We’ve talked about long-term rentals. We’ve talked about Airbnb.

But we’ve never talked about this.

In this episode of The Rent-ish Podcast, Zach and Patrick welcome Bailey Kramer, the first guest we’ve ever had, to break down mid-term rentals, the in-between strategy most investors either misunderstand or completely ignore.

Bailey shares how he started investing while still in college, why he chose mid-term rentals over traditional leasing, and what actually makes this strategy work (and fail). We get into the real numbers, why furnishing matters more than people expect, how tenant screening changes by platform, and why mid-term rentals are not the “safe middle ground” everyone assumes.

If you’ve ever wondered whether mid-term rentals are a hidden opportunity or a risky distraction, this episode gives you the honest answer.

No hype. No gurus. Just the reality.

What separates landlords who constantly deal with headaches from those who build stable, profitable portfolios?

In this episode of The Rent-ish Podcast, Zach and Patrick sit down with Ray Glymph, a real estate investor with over 100 doors, to break down one of the most overlooked success drivers in real estate: how you treat your tenants.

Ray explains why treating tenants like customers leads to better retention, fewer evictions, lower turnover, and why lowering rent is often smarter than lowering standards. He walks through practical tenant-screening principles, communication strategies that prevent problems before they start, and lessons learned from managing dozens of units at scale.

You’ll also hear Ray’s approach to fix-and-flip investing, why “ugly” properties can be the most profitable, and how mentorship accelerated his growth as an investor.

If you’re a new or growing landlord looking for practical, real-world education, not hype, this episode breaks down what actually works.

You’ll learn:

• How tenant treatment directly impacts cash flow
• Why strong screening protects your properties long-term
• How clear expectations reduce landlord stress
• What experienced investors do differently from beginners

Ray's courses: 

• Real Estate Inner Circle
• Inner Circle Masterclass

This episode was originally released on December 29, 2025. We’re resurfacing it because, heading into the new year, something has become clear: AI isn’t coming to real estate — it’s already here, and it’s quietly separating operators.

In this episode of The Rent-ish Podcast, Zach and Patrick sit down with William Hollis, founder and CEO of Raise AI, to talk about how artificial intelligence is reshaping real estate investing in ways most people aren’t noticing yet.

This isn’t an AI hype conversation. It’s about leverage.

William breaks down how AI is being used behind the scenes to improve underwriting speed, reduce capital friction, sharpen decision-making, and help serious investors operate more efficiently, without replacing human judgment.

 They also discuss why house hacking remains one of the strongest entry points into investing, the emotional realities of residential real estate, and why investors who dismiss AI as “future tech” may already be falling behind.

If you own multiple units and care about scale, efficiency, and staying competitive over the next cycle, this conversation is worth your time.

In this episode of the Rent-ish Podcast, hosts Zach and Patrick are excited to welcome Mackaylee, a powerhouse in the Kansas City real estate space as an agent, investor, and house flipper with over 10 years of experience. Over the past four years alone, she’s flipped more than 300 units, generating over $45 million in revenue.

In addition to flipping, Mackaylee currently self-manages around 50 rental units, which bring in roughly $80,000 in monthly rent. She’s also actively overseeing multiple rehab projects at any given time, giving her a hands-on perspective across every side of real estate investing.

In this episode, Mackaylee shares her journey into real estate, what it’s really like managing rental properties, and why consistency (and creativity) are essential to long-term success, especially in house flipping. She also breaks down what she’s seeing in the Kansas City rental market, why rental demand is so strong, and the key factors investors should consider when evaluating a property, including curb appeal, market dynamics, and deal strategy.

Whether you’re trying to decide between flipping vs renting, learning how to analyze investment properties, or looking for real-world advice on getting started in real estate investing, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

In this Real Estate Rundown, recorded a week ago, Zach and Patrick break down two major housing stories driving today’s real estate headlines: the federal government reopening after a 43-day shutdown and Trump’s proposed 50-year mortgage plan. They unpack how the shutdown backlog could slow closings, delay USDA and flood insurance approvals, and cloud mortgage rate movements, then dive into whether ultra-long mortgages help buyers or lock them into decades of extra interest. If you care about housing affordability, mortgage trends, real estate investing, or the future of homeownership, this episode gives you a clear, no-nonsense look at what these moves mean for buyers, sellers, and rookies learning the game.

In this Real Estate Rundown, Zach and Pat unpack two big stories with real-world impact:

1. Why your electric bill is about to spike. It’s not just the weather — rising fuel costs, grid strain, and utility hikes are all in play. We break down how this affects homeowners, renters, and the housing market at large. Link

For our Season 1 finale, Zach and Pat go big...dinosaur big. 🦖

First up in Real Estate Reel, we step through the towering doors of the Jurassic Park Visitor Center to uncover the real-life filming locations, wild behind-the-scenes facts, and what it would actually cost to build this cinematic icon today. From its resort-inspired architecture to its pop culture legacy, this fictional property has more real-world influence than you might think.

Then in this week’s Real Estate Horror Story, we follow an agent and their clients into a showing gone sideways, think hit-and-run suspect, armed officer, and a property that suddenly doesn’t feel so worth touring. It’s a true test of where the line is between “great cash flow potential” and “too much risk.”

We wrap Season 1 with laughs, questions only real estate die-hards would debate, and a promise: We’ll be back for Season 2.

In episode seven of The Rent-ish Pod, Zach and Patrick dig into the rural housing trend that’s taking the country by storm: Barndominiums. They break down this New York Times article and share their (very strong) opinions on the rise of barn-style homes, steel siding, and whether they’d actually live in one.

Then, in the RE Reel segment, it’s a throwback to one of the most iconic TV apartments ever — Monica and Rachel’s impossibly spacious New York pad from Friends. Zach and Pat put on their real estate hats and ask: Could this apartment exist in real life... and who’s footing that rent?
