Real Estate Rookie is a real estate podcast designed specifically for beginners who are ready to start building a rental property portfolio but are not sure where to begin. Hosted by Ashley Kehr and Tony J Robinson, the show combines real-world deal breakdowns, one-on-one coaching sessions, and a supportive community to help listeners take their first — or next — steps toward financial freedom. New episodes air every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, making it one of the most consistent resources available for early-stage investors.
Listeners of this real estate podcast gain practical knowledge across a wide range of beginner-focused topics, including how to analyze rental properties, estimate rehab costs, evaluate BRRRR versus turnkey strategies, and decide whether to self-manage or hire a property manager. Ashley Kehr and Tony J Robinson bring on guests who share honest accounts of their own journeys — from investors who closed their first deal with no money down to those who built portfolios of 10 or more properties while working full-time or raising large families. The show also features "Rookie Reply" segments that answer the most common questions new investors face, such as whether to pay off a rental or buy more properties and how to handle inherited tenants.
Real Estate Rookie is built for aspiring investors seeking their first, second, or third deal, as well as those who want a modest, sustainable portfolio rather than rapid scaling. It draws on expertise across industries, offering investment inspiration grounded in real numbers and achievable timelines. Whether a listener is starting from zero savings, navigating a demanding schedule, or simply looking for a clear roadmap, this show provides the tools and guidance needed to move forward with confidence.
