‘Collecting Keys – Real Estate Investing Podcast,’ hosted by seasoned experts Mike DeHaan, Dan Austin, and Dylan Koch discuss how to use Real Estate to create Massive Income not just Passive Income.
Mike DeHaan is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, and co-host of the Collecting Keys Podcast. After walking away from a five-year career in engineering in 2018, he jumped headfirst into real estate with no blueprint other than an obsession for freedom and the drive to figure it out along the way.
Starting with wholesaling and flips, Mike quickly mastered direct-to-seller marketing and scaled into hundreds of off-market deals across multiple markets. Along the way, he built out systems and teams that gave him what he was ultimately chasing: a business that runs without being chained to one location. Today, he’s able to travel the world with his wife while still closing deals back home.
As his businesses grew, Mike expanded beyond acquisitions into private lending, founding Sir Lends Alot LLC, a hard money lending company built on the same principles of speed, transparency, and creativity that fueled his investing success. Now, in addition to running a national portfolio of real estate deals, he provides funding for other investors chasing their own financial independence.
Through Collecting Keys, Mike brings that journey full circle, sharing the wins, screw-ups, and hard lessons that come from actually doing the work, while continuing to build the kind of life he left his engineering career to find.
Dan Austin is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, and co-host of the Collecting Keys Podcast. Coming from a background as an Army Ranger, Dan stepped into real estate investing with a practical, boots-on-the-ground approach that quickly set him apart. He started out grinding through flips and rentals, mastering the numbers and building systems that turned his side hustle into a full-time career.
Dan’s obsession with efficiency and process has been a key driver behind scaling into hundreds of off-market deals alongside his business partners. His focus on building repeatable, sustainable operations has allowed him to move beyond just doing deals into running real companies that generate long-term wealth.
Today, Dan has leveraged his experience into not only growing his real estate portfolio but also expanding into private lending through Sir Lends Alot LLC, where he helps provide funding solutions for other active investors. Like Mike, he’s built a lifestyle business that gives him freedom, flexibility, and the ability to spend his time where it matters most—whether that’s scaling deals, traveling, or living life on his own terms.
On the Collecting Keys Podcast, Dan is known for his candid, analytical takes and no-fluff advice that cut through the noise and give listeners the real playbook for building a business in real estate.
