What if one small property could change your entire financial future?
In this episode of Yoked Podcast, Travis and Ingrid break down “The Duplex That Built Our Portfolio” — the little 1950s duplex in downtown Littleton that became the foundation of their real estate empire.
They share how they bought it in 2015 for $325,000 using private money, renovated it while living on one side, refinanced into an FHA loan, and later leveraged a $135K HELOC to fund flips, rentals, and lending deals — turning one humble property into over $750,000 in long-term gains and a 6,000% ROI.
This episode dives deep into:
How to use a HELOC to build long-term wealth
Lessons from property management and house hacking
Knowing when to sell and recycle equity
Creative financing, refinancing, and leveraging sweat equity
Why starting small in real estate still works — even in today’s market
Whether you’re a first-time investor, house hacker, or seasoned entrepreneur, this episode shows the power of starting where you are and thinking creatively about your portfolio.
