Max Moore & Tyler Lingle — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Ethan Fernhaber is one of Indianapolis's most respected multifamily real estate developers — and he started with a $20,000 double wide trailer.

In this episode of The Roots Podcast, Indianapolis developer Ethan Fernhaber breaks down how he scaled from single family homes to 5,000+ multifamily units across Indiana, how to make the jump from residential to commercial real estate, and what faith-driven investing actually looks like at scale.

If you're an Indianapolis real estate investor trying to understand multifamily investing, raise capital, or scale beyond single family — this one is required watching.

Here's what we cover:
• How Ethan went from a $20K estate sale to large apartment complexes (and what nearly broke him)
• The real roadmap from single family to multifamily real estate
• How to raise capital and structure your first commercial deal
• Why he employs formerly incarcerated individuals at 25%+ of his workforce — and why it works
• "Keep your chips on the table" — the compounding wealth philosophy that changed everything
• How purpose and assignment separate operators who scale from those who quit

This episode is for young professionals, first-time home buyers, and aspiring real estate investors who want clarity, not hype.

The Interest Rate Lie Everyone Believes | Roots Pod #39

Max Moore & Tyler Lingle — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 07:15:00 -0500

In this episode, Max Moore and Tyler Lingle tackle one of the most misunderstood questions in real estate investing and home buying:Should you ever buy a property based solely on interest rates?

With rates hovering around the 6–7% range, many buyers feel frozen on the sidelines—waiting for “better” conditions. But is that actually the smart move?

In this conversation, we break down:

- Why interest rates matter far less long-term than most people think

- The difference between buying a primary residence vs. an investment property

- Why location, purchase price, and cash flow beat rates every time

Secrets From a $5 Billion Real Estate Mogul! | Roots Pod #35

Max Moore & Tyler Lingle — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 09:33:00 -0500

In this recap episode, Max Moore and Tyler Lingle break down their conversation with Tadd Miller — CEO and Co-Founder of Milhaus, a major Indianapolis commercial real estate developer with over $5B+ in residential and commercial projects. Tadd’s perspective on scaling, equity, development, and long-term wealth is a wake-up call for any investor trying to level up.

His core message: do your homework. Whether you’re buying your first single-family rental or preparing for a large commercial development, the path to real scale requires reps, mentorship, and intentional learning.

Max and Tyler’s top takeaways:

Why “doing your homework” is the foundation of any scalable portfolio

How Tadd built expertise across architecture, construction, residential & commercial development

Why single-family rentals alone won’t create generational equity

How to decide whether you’re built to scale or stay small

Why deals with a real “moat” generate long-term wealth

If you’re questioning your strategy, your scale, or the steps you’re taking toward true equity and wealth building… this episode brings clarity.

Max Moore & Tyler Lingle — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 07:40:00 -0500

On this episode of The Roots Podcast, Tyler Lingle and Max Moore sit down with Tadd Miller, co-founder and CEO of Milhaus, a $5B+ real estate firm reshaping urban neighborhoods.

Tadd breaks down why running a 1-unit deal vs. a 200-unit deal isn’t as different as people think - and what that means if you actually want generational wealth, not just a handful of rentals.

He shares why he sold off his single-family portfolio, how to think about scale vs. “starter” deals, and when high-income professionals should stop buying more houses and start backing the right operators instead.

• 30-year vs 50-year mortgage payment and interest comparisons
• How a 50-year loan could change investor cash flow and qualification
• Why this might boost prices more than it boosts true affordability
• The “use it as a bridge then refi” strategy (and its risks)

The Hidden Value of a Realtor & Building a 20-Year Career in Real Estate | Jason O’Neil Interview

In this episode of The Roots Podcast, founders Max Moore and Tyler Lingle sit down with Jason O’Neil—president of Circle Real Estate and one of Indianapolis’s top-producing agents—to unpack what truly separates good Realtors from great ones.

With nearly 20 years in the industry, hundreds of luxury transactions averaging $750K, and experience leading brokerages of 350+ agents nationwide, Jason reveals why success in real estate is less about prospecting and more about being a true practitioner.

From his “3 C’s” framework (clarity, confidence, commitment) to building a boutique brokerage and managing high-stakes client relationships, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the hidden value a great agent brings—and what it takes to build a lasting career in a constantly changing market.

We sat down with John Murphy, President of MJW Mortgage, who’s scaled a values-based mortgage company with zero fluff. He breaks down how lending really works, the lies most agents believe about loans, and the truth about why most people stay broke. From mastering your revenue/expense mindset to becoming mentally tough, John lays out what it actually takes to lead, provide, and win in business — without losing your soul in the process.
