In this episode of The Mailbox Money Show, Bronson Hill and Nate Hambrick sit down with real estate icon Rod Khleif to discuss mindset, reinvention, and one of the biggest investment opportunities of the next decade — senior housing.
Rod shares how losing over $50 million during the 2008 crash reshaped his approach to goals, decision-making, and gratitude. He breaks down the coming “silver tsunami,” why senior housing faces a massive supply shortage, and how returns compare to multifamily real estate. The conversation also explores AI disruption, career reinvention, and why owning responsibility is the fastest path to growth.
This episode is packed with insights for investors looking to stay ahead of major economic and demographic shifts.

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.

In this episode of The Mailbox Money Show, host Bronson Hill and co-host Nate Hambrick dive into one of the most unique—and overlooked—real estate asset classes in the U.S.: marinas. With over 10,000 marinas nationwide and less than 5% consolidated by major operators, this niche offers remarkable opportunities for passive investors seeking strong cash flow, high occupancy, and compelling returns.
Joining the show is Josh Conley, COO of New Haven Marinas. Coming from a successful background in oil and gas, Josh now leads operations in a rapidly expanding marina portfolio backed by private equity partners. He grew up around marinas, understands the culture, and now helps investors access an asset class that behaves like “multifamily on the water”—with year-round demand, surprisingly low turnover, and impressive IRRs.
Josh shares what makes marina investing so attractive, how it compares to more traditional real estate categories, what risks operators must navigate, and why this sector is poised for significant consolidation and growth.
If you're curious about alternative real estate opportunities, want to understand the economics of marinas, or are looking for ways to diversify beyond multifamily and self-storage, this conversation opens the door to a whole new world of mailbox money.
