On this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Dylon Leslie, a quiet but gritty investor who built his real estate portfolio the hard way.

Dylon’s story starts in small-town Nebraska, where he bought his first house at just 20 years old and used roommates to help cover the bills. What started as a simple house hack turned into a long run of creative moves, including 11 house hacks, small-town rentals, 1031 exchanges, and a jump into multifamily investing.

Dylon shares how he went from single-family homes to owning 43 doors, why he focused heavily on Council Bluffs, how he self-manages his portfolio, and what it really takes to live off rental income without a traditional job. He also talks about sleeping in his truck during a renovation, getting help from family to take down a bigger deal, learning the hard way about systems, and why grit has been the biggest factor in his growth.

This episode is a real look at the grind behind building a rental portfolio. No flashy nonsense. No fake guru talk. Just a young investor figuring it out, making mistakes, pushing through, and building something real.
