold bricks” of profit. Ready to build a recession-proof pipeline? Subscribe, share this with a fellow investor who needs clarity, and leave a quick review so more people can find it. Then pull your first list tonight and tell me which county you’re starting in.

Some years don’t just challenge you—they level you. After losing my dad and a dear friend, my body crashed, my energy evaporated, and work I love got painfully scarce. The worst part? I couldn’t name why. Steroids, sleep hacks, strict routines—nothing touched the deep, whole-body ache or the fog that made simple tasks feel like mountains. So I did the uncomfortable thing: I kept asking questions until I got real answers.
What finally clicked was a second diagnosis layered on my rheumatoid arthritis—fibromyalgia. Suddenly the relentless fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and unpredictable pain made sense. With my doctor, I started Cymbalta and doubled down on an anti-inflammatory approach to food, cutting sugar and refined carbs and trying carnivore short-term. Within days, my mood lifted and the pain dialed down just enough to start moving forward. Not cured, but hopeful. Not sprinting, but finally walking without shame.
That’s where a new motto was born: Stack Gold Bricks In 26. Each brick stands for a pillar—health, family, faith, finances, real estate deals, learning, generosity. Big wins are big bricks. Small habits are coins. Both count. I refuse to live in all-or-nothing mode that burns you out and leaves you with nothing to show. This year I’m leaning into practical education—tight YouTube trainings, focused half-day workshops, and back-to-basics real estate strategies for lead generation, fair offers, creative exits, and disciplined follow-through. The market is noisy, but the fundamentals work when you do.
If last year bruised you too, you’re not alone. Start with one brick you can place today: book the test, ask for help, prep a low-inflammation meal, or do ten minutes of focused work. We’ll build momentum together—patiently, honestly, and on purpose. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review to tell me your first brick for 2026. Let’s make this the year the small wins stack into something solid.

Ready to scale beyond flips and small rentals into commercial real estate without stepping on landmines? We sit down with investor and educator Becky Lambert to unpack the blueprint: how to pick the right markets, structure safer debt, and build durable cash flow with tenants who actually stay. Becky has 16 years in commercial under her belt and breaks down the core framework with clarity—what NOI really tells you, how DSCR protects your downside, and why a 1% shift in cap rate can swing a valuation by millions.
We dig into the hidden systems that make or break deals: boilers, elevators, roofs, and power capacity. If you’ve ever inherited an old building and found out the hard way what “inspection missed” means, you’ll appreciate the playbook for due diligence that buys leverage at the negotiating table. Becky shares how to curate tenant mixes that pull traffic—think surgeons, PT, pharmacies, and synergistic retail near hospitals—and why staggering lease expirations matters more than squeezing the last dollar on day one. We also explore counter-cyclical assets like storage, the trade-offs in specialized warehouses, and how ground leases and cell towers can add surprising income streams.
For those itching to jump in, Becky explains why joining a syndication is a smart first step to learn IRR, equity multiple, and lender relationships from inside the deal. From selecting a market with real growth drivers to designing leases with escalations and creditworthy tenants, this episode gives you a clear path to move up the ladder without gambling your portfolio. If the numbers tell the truth, learn to listen—and let your strategy match what the market actually wants.

• calculating a monthly freedom number and replacing expenses in stages
• the power of owning assets in an AI-driven economy
• vetting sponsors, markets and deal structures for syndications and debt funds
• oil and gas cash flow plus long-standing tax incentives

The commercial real estate landscape is evolving, not dying, and Mike "Big Mike" Zlotnick is at the forefront of connecting passive investors with lucrative opportunities. His simple yet powerful philosophy? "We marry money and opportunity."
Contrary to popular belief, many commercial property types are thriving post-pandemic. Open-air shopping centers have become particularly attractive investments as supply remains constrained while demand grows. Even previously online-only retailers like Warby Parker have opened hundreds of physical locations, recognizing that customers still want in-person experiences for certain products. Meanwhile, industrial properties continue seeing strong demand due to reshoring initiatives and manufacturing needs. Multifamily remains a necessity-based investment that performs well across economic cycles.
Not all commercial property is created equal, however. Zlotnick candidly warns about office space being a "danger zone" due to remote work trends. This level of transparency characterizes his investment approach, which prioritizes downside protection over home runs. "I would rather never lose money than make 10 home runs and 10 strikeouts," he explains, echoing Howard Marks' definition of risk as simply "the possibility of loss."
For those interested in commercial real estate syndication, Zlotnick breaks down the essentials: typically, investors need to be accredited ($200,000 annual income or $1 million net worth excluding primary residence), with minimum investments around $100,000. The syndication structure allows investors to participate passively while experienced operators manage the properties, providing both cash flow and potential appreciation.
Perhaps most compelling is Zlotnick's perspective on the educational journey of investing. He poses a thought-provoking question: "Are you learning to invest, or are you investing to learn?" This dual nature of investment education underscores that every decision provides valuable lessons, regardless of outcome.

• Creative financing solutions can help investors recover from foreclosure faster than traditional paths
• Time is your most valuable asset - focus on money-making activities rather than trying to save money by doing everything yourself

The world of invisible illness is a lonely place where "you look fine" becomes a painful refrain from well-meaning friends and family who can't see the war raging inside your body. For six years, I've navigated life with rheumatoid arthritis—an autoimmune disease where my body attacks my joints, causing inflammation, pain, and progressive damage from my fingers to my hips.
This deeply personal episode peels back the curtain on what it's truly like living with chronic pain that others can't see. I share my diagnosis story, the countless medications and supplements that fill my daily routine, and how I've had to completely reimagine my identity. From the steroid shots that provide temporary relief to the heated blankets that have become my constant companions, I walk you through the practical realities of managing an autoimmune disease.
But beyond the physical challenges lies a profound psychological journey. I've discovered what I call the "migraine hack"—how people readily show empathy for conditions they understand while dismissing autoimmune flares with a casual "can't you just suck it up?" I share the valuable Column A, B, C exercise from the Mayo Clinic that's helping me accept my new reality: Column A represents who I was before, Column C reflects my worst days, and Column B is the new identity I'm creating between those extremes.
Whether you're battling an invisible illness yourself or love someone who is, this conversation offers both practical insights and emotional validation. For those suffering, you're not alone in this struggle. For those supporting someone with chronic illness, understanding is the greatest gift you can offer. Because when someone says they're in pain, believing them costs nothing—but dismissing their experience costs them everything.

Hitting one million downloads calls for a celebration and a reunion! In this episode, I reconnect with Olivia, whose life has transformed dramatically since we last spoke in 2021. From welcoming her first child to now expecting her second while managing a record-breaking Bahama Breeze restaurant, Olivia's journey exemplifies embracing life's constant changes.
Our conversation dives deep into the realities of modern leadership. Olivia shares how she manages a team of over 100 employees while maintaining exceptional retention rates in an industry known for high turnover. Her approach—focusing on accountability, developing emotional intelligence, and creating a workplace where people genuinely want to be—offers valuable insights for anyone in a leadership position. When she admits that her anxiety manifests as irritation with "rookie mistakes," it's a refreshingly honest look at the challenges leaders face daily.
We explore Olivia's budding real estate investment journey, starting with a rental property in Illinois that they're holding onto despite relocating to North Carolina. Her practical approach to building wealth while balancing career advancement demonstrates how real estate can fit into diverse life plans. The conversation takes a touching turn when we discuss celebrating the lives of departed loved ones, sharing personal stories about preparation, grief, and finding joy in remembrance.
The episode wraps with Olivia's simple yet powerful wisdom: "Be open to change, because change is something that is constant." Her parting advice to "find things you don't like, close that door; find something you like, open that door" might be the perfect mantra for navigating life's unpredictable journey. Ready to embrace change in your own life? Listen now for a conversation that will inspire you to see transitions as opportunities rather than obstacles.

