    #213: Your W-2 Is a Weapon — How to Build a Rental Portfolio Without Burning It Down - Cory Jacobson

    What if the goal isn't to quit your job fast — but to build something that makes quitting irrelevant? In this episode, Chris sits down with Cory Jacobson, co-founder of the Wealth Juice Podcast and a real estate investor who grew his portfolio to 90 units while working a W-2 — starting from a $35,000/year job with the Philadelphia 76ers. Cory built his portfolio through house hacking, duplexes, and a disciplined long-game approach before going full-time in 2024. Now he helps high-income W-2 earners acquire their first rental property within 3–6 months without quitting their job. In this episode you'll learn: How Cory went from $35K/year at the Philadelphia 76ers to 90 units Why house hacking is still the most underrated entry point in real estate The realistic timeline for replacing W-2 income with rental income — and why most people get it wrong Why Cory views cash flow as a tax tool, not a job replacement How only 10% of real estate agents are actually investors — and why that's your edge The out-of-state markets his team targets right now: Augusta GA, Detroit MI, Milwaukee WI His goal of reaching 500 units to bring property management in-house This is a no-hype, long-game conversation about building real wealth through real estate. 🔗 Connect with Cory Jacobson: Instagram: @corey_jacobson Wealth Juice Podcast: @wealthjuiceofficial 🎙️ Follow Chris: Instagram: @chris.reichenbach TikTok: @chris.reichenbach #RealEstateInvesting #HouseHacking #LeadwayPodcast #RealEstatePodcast #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom #RentalProperties #LongGameInvesting #W2ToRealEstate #PassiveIncome #RealEstateStrategy #WealthJuice #OutOfStateInvesting #MultifamilyInvesting #Entrepreneurship #EscapeThe9to5 #RealEstateInvestor #PropertyInvesting #BuildingWealth #RealEstateMentorship

    #212: Is Your W-2 Holding You Back? How Grant 10X'd His Portfolio When He Quit - Grant Francke

    From railroad conductor to 215 units — Grant Francke didn't have a head start. He had a process. In this episode, Chris sits down with Grant Francke, a Nebraska-based real estate investor who spent 13 years as a railroad conductor before going all-in on real estate in 2019. Starting with duplexes and the BRRRR method, Grant quietly built a foundation that allowed him to scale to over 215 units — including a 44-unit property — through networking, systems, and a relentless commitment to the same fundamentals he started with. In this episode you'll learn: How Grant transitioned from a W-2 railroad job to full-time real estate investor Why the BRRRR method on small multifamily is the foundation for scaling to large deals The "hockey stick" effect that happens when you fully commit to real estate How Grant self-manages 215+ units using systems and QR codes for maintenance Why cash flow is a defensive tool — not your primary wealth builder Grant's 5-year vision for scaling while protecting his time with family How mentorship from Brandon Turner shifted his entire mindset on growth Grant's book, The Unlikely Investor, is available now on Amazon. 🔗 Connect with Grant Francke: Instagram: @grant.francke 📖 The Unlikely Investor: https://www.amazon.com/Unlikely-Investor-Financial-Freedom-Through/dp/B0D5HYXRJT 🎙️ Follow Chris: Instagram: @chris.reichenbach TikTok: @chris.reichenbach #RealEstateInvesting #BRRRRMethod #LeadwayPodcast #RealEstatePodcast #MultifamilyInvesting #FinancialFreedom #WealthBuilding #RealEstateStrategy #PassiveIncome #SelfManagement #PropertyManagement #SmallMultifamily #RealEstateInvestor #Entrepreneurship #EscapeThe9to5 #UnlikelyInvestor #GrantFrancke #CareerPivot #RealEstateMindset #ScalingUp

    #211: 7 Figure Amazon Seller To 40 Rentals by 26 - Makayla Flood

    From pre-med student to 40-property real estate investor — without a mentor, a trust fund, or a traditional path. In this episode, Chris sits down with Makayla Flood, a self-taught real estate investor who built a portfolio of nearly 40 rental properties across multiple markets using the BRRRR method — most with $10,000 or less left in the deal. Before real estate, Makayla was profiting $10,000/month on Amazon, used it to pay off student loans, and parlayed that capital into her first rental property. Now she runs a full construction operation with a project manager, 6–7 foremen, and crews across Ohio, Georgia, and Tampa. In this episode you'll learn: How Makayla went from pre-med to Amazon to 40 rental properties The exact BRRRR strategy she used to scale with minimal cash left in deals How she built a construction team from one crew to multiple crews across multiple states Why she partners with a key investor to acquire properties faster The challenges of managing quality across multiple markets Her long-term vision: transitioning from flipping to apartment complex development This is a blueprint for anyone who thinks they need a perfect background or a mentor to build real wealth in real estate. 🔗 Connect with Makayla Flood: Instagram: @reimakayla_ 🎙️ Follow Chris: Instagram: @chris.reichenbach TikTok: @chris.reichenbach #RealEstateInvesting #BRRRRMethod #LeadwayPodcast #RealEstatePodcast #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom #SelfTaughtInvestor #RentalProperties #RealEstateStrategy #AmazonSeller #EcommerceToRealEstate #PropertyInvesting #PassiveIncome #RealEstateTips #Entrepreneurship #EscapeThe9to5 #CareerPivot #MultifamilyInvesting #RealEstateInvestor #BuildingWealth

