In this episode of Real Money Talks, I sit down with Mike, who recently inherited a 10-acre ranch in Texas. He’s got big ideas that range from tiny homes and Airbnbs to personal training and even cattle. Listen in as I walk him through how to turn that land into multi-stream property income.

But Mike’s not the only one getting advice today.

I also answer listener questions about starting a business with no experience, investing with limited funds, crafting a business plan for a thriving plumbing company, and maximizing tax strategies with the right corporate structure.

Whether it’s Airbnb rentals, running training camps, or building livestock operations, I explain why it all starts with a master plan one that is grounded in numbers, tax strategy, and long-term compliance.

If you’ve got land, a side hustle idea, or questions about how to make your money work smarter, this episode is packed with real talk and real strategies to get you moving forward.