Ever wondered what's behind those small metal industrial buildings you pass on the outskirts of town? They might just be the commercial real estate sector's best-kept investment secret. Austin Edelmon, with 20 years of experience specializing in small bay industrial complexes, pulls back the curtain on this lucrative niche that's outperforming traditional commercial investments.
While retail, multifamily, and office sectors continue to navigate post-pandemic challenges, small bay industrial spaces are delivering impressive returns that have caught the attention of sophisticated investors nationwide. Austin explains why these metal construction facilities with multiple small units are especially attractive: "These parks offer better returns in some instances and even more upside on rental rates and other key factors," making them ideal for yield-seeking investors looking to diversify their portfolios.
The appeal extends beyond just returns. Austin walks us through why development in this sector is more accessible than other commercial projects - from simpler metal construction methods to fewer zoning restrictions when building in county areas. We learn how a portfolio of several 50,000-75,000 square foot complexes can create substantial value, and how even simple cosmetic improvements like exterior paint can significantly boost rental rates and property performance.
Whether you're a seasoned commercial investor or curious about expanding your real estate horizons, Austin's insights provide a roadmap to understanding this growing asset class. His co-authored book "Flex Space Domination" and the resources at FlexParksUSA.com offer even deeper dives into this investment strategy that's helping clients nationwide capitalize on the small bay industrial boom.

Decluttering isn't just about tidying up—it's about creating space for peace in a chaotic world. Hitting 1 million downloads calls for celebrating with a powerful guest, and Connie Graf delivers with compassion and wisdom that will transform how you approach your environment.
Connie, founder of "From Chaos to Peace," reveals why most of us struggle to implement organizational systems despite knowing what to do. "The information is not necessarily the problem," she explains. "The problem is why aren't we doing what we often know we need to do?" This question unlocks a fascinating exploration of procrastination, fear, and the hidden barriers to creating supportive environments.
Drawing from her Swiss background and years helping entrepreneurs, Connie shares her framework of four personality types—fire, earth, air, and water—each with unique organizational challenges. Fire types start enthusiastically but struggle to follow through. Earth types get trapped in endless planning. Air types overthink everything. Water types become emotionally overwhelmed by their possessions. Understanding your type provides targeted strategies that actually work.
The conversation takes a vulnerable turn when discussing why change feels so threatening. "I think I will not recognize myself if I change and I'm afraid of that," one client confessed. This fear keeps many stuck in chaos despite craving peace. Connie's gentle advice? "A few minutes a day keeps the chaos away." Small, consistent actions build momentum without triggering resistance.
We also explore the cultural pressures on women to "do it all" without seeking help, and how setting boundaries—though initially uncomfortable—creates the foundation for genuine peace. As Connie wisely notes, "We can only create more peace in the world if we have peace within us and within our families."

Ever wondered how top real estate investors acquire valuable properties without emptying their bank accounts or battling for traditional financing? Chris Prefontaine, founder and chairman of Smart Real Estate Coach, pulls back the curtain on Subject-To investing - a powerful strategy that's transforming how savvy investors build wealth across North America.
Subject-To investing allows you to purchase properties "subject to" the existing mortgage, taking title while the original loan stays in the seller's name. This approach creates three distinct profit centers what Prefontaine has trademarked as the "Three Paydays" system: upfront deposits from tenant-buyers, monthly cash flow from the spread between what you pay and what you collect, and substantial profits at sale combining property markup with principal pay-down. The numbers are compelling - Prefontaine reveals that properly structured deals on properties worth $200,000+ can consistently generate six-figure profits.
Despite its power, many newcomers hesitate due to concerns about due-on-sale clauses. Prefontaine dismantles this fear with both extensive experience (neither he nor his students have encountered this issue in thousands of transactions) and legal precedent, sharing how specialized attorneys have successfully defended these deals even in rare challenges. The key lies in proper documentation and working with legal professionals who understand the intricacies of these transactions.
Beyond the mechanics, Prefontaine shares how his coaching organization has achieved remarkable success, increasing their community's deal-making metrics from 0.25 deals per student to 1.1 deals per student in 2024 - an accomplishment considered "unheard of" in the industry. His approach combines technical expertise with unwavering confidence, his personal "word of wisdom" that he believes drives success in every area of business and life.

Curious about commercial real estate but unsure where to start? In this enlightening conversation, commercial lending expert Kamyar demystifies the process of acquiring commercial properties and reveals why they often represent superior investments to residential real estate.
The financial advantages of commercial property ownership become immediately clear as Kamyar explains the hands-off nature of management - "You're literally just getting rent every month" while tenants handle most maintenance responsibilities. This stark contrast to the constant demands of residential properties makes commercial real estate particularly attractive for investors seeking passive income streams.
Before taking the commercial plunge, prospective investors should perform crucial preparation steps. Reviewing credit reports, analyzing tax returns, and understanding different qualifying ratios for owner-occupied versus investment properties form the foundation of successful commercial investing. The conversation explores various financing options, from 25-year fixed SBA loans to conventional structures amortized over decades.
Tax strategies emerge as a compelling reason to consider commercial investments. Cost segregation allows accelerated depreciation, while opportunity zones offer potential elimination of capital gains taxes after ten years of ownership. "I have clients that buy one or two buildings a year just to take advantage of cost segregation," Kamyar reveals, demonstrating how savvy investors leverage these advantages to rapidly expand their portfolios.
The discussion extends beyond immediate benefits to long-term legacy planning. Establishing trusts that ensure properties remain family assets across generations creates true multigenerational wealth rather than temporary prosperity. First-time investors receive practical guidance: focus locally, determine your investment goals, and leverage free resources like LoopNet to identify properties.

Your mind is either your greatest asset or your worst enemy – especially in real estate. When Dr. Noah St. John joins Dwan Bent-Twyford on this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what's really holding most real estate investors back from explosive growth.
Known as "the Sheldon Cooper of self-help," Dr. St. John breaks down success into two critical components: inner game and outer game. While most experts focus exclusively on strategies and tactics, Noah's work with thousands of entrepreneurs reveals a startling truth – 90% of the $3 billion he's helped clients generate came from fixing their inner game first.
Through powerful stories like the real estate investor who tripled her investment in just two weeks before they even discussed business strategies, or the agent who generated $95,000 in commissions in just 12 days (and subsequently moved from Boston to Aruba), Noah demonstrates why what happens between your ears determines your income more than any marketing funnel ever could.
The conversation gets deeply personal as Noah shares his journey from growing up poor in wealthy Kennebunkport, Maine, in a house his parents lost to foreclosure, to paying off his dream mansion 27 years early using his own techniques. "Money isn't money," he explains. "Money is options, money is power – not power over others, but the power to choose."
If you've ever felt stuck at an income ceiling, overwhelmed by your business, or trapped in the "hustle until you drop" mentality, this episode offers a refreshing alternative. Learn how to make more in 12 weeks than your previous 12 months while actually winning back time in your life. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.
Take the free Inner Game Scorecard at myinnergame.com to discover what's been holding you back and take your first step toward reclaiming both your power and your life.