    #210: Hot Tubs, AI, and the Death of Easy Airbnb Money - Caleb Shore

    What does it actually take to win in short-term rentals in 2026 — and is it even worth it? In this episode, Chris sits down with Caleb Shore, co-founder of My Tripify, a Charlotte-based short-term rental management company overseeing ~50 Airbnb properties. Caleb has been in the game since 2020 and has watched the market shift from "throw furniture in a house and profit" to a full-blown hospitality business requiring serious capital and strategy. In this episode you'll learn: Why only 1–2 out of 400–500 properties analyzed weekly are actually viable for short-term rental The amenities with the highest ROI right now (hot tubs, saunas, string lights) How Caleb built a team of 5 and is systematically removing himself from operations Why rental arbitrage is illegal in North Carolina — and what to do instead How Caleb uses AI to run listing optimization and rebuild his entire company website What beginner investors should do instead of jumping straight into STRs If you're thinking about short-term rentals as a wealth-building strategy, listen to this before you spend a dime. 🔗 Connect with Caleb Shore: Instagram: @calebwshore My Tripify: @mytripify 🎙️ Follow Chris: Instagram: @chris.reichenbach TikTok: @chris.reichenbach #ShortTermRentals #Airbnb #RealEstateInvesting #STRInvesting #RealEstatePodcast #LeadwayPodcast #AirbnbHost #PassiveIncome #RealEstateStrategy #WealthBuilding #MyTripify #CharlotteRealEstate #FinancialFreedom #Entrepreneurship #PropertyManagement #AIinBusiness #BuyBackYourTime #RealEstateTips #EscapeThe9to5 #InvestingTips

    #206: We Didn’t Buy The Business... But Here’s What We Learned

    In this solo episode of the Leadway Wealth Builders Podcast, Chris Reichenbach pulls back the curtain on a deal that almost happened — and the real lessons that came from it falling apart. Over the past six months, Chris and his team were deeply involved in negotiating the purchase of a business that they believed could provide consistent active income while opening the door to future real estate development opportunities. After  6 months of negotiations, the deal fell apart one day before the closing documents were set to be signed. Rather than hiding the experience, Chris shares the full story and what investors can learn from it. Chris breaks down the entire acquisition process — from identifying the opportunity, structuring the deal with seller financing, conducting financial analysis, and working through the appraisal process — to the moment the sellers ultimately decided not to move forward. He also discusses the bigger strategic shift that led him to pursue larger opportunities after hearing advice from investor Gideon Spencer about focusing on million-dollar deals rather than smaller transactions. That shift led Chris to explore hospitality businesses, boutique hotels, and eventually a wedding venue that had strong potential for both cash-flowing events and future boutique hotel development. While the deal ultimately failed, the experience provided invaluable lessons in deal structuring, business evaluation, investor communication, and understanding operational cash flow. 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔️ How Chris evaluates potential business acquisition opportunities ✔️ Why some deals fall apart even after terms are agreed upon ✔️ The role investor confidence plays in acquisitions ✔️ Lessons learned from negotiating a seller-financed deal ✔️ Why understanding cash flow is critical when buying a business ✔️ How failed deals can still move you forward as an investor Chris also shares how this experience has reshaped his short-term strategy — focusing on wholesaling deals while continuing to pursue larger acquisition opportunities in the future. Sometimes the best education in business comes from the deals that don’t close. 🎧 Available everywhere you listen to podcasts   📲 Connect with Chris Instagram: @chris.reichenbach TikTok: @chris.reichenbach   #LeadwayWealthBuilders #RealEstatePodcast #EntrepreneurJourney #BusinessAcquisition #RealEstateInvesting #DealMaking #InvestorMindset #EntrepreneurLife #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom

