Hi, I’m Ben Grotzke, a realtor and real estate investor based in Des Moines, Iowa, with a passion for uncovering hidden opportunities in smaller Iowa markets. I specialize in properties where grants, tax incentives, and creative financing can turn a standard deal into a high-return investment. Whether it’s residential rentals, motels, mobile home parks, or mixed-use properties, I help clients see the potential others overlook, navigate local incentives, and execute deals that maximize value. My goal is simple: connect people to properties, investors, and strategies that create real wealth while supporting the communities they’re in.

What’s going on everyone? My name is Travis. I’m a full time real estate investor, focused mainly on acquisitions and structuring deals in small markets. I’ve been in the business for about 8 years now, and everything I know came from being in the field. Driving for dollars, having real conversations, messing up, learning, and staying consistent until things started to click. I primarily operate in smaller markets where deals aren’t always obvious. Fewer buyers, tighter margins, and less room for guessing. You have to actually understand what you’re doing and think through deals the right way. Alongside me is my partner David, who’s been a big part of building this as well. We work together on deals and share the same approach when it comes to keeping things simple, honest, and effective. What I focus on is simple: Real conversations, Clear thinking on deals, Consistent action. This group isn’t about hype or theory. It’s about: How to actually talk to sellers How to think like a real buyer How to stay consistent when nothing is working yet How to build confidence through reps, not information If you’re here, you’re probably trying to get your first deal or figure out how to become consistent. That’s exactly what this is for. I’m here to share what’s worked for me, what hasn’t, and help you avoid wasting time on things that don’t move the needle. No pressure, no pitch. Just real game. If you’re new, introduce yourself and let me know where you’re at.
