AuthorHey there— I’m Chase Calhoun: husband to Brenda, dad to Niko and Aspen, Christ-follower, Ironman-in-training, and lifelong real-estate junkie. By day I helm Apex Professional Construction and Apex Real Estate Investments, turning rough lots and worn-out houses into cash-flowing rentals across Central Arkansas. By night (usually in muddy running shoes) I co-host the Relentless Growth podcast, where we unpack the faith, fitness, and business habits that keep the wheels turning when life gets crazy. I bought my first house sight-unseen, camped on the floor while gutting it, and never looked back. Two decades later I’ve rehabbed hundreds of units, poured a few miles of concrete, and learned that quality, integrity, and grit beat quick wins every time. This blog is my open job-site notebook—real numbers, real setbacks, and the tools that actually move the needle. If you’re into building freedom one door, one workout, and one mindset shift at a time, you’re in the right place. Let’s stack bricks and keep pushing forward—together. ArchivesCategories |
