    The Episode with The Boss, Sara Kadlec!

    In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan sits down with his wife, Sara, to talk about what entrepreneurship actually looks like when both people in the house are building something of their own. Sara shares how she went from nursing to building a full-time food blog, and Ryan talks about what it's been like making his own jump from a steady corporate job into entrepreneurship. They get into the fun parts, the stressful parts, and the stuff people don't always talk about—comparison, imposter syndrome, family pressure, risk, and trying not to let the business take over everything. They also talk about how they've learned to take risks without being reckless, why having a plan matters, and what they hope their kids pick up from watching them build, fail, pivot, and keep going. 00:00 Introduction to Entrepreneurship Journey 02:36 Sarah's Transition from Nursing to Entrepreneurship 05:05 Navigating the Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster 07:24 Balancing Business and Family Life 09:49 Understanding Risk in Entrepreneurship 13:28 Lessons for the Next Generation 20:07 Rapid Fire Questions and Conclusion Sara's Blog: https://thebetteredblondie.com/ RYAN: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ryankadlec.tx/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.kadlec86/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-kadlec-485911b9 Email: ryan@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 469-587-8093 JOEL: FB: https://www.facebook.com/joel.kadlec.2025 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kadlec.joel/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@joelkadlec Email: joel@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 918-880-2937 KNOW SOMEONE?

    Higher ARV, Less Competition with Kyle Eli!

    In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan sits down with Texas investor Kyle Eli to talk about how a background in construction, engineering, and wholesaling shaped the way he approaches flipping today. Kyle shares why he intentionally targets higher-price-point deals with bigger spreads, how he thinks about competition, and why buying right matters more than trying to force profit out of the back end of a project. He also breaks down how he vets contractors, protects his capital while scaling, and uses disciplined reserves to avoid getting stretched too thin. 00:00 Introduction to Real Estate Investing 02:40 Kyle Eli's Background and Transition 05:00 Investment Strategy: Targeting Higher Price Points 07:37 Finding and Vetting Contractors 10:05 Scaling and Growth in Real Estate 12:44 Advice for New Investors 15:02 Rapid Fire Questions and Closing Thoughts 🍽 FOOD RECS https://www.panthercitybbq.com/ CONNECT WITH KYLE: KE Homebuyers - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582282095689 RYAN: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ryankadlec.tx/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.kadlec86/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-kadlec-485911b9 Email: ryan@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 469-587-8093 JOEL: FB: https://www.facebook.com/joel.kadlec.2025 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kadlec.joel/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@joelkadlec Email: joel@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 918-880-2937 KNOW SOMEONE?

    Is Networking a Waste of Time?

    Are real estate networking events actually worth your time? In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan shares what he has learned from attending meetup groups across Dallas-Fort Worth while building FixedLending's presence in Texas. He breaks down what makes a networking group worth returning to, how to avoid wasting time, and why the real value is not collecting business cards—it is building relationships that can turn into opportunities months down the road. Ryan also explains why consistency matters, how he judges whether an event is worth the time investment, and why follow-up is where most of the real networking work happens. At FixedLending, the goal is not to walk into a room looking for an immediate loan. It is to meet people, add value, build trust, and create relationships before the deal ever shows up.

    Fail as Fast as Possible! with Corey Scarpa

    In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan sits down with Oklahoma investor and property manager Corey Scarpa to talk about what real estate looks like when you've seen both sides of the business: what sells fast and what actually holds up over time. Corey started investing at just 18 years old by renting out rooms in a house next door to his dad. Today, he manages around 140 doors, helps investors buy and sell, flips properties, and works closely with the Tulsa real estate community. The conversation covers everything from tenant screening and CapEx to contractor red flags, project management, and why understanding a neighborhood can make or break a deal. One of Corey's biggest takeaways: flipping teaches you what sells on day one, but property management teaches you what lasts through year three. CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Real Estate Journeys 02:37 Corey's Unique Path into Real Estate 04:59 Building a Property Management Business 07:21 Lessons from Flipping and Managing Properties 09:53 Common Mistakes in Property Management 12:26 Project Management for Investors 14:42 Evaluating Investment Opportunities 17:11 Rapid Fire Questions and Personal Insights Tulsa REIA - https://tulsareia.com/ 🍽 Andolini's - https://andopizza.com/ CONNECT WITH COREY https://www.scarpaproperties.com/ RYAN: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ryankadlec.tx/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.kadlec86/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-kadlec-485911b9 Email: ryan@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 469-587-8093 JOEL: FB: https://www.facebook.com/joel.kadlec.2025 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kadlec.joel/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@joelkadlec Email: joel@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 918-880-2937 KNOW SOMEONE?

    Do You Stay Grounded? 5 Tips In Navigating Success and Failure

    Success and failure can both distort the way you see yourself. A great deal can make you feel like you have mastered the business. A bad one can make you question whether you belong in it at all. In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan shares five reminders for staying grounded through the highs and lows of real estate entrepreneurship. He breaks down why success and failure are events—not your identity—why your process matters more than any single deal, and why investors need to evaluate themselves over a longer horizon instead of reacting emotionally to every win or setback. This episode is a candid look at the mental side of building a business, staying disciplined when things are going well, and maintaining confidence when they are not. IN THIS VIDEO: 00:00 Intro 02:50 Tip 1 - Successes and failures are events 03:54 Tip 2 - Judge your process 05:07 Tip 3 - Build your identity outside of business. 06:47 Tip 4 - Evaluate success in timeframes 09:22 Tip 5 - Humility in success, confidence in failure RYAN: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ryankadlec.tx/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.kadlec86/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-kadlec-485911b9 Email: ryan@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 469-587-8093 JOEL: FB: https://www.facebook.com/joel.kadlec.2025 IG: https://www.instagram.com/kadlec.joel/ TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@joelkadlec Email: joel@fixedlending.com CALL or TEXT: 918-880-2937 KNOW SOMEONE?

    How We Use AI to Underwrite Your Deals

    Artificial intelligence is changing the way real estate investors analyze deals—but should it be making your investment decisions? In this episode of Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan shares how AI fits into his underwriting process as a private lender. From reviewing scopes of work and analyzing appraisals to catching red flags faster, AI has become a powerful tool for improving efficiency. But there's one thing it should never replace: your judgment. Ryan explains why the fundamentals of underwriting haven't changed, how the Four C's still drive every lending decision, and where investors should draw the line between automation and experience. If you're wondering how to use AI without becoming overly dependent on it, this episode offers a practical framework you can apply to every deal.

    MARKET INSIGHT JUNE 2026: What are the OK & TX Markets Telling Us?

    This week on Fund Flip Repeat, Ryan breaks down what the latest market data is really saying about real estate investing in Texas and Oklahoma—and more importantly, what investors should do with it. Are prices falling? Is now the time to wait? Or are there still opportunities hiding in today's market? Using June 2026 market data, Ryan compares Texas, DFW, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City, then shares two investing strategies that are working right now—from staying below the median price point for faster exits to pursuing higher-margin projects backed by strong local data.