How does the creator of the universe view time, free will, and our spiritual journey? Do we need to "manifest" our desires, or is there a simpler path to transformation?
When third-generation minister and book publishing expert Steve Kidd joined me to celebrate our one million download milestone, our conversation quickly evolved into a profound exploration of faith versus modern manifestation practices. Steve cuts through spiritual complexity with refreshing clarity: "The creator of everything in the whole world wants more than anything else to just hang out with you." This perspective challenges our tendency to complicate spirituality with "woo-woo" concepts when the fundamental truth is beautifully simple.
Steve's explanation of God's relationship with time provides a fascinating framework for understanding prayer. "We are time-locked beings traveling through time from yesterday to today to tomorrow. God exists simultaneously across all possible realities." This concept, combined with free will, explains why prayers aren't always answered in our expected timeframe or manner. The divine operates outside our linear timeline while respecting our freedom to choose.
Beyond theological insights, Steve shares his expertise in helping nearly 5,000 people write and publish bestselling books through his interview-based approach. His message that "someone is waiting for your unique knowledge" resonates deeply—we often undervalue our experiences not realizing they could be exactly what others desperately need. Steve introduces us to "zaraz," an ancient Hebrew word meaning "the light of transformation," perfectly capturing how authentic faith naturally radiates from within rather than being forced.
Whether you're questioning your spiritual path, considering writing a book, or simply seeking meaningful transformation, Steve's wisdom offers a refreshingly straightforward approach to life's biggest questions. Visit AskSteveKidd.com for a free consultation about publishing your story, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear that their light matters.

As a first-generation Haitian-American entrepreneur, Herman brings a refreshing perspective to financial education, breaking down complex concepts into understandable components. His comparison of credit reports to "adult report cards" perfectly captures his teaching philosophy - making financial literacy accessible to everyone regardless of background.
What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Herman's insider knowledge of business funding strategies that allow entrepreneurs and real estate investors to access capital without impacting their personal credit. He reveals how his clients secure up to $50,000 in 0% interest business credit through strategic banking relationships, providing the leverage needed to launch businesses or fund real estate projects without personal financial risk.
The discussion turns especially practical when Herman explains how his company has evolved to serve over 3,000 monthly members through Bella Sloan Academy, offering weekly education, accountability systems, and practical resources for just $50 monthly. His approach combines education with implementation - teaching students not just theory but practical application through careful accountability.
Most exciting is Herman's collaboration with construction expert Charles Noonan to help 1,000 people acquire property through land banks, secure funding, complete construction, and implement profitable exit strategies. This comprehensive approach addresses the full spectrum of real estate development, providing a roadmap for beginners to enter the market with guided support.

Ready to break free from the myth that you can't find great real estate deals in today's market? In this milestone episode celebrating one million podcast downloads, Dwan Bent-Twyford shatters common misconceptions about real estate investing that keep most people stuck on the sidelines.
The truth? Foreclosures, divorces, bankruptcies, and probates happen every single day regardless of market conditions. While everyone else is obsessing over interest rates and housing prices, savvy investors are quietly making fortunes by focusing on distressed properties that operate in a completely different ecosystem from retail real estate.
Discover why banks lose 40% of a property's value the moment they file foreclosure paperwork, and how understanding this reality creates opportunities for short sales in any market. Learn the shocking statistic that 75% of bankruptcy filings happen within just three days of a foreclosure sale date - creating a goldmine of opportunity most investors completely overlook.
Dwan shares creative strategies for finding deals including using Facebook to locate homeowners in foreclosure, placing strategic flyers in community spaces, and her time-tested "FedUp with Foreclosures" package that positions you as a problem-solver rather than just another investor. By putting on your "investor goggles" and focusing on helping people through difficult transitions, you'll find profitable opportunities hiding in plain sight.
As Dwan celebrates her 66th birthday and embraces her motto "Time to thrive in '25," she challenges you to stop listening to market pessimists and start taking action today. Remember: when you put people before profits, the financial rewards naturally follow.

A million certified downloads marks a significant milestone as I launch Season 7 of the podcast! This achievement comes alongside a deeply personal journey through grief and reflection after losing both my father and my best friend of 30 years within months of each other.
Through tears and vulnerability, I share how real estate investing provided me the ultimate freedom when it mattered most - the ability to spend six full weeks with my father in hospice, to hold his hand as he passed, and to plan a celebration of life that perfectly honored his love for bluegrass, moonshine, poker, and hunting. While family members were restricted to minimal bereavement time from their jobs, I had the freedom to be fully present without financial stress.
The true power of building a real estate business became crystal clear as my VA team kept operations running smoothly for five straight months while I focused on what truly mattered. My sister and I settled my father's entire estate in just 26 hours thanks to proper planning with land trusts and pay-on-death designations - a testament to good preparation.
Now, as I embrace turning 66 with my naturally gray hair (with a touch of pink!), I'm more convinced than ever that real estate investing isn't just about building wealth - it's about creating the space to fully engage with life's most meaningful moments. Whether you're facing challenges or pursuing dreams, having financial freedom transforms how you experience every aspect of life.
Ready to build this kind of freedom for yourself? Visit dwanderful.com and take the real estate investing quiz to assess your risk tolerance and identify your best starting point. Together, let's make 2025 the year we truly thrive!

Embarking on a journey from the classroom to the realm of real estate might seem like a leap too vast for most, but for Annie Dickerson, it was a transition marked by serendipity and success. I'm thrilled to have Annie, co-founder of Goodegg Investments, join us as we navigate the transformation of wealth-building and its societal influence. Together, we peel back the layers of real estate investing, from Annie's initial plunge into house hacking in Washington D.C. to the strategic sales that bolstered her financial portfolio. We also shed light on the intricate balance of nurturing investments alongside family life and the nuances of landlord-tenant laws that every budding investor should be aware of.
Venturing into the underestimated gold mine of Huntsville, Alabama, I reveal my own awe at the affordability and potential lying dormant in this emerging hotspot. We discuss the growth spurred by prominent industries and the natural barriers that make Huntsville's downtown real estate a hidden treasure. But it's not all smooth sailing; managing properties from afar presents a unique set of challenges, and we dive into the realities of remote real estate investment, from dealing with theft to understanding local dynamics.
Capping off our discourse, we turn to the robust world of syndications, a sector that can be as bewildering as it is lucrative. Annie explains her initial reluctance and the enlightening journey that led her to embrace syndication, eventually guiding her to establish Goodegg Investments. As we wrap up, the conversation takes a turn towards the philosophical, pondering the meaning of fulfillment and the connections that bind us. It's a tale of personal triumph, strategic foresight, and the pursuit of a life that not only prospers but also resonates with the heart's deepest desires. Join us as we share these insights, aiming to enrich your investment approach and, just perhaps, your approach to life itself.

We can always choose to consistently improve our ways no matter how imperfect things are.

Many people have this persistent desire to be in control of everything and the many uncertainties in their heads cause a lot of anxiety. We create a sense of security when we can control things. We may always do the best practices that we know to prevent mistakes and failure, but we cannot ever be in control of everything. Only God controls everything and we must always trust Him.

The word of the week is courageous. It takes courage to do what we do.
Most people don’t succeed in business because they are afraid of failure. The fear of failure is what keeps us from doing what we are very much capable of doing. One thing that most entrepreneurs fear when they are starting is delegating tasks in their business because they want to be in control of everything. What they don’t see are the many opportunities to grow just waiting for them to have the time and energy that they can have when they start delegating.