    #205: From Music Dreams to Real Estate Deals – Tre Via

    In this episode of the Leadway Wealth Builders Podcast, Chris sits down with Tre Via, a Charlotte-based real estate investor, wholesaler, and host of the REI Connect Meetup, to break down his journey from chasing a career in the music industry to building a thriving real estate business. After moving to Charlotte in 2019, Tre was working part-time jobs, trading stocks, and searching for opportunities when he was introduced to real estate wholesaling by a business partner. What started with driving for dollars, researching properties, and learning sales techniques quickly turned into a full-time pursuit—especially after the COVID-19 pandemic canceled his planned music tour. Tre shares how his first deal in 2020 took eight months to close, how he went from DoorDash and donating plasma to fund his hustle, and why comparing your progress to others on social media can derail your mindset early in the journey. The conversation also dives into the turning points that helped his company scale—including restructuring their sales process after attending a boot camp with Tiffany and Josh Hyde, tracking KPIs daily, and optimizing team performance. These changes led to $40K–$60K months, expansion into flips, and eventually building a rental portfolio. Tre also breaks down how his team navigated market changes, adjusted marketing strategies, and learned to operate leaner in today’s tighter deal environment. 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔️ How Tre transitioned from the music industry into real estate investing ✔️ The power of hustle in the early days of wholesaling ✔️ Why the first deal often takes longer than expected ✔️ How implementing KPIs and sales systems transformed their business ✔️ Strategies for finding deals through driving for dollars and probates ✔️ How market shifts are changing wholesaling strategies today Tre also shares how he’s building community through the REI Connect meetup and his vision for expanding into larger development projects while continuing to educate new investors through content and networking. Whether you’re brand new to real estate or trying to scale your investing business, this episode highlights the importance of persistence, education, and adapting to changing markets. 🎧 Available everywhere you listen to podcasts 📲 Connect with Tre Instagram: @trezclosedit 📲 Connect with the Host Instagram: @chris.reichenbach TikTok: @chris.reichenbach #LeadwayWealthBuilders #RealEstatePodcast #WholesalingRealEstate #DrivingForDollars #RealEstateInvesting #EntrepreneurMindset #WealthBuilding #InvestorLife #CharlotteRealEstate #FinancialFreedom

    #204: What Business Owners Are Missing When They Start - Tracy Gunn

    In this episode of the Leadway Wealth Builders Podcast, Chris sits down with Tracy Gunn to unpack her entrepreneurial journey — from staying home to raise her children to launching, scaling, and exiting multiple businesses including candy stores, restaurants, and real estate ventures. Tracy shares how she opened her first candy store and expanded to multiple locations — including five in Charlotte — by building scalable systems and focusing on operational efficiency. Rather than chasing complexity, she focused on simplifying product lines, automating processes, and hiring reliable team members she could empower within clear parameters. She breaks down the lessons learned from rapid growth, raising capital responsibly, managing investor relationships, and the financial blind spots that can derail entrepreneurs who scale too quickly. But the most powerful part of this episode? Exit strategy. After being advised by a broker to liquidate one of her businesses, Tracy realized she had built companies without clearly defining what a successful exit looked like. That moment changed everything. She set a six-month timeline to streamline operations, improve profitability, clean up financials, and build a business that could operate — and sell — without her. From automation systems that track sales and employee performance, to structuring investor relationships correctly, to planning for unexpected life events, Tracy delivers a masterclass in building businesses that create freedom instead of dependency. 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔️ Why every entrepreneur needs an exit strategy from day one ✔️ How to scale brick-and-mortar businesses with systems ✔️ The power of delegation and operational clarity ✔️ Why simplifying operations increases profitability ✔️ How to build a business that runs without you ✔️ What makes a company truly valuable and sellable Whether you're a real estate investor, small business owner, or entrepreneur building toward financial freedom, this episode will challenge you to think beyond income — and start building toward intentional exit. 🎧 Available everywhere you listen to podcasts   📸 Follow for more real estate & wealth-building conversations on Instagram & Tik Tok: @chris.reichenbach   📲 Connect with Tracy Gunn: Instagram: @thetracygunn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thetracygunn/   #LeadwayWealthBuilders #EntrepreneurPodcast #BusinessExitStrategy #SystemsAndScale #SmallBusinessOwner #RealEstateInvesting #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom #BusinessGrowth #EntrepreneurMindset

    What does it look like to build wealth, freedom, and confidence through real estate — while creating space for more women at the table? In this episode of the Leadway Wealth Builders Podcast, Chris sits down with Jenny Rodriguez, real estate investor, agent, and community builder, to unpack her journey and mission to empower women through investing. Jenny shares how her real estate journey began in 2014 with buying and selling a townhouse that allowed her to pay off student loans early. After transitioning from a legal career and earning her real estate license in 2019 to gain more flexibility as a mom, Jenny went all-in on investing alongside her husband and brother-in-law. Their first flip in 2022 became the turning point that proved real estate could be more than a side hustle — it could be the foundation of their family’s future. Throughout the episode, Jenny breaks down how they scaled from cash flips to hard money and private capital, the costly lessons learned from hiring the wrong contractors, and why defining clear roles within their team transformed their business.

    In this episode of The Leadway Wealth Builders Podcast, Chris sits down with Kevin Riggi, founder of Fast Forward House Buyers, to unpack one of the most relatable and inspiring transitions in entrepreneurship — leaving a stable, six-figure corporate career to build a life of freedom in real estate.
