What’s the formula for buying real estate that works for you without turning your life into a never-ending to-do list?

In this episode, we dive into the genius of scaling a portfolio by focusing on high-leverage assets that generate passive income. From the lessons we’ve learned in fixing everything from toilets to entire properties, we share how to keep the cash flowing and let others handle the grunt work.

This isn’t about flipping homes or managing every property yourself—it’s about smart investments that work for you.

We break down how we:

• Moved from self-management to property management for rapid scaling
• Got creative with financing and deal-making when capital was tight
• Negotiate for better seller finance deals, before and after closing
• And yes, we also get into the surprising reality that some of the best deals come when you’re forced to be creative—and broke.

Can you build an $8 million real estate portfolio with just a high school education? Grant Francke didn’t just prove it’s possible—he left his secure railroad job to pursue real estate full-time, creating both financial independence and time freedom for his family.

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, Grant realized the power of real estate to achieve his “why”: more time with his wife and kids. From buying his first duplex to scaling up to over 120 units, Grant’s journey highlights the mindset shifts, strategic relationships, and calculated risks that allowed him to build a life on his terms.

Grant also talks about:

• Buying his first property and broke through the fear of starting
• Building systems and hired a VA to streamline property management
• Using seller financing and personal relationships to secure key deals

What’s the secret to building wealth in real estate while actually improving the communities we invest in? That’s exactly what we’re unpacking in this episode. Forced appreciation, lazy repositioning, and smart moves in “steady-as-she-goes” markets have helped us scale our portfolio and generate time freedom—and we’re sharing everything we’ve learned.

We didn’t start as experts. From 1031 exchanges that made us throw up from nerves to tackling rundown properties in forgotten towns, we’ve made mistakes, learned a ton, and built lasting equity.

In this episode, we talk about how we:

• Took the leap into investing outside our backyard
• Turned tenant feedback into real improvements that paid off
• Balanced risk while staying laser-focused on cash flow

Plus, we break down how bigger properties can be easier—and way more rewarding—than you think.
