The Del Walmsley Radio Show

  Del Walmsley discusses generational fears ahead of the 2026 Expo, noting that young people’s top concerns—financial insecurity, personal failure, and social rejection—are the same struggles past generations faced, including his own experiences with poverty and insecurity. He says today’s challenge is a lack of direction in a fast-changing digital world, and argues that true security comes from who you become, not what you own, because skills, discipline, and knowledge build confidence that can’t be taken away. His solution is education, mentorship, community, and taking concrete action to grow personally and financially, with real estate investing presented as a practical path to gaining control of your future.

  Del Walmsley questions whether traditional retirement is still realistic for most Americans, pointing to the growing gap between what people think they need to retire and what they have actually saved. He explains that retirement has become more difficult due to rising healthcare costs, increasing housing expenses, and longer life expectancy, pressures that Social Security alone cannot handle. Rather than relying solely on savings, he presents a simple but powerful solution: build passive income. Creating steady income streams is the key to protecting your lifestyle and your future, because you only get one shot at retirement. Ready?

  Del Walmsley welcomes Jeff and Elizabeth Laflame, who share their journey into real estate shaped by military life, early setbacks, and persistence. After buying a home in 2007 just before the crash and completing a short sale, they stepped away from investing until joining Lifestyles Unlimited in 2020. The turning point came when Elizabeth understood returns on equity and cash-on-cash returns and saw how inefficient their money had been working. With education and mentorship, they completed their first successful deal and gained the confidence to pursue additional properties while investing passively in multifamily deals. Ready?

  Del Walmsley responds to a listener’s question about choosing between a 401(k) and rental real estate by outlining the long-term realities of both paths. He explains that while 401(k)s are promoted for automatic payroll deductions and employer matches, they depend on decades of personal contributions and are eventually taxed. In contrast, rental real estate allows tenants to pay down debt, generate ongoing cash flow, and benefit from appreciation. His message is simple: leverage, unlimited growth potential, and tax efficiency make rental real estate a far more powerful vehicle for building wealth and sustaining retirement income than a 401(k).

  Del Walmsley hosts a Tell Del Tuesday episode featuring Gordon Polk, who explains how decades of disciplined investing in the stock market and mutual funds failed to produce the retirement he was promised. His turning point came during the two-day intensive, where he realized he could own multiple properties and that rental income could pay for the properties themselves. With guidance from mentors and constant exposure to other successful investors, Gordon shifted both his strategy and his mindset, growing his net worth from roughly $200,000 to about $1.5 million. While he admits the scarcity mindset from growing up poor never fully disappears, he now has systems and income in place that protect his wealth and give him a clear, sustainable path to long-term financial freedom.

  Del Walmsley shares a personal story about holiday spending and growing up frugal, contrasting the waste he sees around him with the discipline required to build wealth. He explains his long-standing strategy of buying one new investment property every year and using that property’s cash flow to cover all holiday and gift expenses. Del highlights how consistent annual acquisitions steadily grow net worth and income over time. He reminds listeners that the greatest gift they can give is showing their family what success looks like—and that real change starts with taking action now, before another year passes. Ready?

  Del Walmsley hosts David and Stephanie Stout from West Lafayette, Indiana, as they share their 30-year journey of family, business, and discovering real estate the right way. Their turning point came when David accidentally heard Del’s radio show after a mechanic changed his truck’s station and the message immediately resonated. They took the 2-day class online where the Lifestyles Unlimited system provided the clarity and confidence they had been missing. The couple emphasizes teamwork, a shared vision, and the excitement of finally finding a system that works. Their focus is on freeing David from the demands of the construction business while accelerating their path toward financial freedom. Ready?

  Del shares his journey from dead end jobs to pursuing financial freedom through investing. He reflects on leaving college early, realizing it would not make him wealthy, and strategically moving to fast growing warm cities to seize opportunities. He worked low paying exploitative jobs where he learned sales, persistence, and business fundamentals. Each role exposed him to unethical practices and dead end structures, reinforcing his desire to create wealth on his own terms. These early experiences became essential lessons that shaped his mindset and approach to building financial independence. Ready?

  Del Walmsley explains why the current market is ideal for buying and why preparation is everything. He reviews his monthly “family office” process, where he evaluates his investments and moves capital into higher-return opportunities. He then dives deeper into the six ways real estate creates wealth, with a strong emphasis on leverage and the power it has to multiply returns. Del stresses that most people fail in real estate because they try to do it alone, misunderstand its counterintuitive principles, and stay trapped in the rat race instead of taking action to change their financial future.

  Del Walmsley hosts Jeffrey and Annette Barnes on his radio show, sharing their journey from military service and corporate careers to real estate investing. Their first major success was buying a Chicago property for $30,000, renovating it, and refinancing to fund additional rental home acquisitions. Despite challenges with tenant laws in Chicago, they utilize vendor lists and property management to invest successfully in out-of-state, landlord-friendly markets. Ultimately, real estate has given them the freedom to travel, spend time with family, pursue personal projects, and plan for continued growth and community involvement. Ready?

  Del Walmsley challenges the illusion of job security, even in so-called “safe” government positions, reminding listeners that no job is truly guaranteed. Using the recent government shutdown as an example, he illustrates how quickly paychecks can stop and how fragile dependence on a single source of income can be. He stresses that true financial security comes not from employment but from building passive income streams, urging listeners to take control of their finances, invest wisely, and leverage opportunities to achieve lasting financial stability and a higher quality of life, rather than relying on jobs or government support.

  Del Walmsley discusses the long-term nature of real estate investing and the dangers of overreacting to market fluctuations. He emphasizes that real estate should not be treated as a speculative tool to “time the market,” but as a vehicle for building lasting passive income when purchased at the right price and managed effectively. Del stresses that proper education, mentorship, and strategic guidance are far more cost-effective than learning through mistakes, urging investors to seek support before making major financial decisions.

  Del Walmsley is joined by Dan on Tell Del Tuesday. Former hospital CFO Dan Goggin retired believing his financial models and stock market strategy would secure his future—until a sharp market drop in 2022 made him rethink his approach.

He quickly joined, became a lead investor, and syndicated his first 16-unit apartment property, achieving steady occupancy and strong returns. Dan credits the program’s detailed training, supportive mentors, and like-minded investors for helping him transition from market speculation to stable, cash-flowing assets and long-term financial freedom.

He explains why partnerships and college rentals often lead to conflict and poor returns, and warns against speculative strategies like flipping lots or buying condos at market highs.