In this episode of "The Most Dwanderful Podcast Ever", Dwan is updating us on the "Storm" She and bill are currently plowing through. 8 years ago Bill was diagnosed with Polycythaemia vera. That progressed into Myelofibrosis, a very rare and deadly blood cancer. The only cure for Bill was to under go a sterm cell transplant. That consisted of 4 days of extreme chemo to kill off Bill's cells and bone marrow. He had one rest day, and then underwent the stem cell transplant. Now Bill's body has to accept those new cells and avoid Graft vs. Host Disease. Dwan explains their next storm, that of housing. Bill and Dwan will require special housing for the next 6 months to be close to the hospital and to have a sterile environment, as he has almost zero immune system. This costs thousands of dollars a month, which insurance is refusing to pay.
With that being said, a friend of Bill's has created a Gofund me account. Bill and Dwan won't be able to do their "usual" jobs of speaking and traveling. Now they have the added expense of Special housing and all that comes with that. If you are able, Please consider making a donation. Dwan and Bill will continue helping their students and creating content from special housing, but a little extra help would be so very appreciated. https://gofund.me/d6138b31 is the link where you can learn more about what Bill is facing and get the most recent updates from Dwan.

Kenneth, Jeffery, and Kerwin Donis are the guests this week on “Inside the minds of Today’s Millionaires”. Dwan talks to these 3 young brothers who have taken on the world of real estate investing. With just under two years under their belt, they have successfully made quite a name for themselves! In their first two deals alone, they brought in a check for $33,500. Within that first 13 months, they had wholesaled 13 deals, most of which occurred in the final 6 months. Their background is a humble one. They are 1st generation Americans from a low income and single mother household. They didn’t us that as an excuse, though! They were all accepted into varying college courses, but they didn’t stay on that path for long! They began reading books to help shape their mindset. It was that coupled with a trip to their mother’s home country, Guatemala, that really gave them the boost that they needed to make the shift into real estate investing full time. Learn more about these amazing brothers by visiting www.donisinvestmentgroup.com and by listening to their podcast, “The Real Estate Monopoly”.

In this episode of “The Most Dwanderful Podcast Ever” Dwan is talking about rehabbing and selling. If you are thinking that now is the time to start rehabbing homes to sell, you may want to dig a little deeper into the costs of doing so before making a commitment. Why? Because of all that went on with COVID, the cost of building material is extremely high. Dwan tells of trying to find a refrigerator for her mother and it was $1500! If you decide that the rehab you are looking at is still something you want to do, consider saving money somewhere else. Dwan gives several examples of how they have saved money by shopping on craigslist and at salvage stores, even by repurposing other things into new ones! At the end of the episode, Dwan issues our life equity challenge that she knows she will catch some flack on, but asks you to consider it anyways.

In this week’s “Business by the Book”, Dwan is talking about baby dedication. What is that? Is it the same as having your baby baptized? Dwan discusses why it is important to know the difference between the two. Dwan reads some scriptures to us that are great to share at a baby dedication and that she plans on reading at the dedication of her two grandsons. Dwan also encourages parents of children who have possibly falled away from the faith for one reason or another. She reminds them that children who are raised on the word are saved on their own and that just because they have left doesn’t mean that they can’t come back.

In this episode of “The most Dwanderful Podcast Ever”, Dwan starts a four-part series discussing what is hot in exit strategies and what you should be looking for in this last quarter of the year. Today’s is about the “buy and hold” strategy. At a workshop she was at recently many were questioning the decision she and Bill made to buy so many parcels and revitalize a town. Isn’t this risky?? Dwan talks about the research behind the decision and how well it is working out. She encourages you to look outside the box and see what opportunity zones you can find. If you find some place you think is worth doing something with, she tells you to send it along to her for her opinion! She knows what's working right now!

Today on “The Most Dwanderful Podcast Ever” Dwan is continuing her series on equity partnering. After many emails telling her that they still don’t understand how to split the profit, Dwan decided to sit down and really break down the figures for you using an example sale. Imagine that the homeowner has a house valued at $300,000 and they owe $175,000. You come in and charge them a “risk assessment fee” of 10% of what the house sells for. That comes out to be $30,000 right off the top of the sale. Then say that they had back payments of $15,000 and that the home needed $30,000 in rehabs. This would leave a profit of $50,000. That split right down the middle is $25,000 each. That’s a pretty good deal for a homeowner looking to get out of their house!
Many homeowners will want to see the math. Take them aside with a pad of paper and show them exactly how that math looks! Dwan has done hundreds of these deals and she has never had a homeowner left feeling emptyhanded.

In this episode of “Business by the Book”, Dwan is talking about a few scriptures that popped up in her life recently. She was eating out with Bill at In&Out Burger and there were some scriptures on their packages. Dwan recounts the ones that were there and explains to us what they mean. She recounts them like a story, reminding us that Jesus is always knocking on our hearts waiting for us to let him in. She also felt like they were sent to her as a reminder to be strong and stand back up after being knocked down from some of the health issues she has been dealing with. She also discusses why we need to keep our moral compass straight and not allow Satan to warp our thinking and belief in God. Subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss any of our future podcasts.

In today’s episode of “Inside the Minds of Today’s Millionaires”, Dwan is talking with guest, Steve Werner. Steve specializes in live events and in teaching people how to reach millions instead of just one. At the age of 8, Steve discovered his entrepreneurial side. This served him well through college and brought him to where he is now. After 9/11 happened, he lived in Italy and on his way home he read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. That inspired him to get into real estate investing. That didn’t last long after he discovered that being a landlord wasn’t for him! In retrospect, though, it was his own inexperience that led him to selling his rental properties off. Now? He himself is a renter of sorts as he travels around living in AirBnb’s. During this podcast, Steve keeps us glued to the screen with his stories of growing up and life experiences. He also gives us three tips that will set us apart from others, issues our life equity challenge, and parting words of wisdom.
If what you heard today spoke to you, reach out to Steve and set up a meeting by going to steven.coffee on your computer. There you can set up your very own virtual coffee. Want to get to know more about him first? Check out his podcast, “Grow your Impact, Income, and Influence”. Don’t forget to leave him some “5-star” reviews while you are there!

In today’s episode of “The Most Dwanderful Podcast Ever”, Dwan is wrapping up her series on equity partnering. She starts by calculating what the market could look like if people tood advantage of the 20ish month reprive of making mortgage payments during Covid.

Because this is will show the homeowner that you are trying to “pull the wool over their eyes”.

In this episode of “Business by the Book” Dwan is super excited to share with you a study brochure she had forgotten was in her Bible! It is a little book that was put out monthly called “the Active Word” and this one is from January 2010. Dwan talks about the pastor at that time and how he fell from grace. She reminds us, though, that even pastors are people too and that god forgives. She reminces about her time as a single woman and how she decided that she was going to wait for God to bring her a husband. Boy did he provide when he brought along Bill!

In this Episode of “the Most Dwanderful Podcast Ever” Dwan is digging into the topic of charging a “risk assessment fee”. Many people are so far behind on their mortgages that they are starting to feel trapped. However, Dwan explains that even though some are at risk of losing their homes, they would rather do that than to sell it for almost nothing. That is where equity partnering comes in! You can help them out of a bad situation and leave them feeling good about it AND you can earn some money from it, too. The biggest thing to know, though, is you need the PROPERLY SIGNED documentation. Without that, you are really ding a disservice to yourself and could potentially find yourself in a bad situation. If you would like access to the documents that you need, head on over to Dwanderful.com and opt in.

