Brandon reveals how to mitigate risks via pre-sold contracts with national builders (e.g., Lennar, D.R. Horton), structure deals with 18% preferred returns and 65% LTC debt, and capitalize on current market freezes. From Tennessee's cyclical opportunities to biohacking for peak performance (cold plunges, green smoothies, sleep optimization), discover why development offers multiple exits and legacy-building potential—perfect for diversifying beyond multifamily amid rising rates.

    Get my new book: https://bronsonequity.com/fireyourself Download my new special report - How to Use Inflation to Your Advantage - www.bronsonequity.com/inflation In this episode of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson and Nate sit down with legendary real estate investor Dwan Bent-Twyford to explore one of the most unconventional — and profitable — strategies in real estate: buying and revitalizing an entire small-town downtown. Dwan shares the remarkable story of how she and her family began acquiring properties in Clinton, Iowa, eventually owning dozens of parcels and playing a key role in transforming the town’s downtown district. The conversation dives into opportunity zones, owner financing, grant money, small-town incentives, and why shrinking Midwest towns can still produce exceptional cash flow and long-term appreciation. Dwan also reflects on her 35+ year real estate journey — from starting as a broke single mom to completing over 2,000 deals — and explains why focusing on people in distress (foreclosures, probate, divorces, burned-out landlords) has always been her core strategy, regardless of market conditions. Dwan Bent-Twyford is a veteran real estate investor, author, educator, and podcast host with over three decades of experience and more than 2,000 completed deals. Known as the “Queen of Short Sales,” Dwan has built wealth through wholesaling, rehabbing, rentals, and creative financing, while mentoring thousands of investors nationwide. Today, she’s helping revive small-town America—one building at a time.
