Uncontested Investing Podcast - January 13, 2026
In this episode of Uncontested Investing, Suzanne and I break down one of the biggest unlocks for scaling your real estate portfolio: building a repeatable process that drives consistent growth. We walk through the full lifecycle of a deal, from deal sourcing, underwriting, financing, operations, property management, to exit strategy and show you how to turn each step into a system you can run again and again, in any market.
We talk about practical tools like CRMs, project management platforms, cost-estimation software, virtual assistants, and outbound call partners, plus the habits and mindset you need to stick to your buy box, remove emotion from decisions, and constantly refine your process.
If you’re looking to scale from “doing deals” to running a real real estate investing business, this episode will help you tighten up your systems, build a better team, and create the kind of predictability every investor wants in an unpredictable market.

Quotables “The market can bounce off the walls… if you can have that tunnel vision on what works for you and block out the rest of the noise, that’s where you’re going to find success and consistent growth.” “Without numerous properties, you can’t build a repeatable process.” “One month of vacancy, you could easily say, is a hundred dollars off the rental rate that you want to get just to not have it vacant.”
