In this episode of the Relentless Growth Podcast, Chase Calhoun and Jack Maher break down where real opportunity exists in today’s shifting real estate market—especially for new and aspiring investors.

After a couple of turbulent years, the market is beginning to show signs of movement again—but it’s not the same game it was during the boom. Chase and Jack dive into what’s changed, what’s working now, and how beginners can position themselves to win without getting burned.

They cover:

• Why conservative underwriting and having a Plan B (and C) is more important than ever
• Emerging opportunities in smaller markets and overlooked areas
• The return of “old-school” strategies like BRRRR and value-add rehabs
• How new construction, build-to-rent, and house hacking are making a comeback
• Why fewer competitors today might be your biggest advantage
• How to read market signals from banks, institutions, and policy trends

If you’re just getting started—or looking to get back into real estate after sitting on the sidelines—this episode will help you think strategically, avoid common pitfalls, and take action with confidence.

Key takeaway: Pick a strategy, stay disciplined, and play the long game—because in this market, flexibility wins.
