The podcast covers a wide range of topics related to real estate, including investment strategies, market trends, and personal development in the real estate sector. For example, episodes explore wholesaling practices with experts like Jeremy Beland, the entrepreneurial journey in real estate with Josh Wilson, and practical tips for first-time investors with Andrew Freed.

Beyond the Build is where real entrepreneurship lives. The wins, the hard lessons, the strategies, and the life you are building behind the business.
Hosted by Wendell Butler, military veteran, real estate investor, and operator. No fluff. No filters. Just real conversations on building wealth, scaling businesses, and executing at a higher level.
An update on the market after a few weeks of living with the September rate hike, and how the business has actually changed because of it.
Buyers don’t want to buy at today’s rates, and sellers don’t need to sell since most are sitting on low-rate, high-equity properties. That standoff has frozen transactions, and this episode breaks down why: what to watch (the 10-year treasury, not the Fed headlines), why flipping got paused entirely in favor of development, why the underwriting bar got raised to “home run deals only,” and why the hard money lending side of the business is getting leaned into harder right now. It closes with where rates might be headed next, and the case for staying in the game instead of sitting this market out.