In this episode of “Inside the Minds of Today’s Millionaires”, we are talking with Rod Kahlief. He is a multi-family real estate guy and the host of the podcase “Lifetime Cashflow”. At the age of 6, Rod immigrated from Holland to Denver, Colorado. It was there that his mother paved the way into his interest of real estate and making money while he sleeps. At the age of 18 he got his brokers license and was right on the track from there, making lots of money and crushing goals. Life changed suddenly for Rod, though, when it all came crashing down in 2008 and he lost 50 million dollars. He didn’t jump right back into real estate, though. He first turned his attention to being a litigation lawyer and helping families not lose their houses. Though it was good work, and rewarding helping those families, it wasn’t where he passion was. Rod started over and began to realize that multifamily homes was where it was at. He also discovered his passion for teaching others and helping them to change their mindset to accomplish their goals. It is throguh his #1 podcast that he does this and through the bootcamps that he hosts. In fact, for our listeners, Rod is offering a special deal! If you text multifamily to 72345 you can get access to his 18 hour training for $47. After some time, that code will change and the price will go up to it’s regular $300 with the code getting you $50, so don’t hesitate! You can learn more about Rod by visiting his website, realestatewithrod.com or his foundation page tinyhandsfoundation.com

In this episode of “Business By the Book, Dwan is talking some more about the book of Revelation. She reads to us from chapter 22, the concludling chapter and words of the Bible. There we can find what to expect in the future. Dwan shares some of the teachings she was taught as a child that scared the daylights out of her. As an adult who has taken charge of her own spirituality, she now sees the Bible in a different light and turns to the words of Jesus to sooth and comfort her. Another thing that Dwan has changed in her life is the amount of time she spends watching the news. Now that she has limited her time watching that, her stress level has gone down significantly. You should try cutting out that negativity, too! In the end, Dwan admonished us to keep our ears and eyes open and to remember that the truth is in the red letters.

This week’s “Business by the Book” is focusint on Revelation 20:4-6. Dwan was completely caught off guard by something the president said and it really got her thinking. Are we living in the end times? Is the COVID vaccine the mark of the beast? Dwan covers what will happen if you are an unbeliever, why you should be ready to die for your faith, and why you don’t want to be left behind. Dwan fought making this series for almost a year, but God put it in her heart to speak out, and that’s exactly what she is going to do! (Even though it was scary at first…)

When you really boil it down to a simple explanation, what is it that we do? Honestly? It’s the same thing that all professions do. From lawn care folks, to house cleaners, to doctors, to lawyers, they all have the same thing in common. They solved problems and got paid for it. I give you some examples of some problems I solved and how much I made from closing the deal that resulted from it.

This is a special episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever because Dwan talks about her relationship with Jesus and how you can build your house upon a rock. If you have listened to even a single episode of this podcast, you have heard Dwan say “the truth is in the red letters”, and perhaps you have wondered what that means. In the Bible, most versions have printed the words of Jesus spoken during his earthly ministry in red text. As a Christian with a strong relationship with Jesus, Dwan knows that the Bible, especially the words of Jesus, are the key to living an abundant life on earth and getting to spend eternity in Heaven.
As we all prepare to celebrate Christmas this week, Dwan thought this would be the perfect time to talk about the birth of Jesus and some of his key teachings while He was living among us. Jesus was born into this world as the Son of God, fully human and fully divine, to provide the only way for us to get to Heaven. He taught on many subjects, but He spent a lot of time talking about money, saying things like “a man cannot serve two masters: God and money” and “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” but also pointing out that He came to give us abundant life that could not be taken away from us by Satan. Through Him, God set up the only pathway to Heaven, the most inclusive exclusivity because anyone who accepts Jesus and has genuine faith can enter in, but many people reject this idea and instead believe that either there is no God or that everyone on earth worships the same God.
In order to have success in life and to be able to go to Heaven one day to be with God forever, the only way is to build your life upon the rock of Jesus. Not on yourself, not on your spouse, not on money, not on your ambitions, not on your kids – only on Jesus. When your foundation is strong, anything you build on top of it will be strong as well.
In this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan shares excellent news after the testing and cleansing for her Rheumatoid Arthritis. She is excited to celebrate with a cheers to Bailey’s Irish Cream while sharing about her endeavor to love coffee, survival of an alcohol free Florida vacation and the purple conditioner in her hair.
Dwan recaps the first challenge to get a deal and close it by the end of the month. She encourages new listeners to listen to previous shows on scripts and “how-to”s so you, too, can learn how it works. Dwan then issues the second of the 5-week challenge to GIVE. She shares some personal testimonies of giving to help you with ideas of how to get started with the giving challenge and encourages listeners of the benefits of giving in silence all year round.
Dwan closes her second challenge with the importance of setting your goals for the next decade by sharing the personal challenges of the past decade and what she claims in hope for the next decade as the best decade ever. Remember- in both giving and real estate, you don’t have to start big. Just start! She emphasizes that she has walked hundreds of miles in your shoes and now she wants you to walk in hers.
In this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan beams with enthusiasm for the Christmas season. She shares her love of Hallmark Christmas movies, and spending time with loved ones. But beyond her warm feelings about the season, she urges us to take advantage of this time of year to close deals.
A challenge is issued to make $30,000 over the next five weeks! Dwan provides you with tips, tricks, resources, and the motivations to reach this goal. One of her main tips is to quiet the voice that says “you’re bothering people”. She reminds us that the holiday season is one of the most trying times for people, and you reaching out, could be just the thing they have been hoping for.
It’s a must to follow-up, by phone, with every person you’ve talked to over the course of the five weeks.
To further provide you the necessary resources to meet this five-week goal, Dwan is providing a limited time discount for her six session Flipping Contracts bootcamp. Visit Dwanderful.com/flip for this limited time deal, and invaluable information, that will no doubt allow you to reach your $30,000 goal!
Additionally, for the first time ever if you find a deal this week, she’ll help you close, and will split it with you
On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan discusses something that she has mentioned before on the podcast but that is a very timely topic for the end of the year: The Five Equities of Life. Dwan heard about this idea about 15 years ago, and it really sparked for her a new chapter of self-awareness and intentional living.
The Five Equities are: financial, spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical. Dwan writes these five words across the top of a big flip chart page and keeps a running list of what is going on in each of those areas of her life, adding and removing things as needed. This allows her to look back at what has happened so far this year and have a good idea of where she wants to go based on where she is been and where she is now. Having an honest assessment of yourself and choosing to intentionally set and work towards goals is imperative to a successful life.
Since starting this practice of maintaining a list of her Five Equities of Life, Dwan has also become more conscious of her self-talk, choosing to remove negative self-talk from her life. Did you know that 75% of your thoughts every day are negative? And 80% of those negative thoughts are about yourself? Thinking negatively will lead to negative self-esteem, self-limiting beliefs, and an unhealthy judgment of others. You will be amazed how much your life will change once you decide to take every thought captive and remove negative self-talk from your mind. This incorporates the spiritual, emotional, and mental equities and can be one of the catalysts to the life change you have been looking for, setting you up for success.
In this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan will tell you the fastest way to sell your rehab. This is the last episode of the rehabbing mini-season and it is a great one to finish on.
Dwan’s biggest pet peeve with rehabbers is when people rip out a bathroom or a kitchen and then put all of the appliances/fixtures and cabinets in exactly the same spots. Once you demo the room, take measurements and go to Home Depot. They can digitally redesign your space and make it feel like a brand new room. Speaking of bathrooms, Dwan and Bill always install urinals in the bathrooms they redo and the men always love them. Most rehabbers try to sell the house to the women based on the kitchen and bathrooms, but if you put a urinal in, the men will be on board too.
In order to sell your rehab quickly, Dwan recommends that you install the tile that looks like hardwood, install two kitchen faucets, put in an ice maker, and buy a kitchen suite so that all of your appliances match and are updated. When it comes time to sell, don’t immediately list your house with a real estate agent. Advertise and put on an open house yourself and see what kind of interest you can drum up. Start out pricing your house 5% below market value knowing that if you list it with an agent, they will bump up the price to account for their commission fee. Every 30 days that the house doesn’t sell, lower the price. With these tips, you are sure to sell your rehab in a timely manner and make what you expected to make off of the deal.
The topic of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is where to spend rehabbing dollars. Unless you have done more than 5 rehabs, you do not have enough experience to guess how much your rehab will cost. Take your budget and double it because things will come up and the rehab most likely will cost more than you are expecting. If it doesn’t, then you have planned for the worst and now you are making extra profit.
Dwan provides listeners with some great money saving tips when it comes to paint and carpet, but the most important thing to remember is not to be cheap. There is a line between saving money and being cheap, and you should be careful to never cross that line. Dwan is very loyal to Home Depot because of their consistent quality and the classes that they offer. One of her money saving tips is to choose a designer paint color that you like and take the paint chip to the Home Depot paint counter and ask them to match that color but use the type of paint that is on sale. Her second tip is to make sure the carpet you are looking at is FHA approved, then choose the medium quality carpet but purchase a thicker carpet pad to make it feel more luxurious.
Finally, Dwan coaches listeners to put aside your personal preferences and think about what is trendy right now as well as what would best serve your buyers in the future. Don’t make drastic changes to the floorplan or unique design elements that are original to the home. Even if you don’t like it, someone else might fall in the love with the house simply because of that thing.
On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan talks about the misconception that people have that “rehabbing” and “flipping” a house are the same thing as well as describing the main mistake that rehabbers make with a property. If you listen to this podcast every week, you should be prepared to go out there and be successful in real estate investing because Dwan provides you with the step-by-step instructions for what to do and what not to do.
Dwan and Bill meet so many people and couples who have purchased an investment property that they are initially excited to do rehab on the weekends, but they have also seen the same thing happen time and time again. The couple starts out strong, working their 9-5 jobs throughout the week and then working all day Saturday and Sunday at their rehab property for the first weekend or two, but they start to get tired or run into unexpected issues and begin spending less and less time at the house every weekend, extending their timeframe for completing the house and putting it back on the market for a month or more. It is also likely, if the couple is not familiar with all aspects of rehabbing a house, that they will end up having to hire someone to finish or fix certain portions of the rehab, cutting into their profits and timeline even more.
The main message of this episode is: be realistic. If you don’t have the time and expertise to complete all the work yourself, hire someone up front. There are also things you can do in the neighborhood around your rehab property to protect your interests and get the neighbors in your corner.

