Real Investing — How to Beat the Bank

The bank holds your money, pays you a little for the privilege, and lends it back out for a lot more. This show is about getting on the other side of that trade — one conversation at a time, with investors who stopped working for their money and got their money working for them.

What the show is about

Every investor starts in the same place. Do a deal, make a little money, prove it works. Most of them want to end up somewhere else — income that arrives without the tenants, the toilets, the evictions and the eleven o’clock phone call.

This show is about that move. Not the theory of it. The people who actually made it, telling you what it cost them and what changed on the other side.

Where every episode sits

Make a little money

Where everyone starts. Do a deal, take a profit, prove it works. Active income, earned with your hands and your time.

Passive income and cash flow

Where most people want to get to. Income that shows up without the job attached to it. This is the episode that does the work.

Wealth and a legacy

What it was all for. Something that outlasts the deals and gets handed to somebody.

You should be able to place every guest on that arc without being told where they are.

Who you will hear from

  • Operators still in the grind. Real numbers, real headaches, no varnish.
  • People who made the jump. Sold the rentals or stopped flipping, and moved to something that pays without asking for their weekends.
  • People living on the other side of it. A portfolio, a plan, and a reason for both.
  • Practitioners. The CPA, the attorney, the note buyer — the mechanics of the move, explained without it turning into a lecture.

Who is behind it

Tim Herriage. About 30 years in this business, roughly $8 billion in transactions and around 2,000 properties — first as the investor writing the check, now as the founder and CEO of Ternus, a lender built for real estate investors. He was the borrower before he was the lender, which is the only reason this conversation is worth having.
