The Level Up Real Estate Investing Podcast

Social media makes real estate investing look like easy checks, fast flips, and passive beach money. But what happens when a single skipped step and an inflated ego turn an ”easy six-figure profit” into a three-year nightmare that costs you $150,000 out of your own pocket? 

Welcome to the Level Up Real Estate Investing Podcast. Hosted by Rick Howell—a licensed agent and seasoned investor with two decades of boots-on-the-ground experience in rehabbing and rentals—this isn't your typical highlight-reel investing show. 

Here, you’ll get the raw, unfiltered truth about what it really takes to build a sustainable, profitable real estate business: 

• The Playbook That Works: Systematic, repeatable frameworks for finding, funding, rehabbing, and exiting deals without gambling your hard-earned capital. 

• Real Deal Breakdowns: Honest autopsy reports of massive wins and catastrophic missteps—so you can learn the expensive lessons without paying the tuition yourself. 

• Mindset & Pitfall Protection: How to kill shiny-object syndrome, check greed and ego at the door, and avoid the devastating blind spots that sink even experienced investors. 

Whether you are looking to land your first rehab or scale past your local backyard, tune in for the practical strategies, hard-won wisdom, and proven guardrails you need to protect your downside and level up your business. 

Listen, subscribe, and take notes—because the step you skip is always the one that costs you.