As you may have noticed, Dwan took an unexpected break from recording The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever during the month of October, but now she is BACK and better than ever! In the aftermath of her rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis a couple of months ago, Dwan has been finding her “new normal” and adjusting to medications and dietary restrictions and then getting off of medications due to side effects.
Now that Dwan knows what is going on with her body and has experienced a few flare-ups since her diagnosis as well as a 10-day long migraine, she has a much deeper level of understanding for people who suffer from chronic pain. She encourages everyone who knows someone with chronic pain to be more empathetic and know that they truly are struggling just to make it through the day.
Whether you feel like it or not, you likely need to do some work on your diet to improve the quality of what you are eating and figure out how different foods affect you. Dwan challenges you to cut out carbs and sugar for a whole week and get into an exercise routine and just see if you feel any better. You might not feel like you are not feeling well right now, but you will likely be amazed by how much better you can feel by living a healthy lifestyle.
During this break, Dwan also reevaluated the format of the podcast and from now on will be teaching mini-seasons that last one month rather than the longer seasons that had been lasting 3 months each. There will also be more opportunities for pop-up learning and more of an emphasis put on topics that need to be integrated into your real estate investing business.

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan and Bill are still on Route 66 and Dwan shares with listeners how to make three creative offers on each property. This is the last episode of the rentals season of the podcast, so next week she will begin teaching about rehabbing.
She begins by describing the rentals process: wholesale 2-3 houses until you have banked 6 months of income, then budget that money to pay yourself a salary so you can quit your job and spend 40 hours per week working on real estate, pay for some rental properties, then continue this process until you are able to get to the power of 13 or purchase some commercial rental property. Look to purchase properties in an opportunity zone like Clinton, Iowa and remember Dwan’s tips about property managers, unannounced visits, and taking photographs of your tenants.
Dwan recommends submitting three creative offers on every real estate transaction using some combination of cash and terms. She and Bill just bought 3 buildings in Clinton, Iowa, by offering the seller (1) an amount below the asking price for an outright purchase (2) an amount between offer 1 and the asking price with a high down payment and the seller carrying the note and (3) the asking price with interest-only for 2 years, a low down payment, and the seller carrying the note. If you do creative offers like this, you can end up owning more real estate than if you looked at each deal as straightforward.
The topic of this episode is knowing how much rehab to do to your rental properties. If you are purchasing the property for 60-65% of the value like Dwan tells you to, you should have some extra capacity to do some rehab yourself or hire someone to do it for you. You want the property to be nice for your tenants, but if you will need to do too much work to make it livable, perhaps that property is not the best one for you to buy. Dwan likes to buy clean properties and keep them clean by having the right tenants who will take care of their space.
If you provide a good place for your tenants to stay and you build a good relationship with them, they will stay for a long time. Dwan also provides some recommendations such as buying used or scratch/dent appliances, putting down tile, laminate, or carpet squares instead of traditional carpet, and installing smoke and carbon monoxide combo detectors.
Dwan has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, which isn’t great news but she is relieved to know what is going on and how she can work to keep her symptoms managed. This will be especially interesting during her trip with Bill on Route 66 where they will be eating out a lot and not able to be as active.

