What we talk about
Less theory, more "here's what happened."
Every guest brings a real business, a real portfolio, or a real skill. We ask how it works, what it costs, and where it went sideways.
Real estate investing
Buy and hold, BRRRR, flips, private lending, and the deals that taught our guests the most.
Property management
What running hundreds of Indianapolis doors looks like from the inside: leasing, maintenance, tenants, and owners.
Running a small business
Hiring, systems, cash flow, and the unglamorous decisions behind a company that lasts.
Central Indiana
Neighborhoods, the numbers, and the people shaping the market, with the occasional detour beyond the state line.
Your hosts
Two people who run the business they talk about.
Between them, Ryan and Stuart buy, lease, manage and renovate Indianapolis real estate every day. The questions come from that.
Ryan Rominger
Founder of Intrigue
Founder of Intrigue Real Estate & Property Management, investor, and the one who keeps asking "but what did that actually cost you?"
Stuart Smith
Operations Director
Runs operations at Intrigue and brings a decade of property management experience to every conversation about how things really get done.
