In this solo episode, Todd Dexheimer shares a personal reflection inspired by his 12-year-old son’s endless curiosity. Drawing from a recent experience, Todd emphasizes how the childlike instinct to ask “why” and “how” can be a powerful tool in business growth. Too often, entrepreneurs fall into the trap of thinking they already know enough—or hesitate to ask questions out of pride or fear. Todd challenges listeners to stay genuinely curious when engaging with peers, mentors, and partners. Whether you're just starting out or deep into your journey, there’s always something new to learn. Curiosity isn’t just for kids—it’s a mindset that can unlock insights, spark innovation, and build a better business.

Today, Todd comes to you on-site at one of his multifamily properties, where he’ll dive into a topic that can make or break your real estate business—hiring the right people who share your vision. Whether it's property management, maintenance, or contractors—your team is the face of your investment. If they don’t care about the details, your tenants will notice. And when the small things get ignored—peeling paint, broken lights, messy common areas—it’s not just a bad look... it’s what drives tenants out the door. But when you hire people who see what you see, who care about the experience you’re creating, those little touches become powerful retention tools—and even attract new renters.

Today, Todd dives into one of the biggest questions in housing today: Why do home prices seem so much higher now compared to the 1970s, and is buying still worth it compared to renting? Todd breaks down how inflation, wages, interest rates, and lifestyle changes all play into the dramatic shift in home values. You might be surprised to learn that it’s not just the sticker price that’s changed, but also how we finance, use, and think about housing. He’ll also walk through the real numbers—what homes actually cost back then versus today, and how monthly mortgage payments stack up against current rent prices. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a renter, or a real estate investor, this episode will help you make sense of the market and what smart financial decisions look like right now.
