Built Between Bedtimes – Episode 11: The First Kick, the Foreclosure Cartel, and How Rob Bought a House for $1 Over the Bid

In this episode, Dylan feels his baby girl kick for the first time — and responds by reading her a book through the belly. It's baby season all around: a partner's wife is being induced mid-recording, and Rob's sales team is quietly celebrating a teammate's paternity leave. Then things get interesting. Rob pulls back the curtain on the foreclosure auction world — courthouse steps, trustee sale lists, insider networks, and the Salem property he snagged for literally one dollar over the opening bid with nobody else in the room. Plus, why catching a seller before auction might be the single best deal structure in real estate, and why the guys think Oregon's trustee cartel deserves a Vice documentary.

Built Between Bedtimes – Episode 10: 150 People Showed Up, the Guy Who Owns 7% of America's RV Parks, and the Tax Secret Hiding in 61 Houses

In this episode, Rob's Sub2 meetup is about to be standing room only — 150 people registered for an 80-person space — and the guys break down why Pace Morby's Creative Nation Tour turned a real estate event into a room where actual deals were closing in the crowd. Chris just got back from Squad Up Summit in Denver, where it snowed after a 75-degree dinner at Casa Bonita. Then Dylan drops some numbers that'll make you rethink everything — a 61-property investor who's been leaving hundreds of thousands on the table every year, a California hotel deal with $1.4M in tax savings, and a deep dive into why comparing real estate to the S&P 500 is the wrong math entirely.

Built Between Bedtimes – Episode 9: Five Pods of Whales, a 15-Year Storm, and the AI That Saved Us $4,000 in Legal Fees

In this episode, Dylan finally makes it back from Hawaii — just barely — after a once-in-15-years storm dumped two feet of rain on Maui, stranded flights, and turned a family vacation into a survival mode situation with twin four-year-olds and toilet paper earplugs. Chris recaps a Legoland daddy-daughter trip where they arrived late, left late, and somehow squeezed in seven rides. Then the conversation goes deep on AI — how Rama Capital used Claude to redline a PSA instead of paying $4–5K in legal fees, why the guys are rethinking how they hire, and why the most dangerous thing you can do right now is ignore what AI is doing to your industry.

Built Between Bedtimes – Episode 8: The Birthday She Never Forgot, the Arm That Smelled Terrible, and the Business Hiding in Plain Sight

In this episode, Rob's daughter brings up a memory he wishes she'd forgotten — the birthday where a deal took priority over being present — and the honest conversation that followed. Then Chris's son Tanner finally gets his cast off after four weeks, revealing everything you never wanted to know about what happens inside a cast on a four-year-old. Plus — the guys get into the real cost of doing everything yourself as an entrepreneur, why handing off to a VA might be the highest-ROI decision you're not making, and how Hireflow VA was born from a meetup conversation, a three-year assistant relationship, and a lot of people who kept asking "can I just use yours?"

Built Between Bedtimes – Episode 7: She Cried in the Bathroom, and the Deal We Almost Fell in Love With

In this episode, Dylan's in Maui and Chris and Rob are holding it down — talking about Rob's daughter's first job at Pizza Hut, a canceled order, a bathroom breakdown, and what it actually means to care about doing good work. Then the conversation shifts to the real cost of buying multifamily that looks great on paper: Chris tours two properties and discovers that spreadsheets don't tell you about 40% tenant turnover, units that feel like closets, or homeless camps cropped out of listing photos. Plus — why Rama Capital is pumping the brakes on new LOIs, and what $20–30K in due diligence costs actually at risk per deal.
