Ryan Ingram has published 594 videos on real estate investing to 24,900 subscribers, plus a book on rental property insurance. Not marketing material — deal breakdowns, financing mechanics, and the unglamorous operational detail of running rental property.
All of it is free, none of it is gated behind becoming a client. We manage property for a living; this is where the thinking behind that gets explained. It is organized below by what you are actually trying to work out.
Start with the book
Rental Property Insurance: An Investor’s Guide to Insurance. Ryan wrote it because insurance is the single most commonly misunderstood line item on a rental P&L, and getting it wrong does not show up until you file a claim — at which point it is a five-figure problem instead of a five-minute one.
It covers what a landlord policy actually does, why a homeowners policy on a rented house is a denied claim waiting to happen, what loss-of-rents coverage is worth, and what happens to your coverage while a unit sits vacant.
If you would rather have someone just look at your current policy, Ingram Insurance Group writes landlord and rental property coverage across Ohio and a review costs nothing whether or not we manage the property.
If you own rentals now
The operational material — the part that decides whether a rental makes money or quietly leaks it.
| Series | Videos | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Managing / Operating Your Rental Properties | 64 | The core series. Tenants, turnover, maintenance, systems, and what actually goes wrong. |
| Rental Property Insurance Explained | 9 | The video companion to the book above. Landlord policies, coverage gaps, and the claims that get denied. |
| Real Estate Investing for Beginners | 162 | The largest series on the channel. Rental property principles from first assumptions. |
If you are trying to buy the next one
Financing is where most owners stall out after the first property, and it is the deepest part of the channel.

|---|---|---|
| Financing Strategies | 69 | How deals actually get funded when the conventional route runs out. |
| Deals Explained | 34 | Real deals walked through end to end, numbers included. |

| HELOCs | 8 | Using existing equity as acquisition capital, and when that is a bad idea. |
Distressed property and market conditions
Foreclosures and downturns are where a lot of Dayton portfolios get built. They are also where people get hurt.
| Series | Videos | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Foreclosures, Housing Crashes and Becoming Recession Proof | 31 | Buying distress without becoming distressed. |
| Abandoned Mansion to Dream Home | 22 | A full renovation project documented start to finish. |

The longer view
Less about any single property, more about why you are buying them at all.

|---|---|---|
| Millionaire By 30 Series | 10 | Building a portfolio from nothing, on an ordinary salary. |
| Retirement Investing | 6 | Real estate inside a retirement strategy. |
| Interviews | 13 | Conversations with people further along. |

Written up in more depth
Three of these topics have full write-ups rather than just a playlist: financing your next rental, buying foreclosures in the Dayton area, and appealing your Ohio property tax valuation.
Why all of this is free
Ryan started in law enforcement and read a book a day for a year trying to solve one problem: how to support a family on that salary. What came out the other side was a portfolio, several businesses, and a habit of explaining the mechanics publicly instead of treating them as proprietary.
It is the same reason our entire fee schedule is published rather than hidden behind a form, and the same reason the eviction court jurisdictions are on this site for anyone to use, client or not.

Tools, not just talk
The Ingram Rental Calculator puts the same underwriting on your phone — iPhone or Android. The Proper Deal Calculator below runs the identical formulas in your browser, so the numbers agree wherever you work.

Same formulas as the Ingram Rental Calculator app, so the numbers agree: cap rate is NOI over purchase price, and cash on cash is NOI less debt service over total capital required. Management is billed at 10% of rent or $75 a month, whichever is greater — our full fee schedule is here.
Estimates for comparing deals, not for underwriting one. Closing costs and long-term capital reserves are not modeled. For a real number on a real address, ask us for a rental analysis.
