What if you started buying real estate in 2008 – right in the middle of the housing crash – at just 18 years old?
In this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing For Entrepreneurs, Nick Lamagna sits down with Tyler Casey, founder of Pro X Property Management, TMC Construction, and Iron Harbor Capital Partners, to break down how he built a vertically integrated real estate empire managing over 2,100 units across multiple states.
Tyler shares how he went from flipping cheap bank-owned foreclosures (“Oreos”) in small-town Kansas to running a full-service property management, construction, and capital investment business – and why he’s now franchising the exact systems that took him from a broke college kid to a multi-state operator.
But before the scale came the grind. Tyler opens up about learning construction on the fly, recruiting friends to teach him what he didn’t know, protecting his net worth before ever taking a bigger swing, and why most people – self-managers and professionals alike – get property management completely wrong.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How Tyler bought his first rental at 18 and scaled to 175+ units before most investors even get started
✅ The real story behind “Oreo” (bank REO) properties and negotiating seller-friendly bank financing
✅ How he was doing BRRRR deals before the term even existed
✅ Why most property management fails – and what actually separates good operators from bad ones
✅ His transition from single-family renovations to new construction and multifamily development
✅ How and why he’s franchising his property management business model
