Most real estate investors skip the survey or wait until they're closing — and that's when they find out the property isn't 125 acres, it's 103. Or the fence has been in the wrong spot for 40 years. Or there's a cemetery on the back corner. In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Kort Breaux, owner of West Star Alamo Land Surveyors, to pull back the curtain on what a land survey actually involves — and why it's one of the most undervalued tools in a real estate investor's toolkit.

What we cover:

What a boundary survey actually delivers (it's way more than measurements)

Metes & bounds vs. platted lots — and why older San Antonio neighborhoods are harder than you'd think

The step-by-step process from order to final PDF

How surveyors deal with deeds from the 1800s described in varas, chains, and "ride north and smoke four cigarettes"

Real case studies: a 20-acre deal with an unmarked cemetery, a Caldwell County neighbor dispute, a warehouse with a 15-foot line problem, and a woman paying taxes on an acre that TxDOT took 50 years ago

How a surveyor's affidavit can fix decades of bad deeds — fast

Why CAD and Zillow acreage is not your survey

How surveys are priced (and why your realtor's $1,000 estimate is wrong)

The ethical and legal responsibility surveyors carry — same licensing rigor as engineers

Joey Stacks didn't just grow up on the wrong side of the tracks. He grew up inside the track. East Side San Antonio. Organized crime. Meth labs. FBI raids at age 8. Prison at 17.

By 22, he was moving half-kilo bricks through Austin's nightlife scene — until the task force came knocking.

But this episode isn't about the fall. It's about what happened after.

Two prison sentences. Six years total. A son born while he was fresh out with a monitor on his ankle. A fence-building business that outearned everything he ever made in the streets. And a moment on a job site in Terrell Hills — orange chicken in hand — that changed everything.

Joey Stacks went from confirmed gang member to Discovery Channel feature, supplement company, construction business, clothing line, and father of five. This conversation goes places most podcasts won't.

What prison actually looks like — riots, zip guns, and race politics nobody talks about

Why the "bad guys" get paroled and the good ones stay locked up

How he tracked down a trafficked teenage girl using one Instagram photo and Google Maps

The moment fatherhood hit him like a freight train and he crushed his last cigarette for good

Some people read about this life. Joey lived it — and built something real on the other side.

Dirty Deeds. Real stories. No filter.

It's just me," the seller said. By the end of the phone call, there were 13 siblings.

In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Florida's high-volume probate and curative title attorney Al Nicoletti to break down the deals most investors run from — and why the messiest title "train wrecks" are hiding the biggest paydays in real estate right now. If you've ever walked away from a deal because of a missing heir, a phantom mortgage, or a landlocked lot, this is the masterclass you've been looking for.

Al reveals the "Ever-Ever" questioning technique he uses to flush out hidden heirs BEFORE they blow up your closing, why Florida is the "Wild West" of public records compared to Texas (and how he pulls death certificates in 24 hours), and how to run the juice vs. squeeze math to decide if a $12k spread is actually worth a Quiet Title action. Logan and Al also break down how to sell a property in weeks even when formal probate drags on for months, plus how to untangle the triple-stack nightmare of Probate + Guardianship + Squatters on the same deal.

What happens when you buy a $130,000 property and discover mid-lawsuit that it was appraised at $2.3 million? In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Southern California investor Ellis San Jose — a veteran deal-maker who built his career finding deeply discounted real estate and "paper" (notes, liens, and mortgages) that nobody else wanted to touch.

Ellis breaks down how he got his start buying non-performing second mortgages for as little as 3 cents on the dollar during the 2008 meltdown, why private notes are still a viable niche today, and how creative financing structures — like paying a seller in three lump sums over 30 years at 0% interest — can turn a $150K house into a $500K long-term hold.

The conversation gets real fast: Ellis shares his biggest loss (high six figures on a Chicago warehouse conversion gone wrong), what it's like to go head-to-head with a multinational law firm, and why knowing who you're dealing with matters just as much as knowing the deal. If you're ready to stop grinding and start working smarter in real estate, this one is worth every minute.

Willy Numbers built one of the most unconventional real estate businesses in the game — and in this episode of Dirty Deeds, he breaks down exactly how he did it. Willy is the founder of Reverse Flip, a strategy that flips the traditional wholesale model on its head. Instead of locking up a contract and waiting weeks for title searches, Willy buys the deed first, solves the problems on the back end, and exits with profits that most wholesalers never see coming.

Willy takes us back to where it all started — a beat-up property in Miami with a bankruptcy, two mortgages, a squatter, and $200K in city liens. Most investors would have walked. Willy bought the deed for a thousand dollars and made $100K on the exit. That one deal changed everything. From there, he reverse-engineered the entire strategy, stacking tax delinquent lists with open mortgages, digging through court dockets, and hunting the deals nobody else knew how to close.

He walks through the deal that really put him on the map — a $254,000 payday on a single family in Westchester, Miami that came from a piece of return mail marked "deceased." What followed was a dead owner, a professional squatter running an adverse possession claim, two probates, a writ of possession, and a concrete-filled pipe. Willy closed it anyway.

But this episode isn't just about deals. Willy gets real about losing everything in 2022 after two business divorces, getting sober in 2023, and rebuilding to millionaire status in under 15 months. His mindset on standards, energy, and what you're willing to tolerate is worth the listen alone.If you've ever wondered what's sitting below the surface of traditional wholesaling, this is the episode that pulls back the curtain.🔗 Find Willy at https://reverseflip.com/home

In this powerful episode of Dirty Deeds, we sit down with Manny Cash, a San Antonio-based investor whose journey from a 17-year-old Venezuelan immigrant to a successful real estate entrepreneur is nothing short of miraculous. Manny shares the high-stakes reality of arriving in the U.S. with only $1,500 and a student visa, eventually facing the terrifying choice to stay illegally to fulfill his mother’s wish of making something "big". From surviving the gang-heavy streets of South Side Chicago to discovering a "god-given gift" for sales in a mall kiosk, Manny’s story is a masterclass in grit, faith, and the "why not me" mentality. He breaks down how he closed his first messy real estate deal after eight months of following up—a $30,000 win that proved the business model worked and changed his life forever.Today, Manny leads a high-performing team of five, focusing 100% on distressed properties with messy titles. He candidly discusses the "dark hole" of depression he faced after achieving financial success, the peace he found through faith and meeting his wife, and the "extreme ownership" required to shut down his previous business when the market shifted. Now back on top with $280,000 in projected profit on the board, Manny explains why he pivoted from traditional wholesaling to high-margin distressed deals, proving that "all hard work brings a profit" when you back your talk with massive action💥 Want to learn how we get the most profitable deals out there?Get Your Free Copy of Distressed Property Secrets Book by clicking the link below:👉 https://dpasummit.com/free-book-page--------------------------------------------------------------------🎯 Want to be coached by Logan?Book a consultation using the link below:👉 http://coaching.dpasummit.com-------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔗 Connect with Logan:📸 Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/logan_fullmer🎵 TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@loganfullmer_?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@loganfullmer🌐 Website: https://www.loganfullmer.com/--------------------------------------------------------------------Like, comment, and subscribe for more interviews with real estate professionals turning chaos into opportunity.
