    EP 246: The Hidden Cost of Homeownership: Beyond the Mortgage | Colton Pace
    Jun 8 2026

    Your mortgage isn't the only housing cost that can quietly drain your wealth.

    Many homeowners spend years focusing on interest rates and monthly payments while overlooking one of the biggest long-term expenses attached to homeownership: property taxes. The reality is that failing to manage these costs could mean leaving hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars on the table every year.

    This week, Corwyn J. Melette sits down with Colton Pace, Co-Founder and CEO of Ownwell, a technology platform helping homeowners better understand property taxes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and make smarter long-term financial decisions.

    Drawing from his experience managing real estate assets for ultra-high-net-worth families, Colton explains why wealthy property owners actively monitor their housing costs while many everyday homeowners unknowingly overpay. He shares practical strategies that can help homeowners protect affordability, preserve equity, and treat their homes like the valuable financial assets they truly are.

    If you're a homeowner, aspiring homeowner, investor, or someone focused on building generational wealth, this conversation offers valuable insights into protecting your financial future.

    Key Takeaways:

    • 2:56 – Why wealthy property owners manage costs differently.

    • 5:25 – How property tax appeals can save homeowners money.

    • 7:30 – The hidden affordability impact of property taxes.

    • 10:00 – Why your property assessment may be inaccurate.

    • 12:30 – The reason most homeowners never appeal.

    • 15:00 – Smart ways to reduce ownership costs.

    • 17:30 – Treating your home like a financial asset.

    • 20:00 – The property tax mistake many buyers miss.

    • 21:19 – Protecting family wealth through homeownership.

    Legacy Takeaway:

    "Managing your property taxes and all the other expenses associated with your home... can keep you in the home longer." -Colton

  • EP 241: Why Most Real Estate Investors Fail (And How Data-Driven Investors Win)| Neal Bawa

    EP 241: Why Most Real Estate Investors Fail (And How Data-Driven Investors Win)| Neal Bawa
    May 4 2026

    If you’re investing in real estate based on location, opinion, or what feels right”…

    you might be making one of the biggest mistakes investors make.

    Neal Bawa, widely known as the “Mad Scientist of Multifamily,” challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate investing:

    👉 That using spreadsheets or investing locally means you’re “data-driven.”

    It doesn’t.

    Neal breaks down how most investors are relying on assumptions instead of actual data—and how that mistake can cost them long-term wealth.

    More importantly, he introduces a clear, repeatable framework to identify the best markets in the U.S. using real metrics—not opinions.

    This episode goes beyond strategy. It reshapes how you think about investing, opportunity, and how wealth is actually built.

    Key Takeaway:

    • 03:20 – “The geek inherits the earth” mindset
    • 07:05 – Why most investors aren’t data-driven
    • 08:53 – The myth of local investing
    • 11:40 – The 5 key metrics that matter most
    • 16:40 – Why top cities aren’t always the best investments
    • 21:33 – You don’t need money to invest
    • 22:47 – How investors actually attract capital
    • 27:30 – Building legacy through data-driven decisions

    Legacy Takeaway:

    Real estate isn’t about guessing. It’s about understanding the data, making intentional decisions, and building something that lasts.