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan discusses when and how to hire a property manager. Being a landlord to a few tenants that you have interviewed and chosen ahead of time can be great. But when you own multiple properties, tenant requests and problems can be exhausting. Dwan recommends that you manage your own properties when you just have one or two because it is important for you to know how to do all of the things that a property manager does down the road when you are ready to interview and hire one. She also says that you should tell tenants that you “work for the owners” so they don’t find out you are the owner and start asking for more leniency than you want to give.
Once you get five properties, you should definitely consider hiring a property management company to help you with collecting rent, handling maintenance requests, and dealing with any other issues, but have a threshold of maintenance issues that must be brought to you for approval first. For example, some property managers get kickbacks from their friends who are in the HVAC or roofing businesses if they install one of their products at a property. Perhaps things over $500 should be brought to you for you to handle the bidding process. Also be sure you are very well-insured at all of your properties.
On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan talks about the one thing that no one wants to do but sometimes has to be done: evictions. If your tenants violate any of the terms of your lease agreement, you can evict them based on the laws in your state. While late rent payments are one of the more common reasons for eviction, others could be damage to the property, unsanitary living conditions, more people living in the house than specified in the lease agreement, or having too many pets.
Dwan has found that if you evict tenants by going through the system and giving them a 3-day-notice, the tenants can sometimes become hostile and trash your property as a way of “getting even” with you. Of course, this costs you as the landlord a lot of money to clean up. So Dwan’s alternative plan is to go to the tenant and simply tell them that it is not working out for them to live in your property for the various reasons you have outlined and that you would like for them to move out by the end of the month. Since you know that moving is expensive, you will return their deposit plus an additional 50% of their deposit amount in cash to them if they leave the property on time and in broom swept condition. Ninety percent of the time, the tenants will take this deal and it is a win-win for everyone involved. If not, do not be afraid to evict them through the justice system and make their lives more difficult because they did the same for you.
The subject of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is when to sell your rentals. But first, Dwan opens up about the day she got a collect call from jail. It was her husband, who had been caught selling a crazy amount of drugs (with his band mates). He would remain in jail for 5 years, leaving Dwan and Ayla to fend for themselves, which ultimately led Dwan down the path she is on now of real estate investing. This was the lowest and most frightening time of Dwan’s life. She divorced him while he was in prison because he was just not the person she had known, and she spent the better part of 10 years resisting any new relationships that would require trust. She met Bill and they dated long distance for 15 months before she built up enough trust to marry him.
When it comes to knowing when to sell one or more of your rental properties, Dwan advises that you sit down for every 10 rentals you acquire and assess where you are. Which properties are in good and bad locations? How are your returns? How many Subject To properties do you have? Would it be beneficial for you to sell one property in order to pay off several of your others? You should only consider this if by selling one you could pay off at least two rental properties.

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan talks about how to pay off your rentals. Contrary to what a lot of other real estate investors do and tell others to do, you should pay off your rentals before paying off your own assets. When you close your first deal, go ahead and quit your full-time job and use the profits from that deal to pay yourself a weekly salary to be a full-time real estate investor. Then when you close your next deal, you can give yourself a raise and/or save up until you can pay cash for another rental property. Once you have 3 rentals paid for and you’re on the way to the Power of 13, then you can start paying off your own assets.
Dwan and Bill just welcomed a new grandbaby and kept little Benjamin’s older sisters for 9 days at their house, so they are still recovering. This August also marks 30 years since Dwan’s life was turned upside-down and she began her life as a single mother trying to find her way. Dwan also shares on this episode about her recent health issues and the continuing journey to find out what is going on. She would appreciate your prayers, and of course she will keep her loyal listeners posted as she starts to get some answers.

You have probably heard Dwan mention the Power of 13 before, but maybe this is the first time you have ever heard her explain it. Dwan has found this fail-proof method of creating passive income for yourself that can help you quit your desk job and start working on fulfilling your own dreams!
Many real estate investors make the mistake of borrowing against their rentals for other investments or paying off their own houses and assets before paying off their rental properties, but Dwan challenges you to flip the script. Flip a few houses and pay off a rental property, flip a few houses and pay off another, and so on until you own 13 rental properties free and clear. Every month, set aside the income from 3 of those properties into an account for expenditures (taxes, insurance, and repairs) and then live off the income of the other 10. With this passive income coming in, you won’t have to work anymore and you will be able to pay off your own assets and get started on acquiring your next set of 13 properties until you have the amount of passive income coming in every month to give you the lifestyle you want.

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, the topic is Section 8 rentals. Many people don’t even consider having Section 8 tenants because they don’t want to be involved with “those people.” What they don’t realize is that people who use the program as it is intended are legitimately down on their luck and trying to support their children the best way they know how while they try to improve their situation. Dwan has a heart for these families because she really wants to help them get back on their feet with the support they need.
From a landlord perspective, Section 8 is the most consistent income you can ask for. The government is never late on payments, and because there is such demand for Section 8 housing, it is unlikely that you will have a vacant property for more than a few weeks. Considering all of the money that the government takes from you every year in taxes, it is also nice for them to essentially pay off your rentals for you with very little effort on your part. You will, of course, interview the potential tenants and do the unannounced visit to their current living situation, and you’ll set clear expectations when each family moves in. Dwan has never had an issue with her Section 8 tenants because of these practices.

The topic of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is asking yourself the question “What do you want to own?” It would be tempting to just jump into real estate investing based on the experience or recommendation of someone else that you should flip or rehab houses, but you need to sit down and write out what your actual goals are. Think about where you want your properties to be, who you want to work with, and what types of properties you want to have. Dwan and Bill have found that they love commercial and section 8 properties right now, and they will probably keep focusing on those projects for now. But what about you?
On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan discusses long term rentals. She specifically outlines the benefits of having tenants stay in your properties for more than 18 months, especially if they are good tenants and they are taking care of the house. She talks through exactly how to have this conversation with your tenants and offer them a discount on their monthly rent or to upgrade something in the house in exchange for a longer lease timeframe. While $25 per month might not be a big deal for you to discount, it can add up to be a big deal for the homeowners and it can save them from having to pack up and move every year.
Additionally, Dwan stresses the importance of you and your tenants being properly insured. While it might seem wasteful to “throw away” cash every month on every property, if something ever happens to one of your buildings, you will be so glad that you had been investing in making sure everything would turn out ok. You should run your business like you are always trying to avoid a lawsuit, and you probably will.
Dwan discusses her practice of taking photos of her tenants in each room of the house at the beginning of their lease on this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever. By taking these photos, you are protecting yourself and holding your tenants accountable for any damage they create at the property while they are living there. This is the proof you need if they insist that hole in the wall was there when they moved in, much like car rental companies do an initial assessment of the state of the car with the client before and after they rent it.
While things like this seem to be intimidating for new landlords, these kinds of measures protect you and allow you to create the wealth you need in order to pay off your rental properties as soon as possible and become a successful retired landlord.
The subject of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is “the giant deposit.” Dwan talks about her recent experience with her son going through this process of purchasing his first rental property and vetting the tenants with an unannounced pop-in visit as well as the conversation he had with them about the deposit. Dwan knows from experience that almost every time you require a security deposit of the same amount as a month’s rent, the tenants will ask you to use their security deposit as their last month’s rent, so by making the deposit $300-$400 higher than a month’s rent, you are almost guaranteeing that they will pay their last month’s rent in order to receive their deposit back.
To kick off the new season of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan overviews the topics to be covered on rentals and brings in some illustrations from her own experience. The type of rentals Dwan is talking about this season are ones where the investor is trying to build up a rental portfolio rather than specifically helping homeowners in distress, but it is very likely that there will be some crossover.
From the paperwork to selecting the right tenants to working towards owning all of your rentals outright, Dwan will be walking you through the steps you should take to become a successful real estate investor with rentals. Many people encourage investors to leverage their rentals against each other rather than owning them all for cash, but those are the investors who lost everything during the Recession, while Dwan and her students were on firm footing.
Dwan shares her #1 tip for rentals: no matter what, always make an unannounced visit at 8:00pm to the house where your potential tenants are living now. It will be awkward and they will be embarrassed to show you their house, but if you only judge them by their meeting with you, you will never really know how well they are going to take care of your house.
Dwan describes the process of owner partnering (also known as equity partnering) and the importance of getting your paperwork in order before venturing out with a homeowner in distress. Many things can go wrong, but many things can also go right, and the ideal outcome is for you to make a hearty profit, the homeowner to walk away with a good payout, and everyone to be happy at the end. Sometimes it is the homeowners that have a lot of equity in their house who come to you in the most desperation because they finally surrender to the fact that the bank will take their house otherwise.
The most straightforward method for walking the homeowner through the process of equity partnering is with a written agreement, the terms of which are discussed using the pen and paper approach. Seeing the numbers all together really opens the homeowners’ eyes to the trouble they have gotten themselves into and the lifeline you are trying to throw them by partnering with them.
On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, to topic is Rent to Own deals and how to do them right. The concept of Rent to Own is not that different than Owner Financing from last week, but the distinction is that you retain ownership of the property with Rent to Own. You have your tenants in the property sign lease and option documents as well as an agreement specifying the terms of your deal, then you take a down payment from them that will become their option money later on.
If they end up not buying from you at the end of the agreement, that option money is yours to keep and you can turn right back around and start a new Rent to Own deal with new tenants. While Dwan has done plenty of these deals, she prefers Owner Financing more, and she explains that you might prefer different real estate investment options at different points in your life. The key is to just try a lot of different things to see what you like best and take Dwan’s advice by listening to the podcast and joining the membership site at Dwanderful.com.

This episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is all about turning your Subject To deal into real sustainable wealth by offering owner financing to a new homeowner. Many families who fell on hard times during the recession about 10 years ago have still not been able to build up their credit enough for a bank to give them a home loan, so they are eager for owner financing home ownership opportunities to get them back on track. Of course, you will want to check their credit history to see if they have been making their rent, car, and credit card payments on time because if they have been consistently late, they will not pay you on time regardless of what they promise you.
Not only is owner financing a lifesaver for the original homeowners and the new homeowners, but it is a surefire way for you to create wealth. Over the course of 1 owner financing property lifecycle of 5 years, you should be able to make $60,000, so imagine how lifechanging doing multiple deals per year could be.1
Many real estate investors avoid Subject To deals because they seem too complicated or advanced, but with Dwan’s help, you can master them in no time. This episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever describes an overview of the Subject To process and Dwan gives listeners some crucial things to keep in mind before taking on a Subject To deal.
As with all of our real estate investments, our goal is to help the homeowner who is in distress and about to lose their home. With a Subject To, you find a homeowner who has a house in really good condition, a fixed mortgage, and a low interest rate and you have them deed the house to you, while their name remains on the mortgage. You can either live in the house or make it a rental, but you make the monthly mortgage payments for about 5 years before refinancing. This will help build up the original homeowner’s credit and make it easier for them to get a new home loan down the road.
The purpose of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is to sum up the topics that have been covered so far in the podcast and specifically this season about short sales and to prepare you for the final month of this season. Since the month of June will be focused on subject 2 sales and homeowner partnering, you need to transition your mindset and put out some “rent to buy” and “owner financing” bandit signs to start drumming up new clients. Many people who suffered during the financial crisis 10 years ago have been saving up to buy a home, but they have not rebuilt their credit enough for the bank to offer them a loan. You can be their solution by offering owner financing.
You might not think that working with homeowners in bankruptcy is a good idea, but – in fact – bankruptcy can save your deal. On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan spells out the bankruptcy timeline and explains what it looks like to work with homeowners through that process. It is not for the faint of heart, but some homeowners who are determined to stay in their home and stay on top of the bankruptcy paperwork have found ways to live in their home for free for more than 2 years! While you are not an attorney and you don’t want to be one, you can learn enough about bankruptcy to advise your homeowners along the way.
On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, the topic is closing your short sale properly. Dwan outlines the simple things that you need to have lined up to make sure that your closing goes smoothly. From contracts to the letter from the bank to the rehabber’s cash in hand to making sure the homeowners are out of the house before the closing, Dwan’s tips and tricks are foolproof and will help you be on top of things without having to worry about forgetting something. Everything that Dwan shares with listeners comes from her own experience, so you get to benefit from her wealth of knowledge and get your own paychecks!
This episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is crucial for you in ensuring the bank doesn’t screw your homeowners. So many real estate investors out there are only in it for the money and they don’t do the right thing when it comes to protecting their homeowners. There are several things that you need in writing from the bank to absolve your homeowners from any further liability. Banks love nothing more than lying by omission and keeping as much of their money as possible, particularly when it comes to the closing fees and the actual deficit between the property value and the short sale price. If you don’t step in and use your expertise, your homeowners could get stuck with a huge tax problem or a $100,000 judgment that could prevent them from ever purchasing another property.
This episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever outlines the third offer in the short sale process. This is the offer where you get down to business with the bank rep or loss mitigator and crunch the numbers to show them how much it is costing the bank to keep holding on to this property. In light of the emotional attachment and fear that you have built up with the previous two offers, you have a good foundation to outline the potential financial loss that the bank will incur if they continue with the foreclosure process. Especially considering the upcoming dip in the market, you have a compelling case if you play your cards right and don’t back down.
This week on The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan walks listeners through the second offer to the bank during the short sale process. This second offer should tell the bank that you are serious about this property but you also want to point out to them all of the negative things about the property and the surrounding area. You want to jump your offer to 60% of the value of the house but also build fear in the mind of the bank based on other houses in the area, crime reports, and the list of registered sex offenders nearby. They will inevitably ask you why you want the house in light of all of the negative things you pointed out, and Dwan will cover that on the next episode about the third offer to the bank. Remember that you can talk to Dwan on Wednesday mornings during the LIVE Coaching Call to get help as you walk through this short sale process or anything in real estate investing.

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan talks listeners through the first of three offers that you are going to give the bank for your short sale property. You will learn specifically what to say to the loss mitigator, what to include in the package you send to them, and how much your initial offer should be. Your goal with this offer is to create an emotional attachment between the loss mitigation bank representative and your homeowner, using a combination of authenticity and guilt to help them get on your homeowner’s side. Banks in America are spending $44 million PER MONTH on the maintenance and upkeep of the vacant houses they own, so you are really doing them a favor by offering to take one off their hands.
On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan gets into the nitty-gritty of how to begin the short sale negotiations with the bank. You will learn how to go maneuver the 3-step offer process as well as find the right person to talk with at the bank. Your loyalty is always with your homeowner, who you are trying to give a fresh start without them getting a foreclosure on their record, and your common enemy is the bank. You might have to get a little bit angry thinking about how much money banks make on home loans to prepare you for that final negotiation, so you can put it all out on the table.

Dwan is joined by a very special guest on this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever: her husband, Bill! The two describe their fantastic trip to Manhattan for Dwan’s birthday and outline some of the upcoming travel they have going on. Bill finishes up this series on the Fed Up packet by talking through options 9 and 10: refinancing and doing nothing.

In this continuing series outlining the 10 options in the Fed Up packet, Dwan discusses bankruptcy, deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure, and selling with a real estate agent. These three options really rely on your own industry knowledge and experiences to help the homeowner understand the processes, because the bank will only tell them what the bank wants them to know. Dwan wants you to be educated so you can educate your homeowners and you can be successful.
In this continuing series outlining the 10 options in the Fed Up packet, Dwan discusses equity sharing, subject 2, and short sales. These are the only 3 options in the packet that involve you as a real estate investor making money.
