What if the deals everyone walks away from are actually the best ones?Colin Murphy figured that out a long time ago and he's been running his entire operation from Madrid, Spain for over two decades while investors in the same U.S. markets can't figure out why their deals keep falling apart.The secret? Messy title. Broken chains of ownership. Properties with legal problems so tangled that most buyers won't even make an offer. Colin doesn't just understand how to fix them he built his whole business around finding them.In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan and Colin get into the mechanics of curative title what it actually is, how title defects are created, why distressed properties are loaded with them, and how knowing one thing that 99% of investors don't know puts you in deals with zero competition.This isn't theory. This is the playbook.💥 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/

Matt is the co-founder of SmartSkip.io and a real estate investor who built his entire business around finding the people everyone else gave up on. Dead owners. Absent heirs. Disconnected numbers. Broken family trees. The kind of skip tracing that most people don't even know is possible and that unlocks the deals with the biggest margins in the game.In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan sits down with Matt for a masterclass on data, outbound strategy, and the art of tracking down people who don't want to be found.They get into the 21-heir deal that almost broke his brother and why walking away was the smartest move they ever made. They talk about the guy who made $65,000 a year as a side hustle doing nothing but suing cold callers. And Logan draws a hard line between relentless follow-up and full-blown stalking and exactly where the line is.If you work distressed properties, curative title deals, probate, or tax-delinquent acquisitions this is the episode that changes how you build your process.This isn't theory. This is the actual playbook.

In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with one of the most unlikely operators in the land game. Cameron grew up in the back seat of cross-country drug runs, used as the family decoy because a kid in the car made the trip "look right" to anyone watching. He had to tell his future wife what his mom did for a living she didn't believe him until his mom went to prison three months later. Most people would let that story define them. Cameron built a 14-agent team in Oklahoma and started flipping land deals other investors won't touch. He breaks down the exact playbook: how he buys a $345K personal home for $225K with nothing wrong but a busted pipe, puts $5K into it, sells above asking 30 days later, and pockets six figures — on a deal a realtor handed him. How he splits a 26-acre tract into three exits before he's even closed. Why his wife is the reason 90% of his properties sell above asking. And why he's convinced the deals don't care if the market is slow — they only care if you bought right.This one is a masterclass wrapped inside a Scorsese movie. The kid who was bait turned into the operator who calls the shots. If you're tired of competing for clean houses with 40 other buyers, this episode will rewire how you think about where the real money is hiding.

In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Bill Dimmick — the CPA and tax partner who's been quietly behind some of the most successful real estate operators in Texas. And his advice goes against almost everything you'll hear from a guru on the internet.

Bill's core philosophy: don't let the tax tail wag the deal dog.

He breaks down the warehouse story that should be required listening for every investor — his client built the property for $6M, got offered $13M before a single tenant moved in, and took the cash. Six months later, the warehouse is still sitting empty. If he'd held on chasing the lease, he'd be down $500K in interest payments. Instead, he's got $6M earning 3.5% in the bank and just had the best six months of his life.

Then there's the profit fade problem Bill sees every week — the investor who calls excited about a $50K deal that quietly becomes a $19K deal by closing. Bill's solution? "I save the email. Now I got their stuff in writing." A masterclass in operator accountability.

If you've ever talked yourself out of a deal because of the tax bill, or talked yourself into a worse deal to avoid one, this episode is going to rewire how you think about money in real estate.

This is the rare conversation where the CPA isn't the boring guy in the room — he's the one telling you to pay the damn taxes and take the cash.

In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan sits down with Clayton Allen, a 36-year-old real estate investor from Marshall, Texas who's spent the last eight years quietly building a distressed property business in the deep East Texas pine country. Clayton breaks down what he calls "elephant hunting" — going after massive multi-heir land tracts with hundreds of owners, some dating back to Texas land patents from the 1830s — and shares the deal that took him from $275K all-in to over $1.5M in lignite checks, oil and gas minerals, and surface value. He walks through how he finds these deals, why the Universal Partition of Heirs Property Act is his secret weapon, and the wild story of buying a mineral interest from a guy fresh out of prison that ended with Clayton buying him a car with a court-ordered breathalyzer installed. The conversation gets into why Clayton is now pivoting from elephant hunting to "singles and doubles," the mindset shift required to scale from solo operator to a real business, and a memorable take on why marrying young and finding a partner who believes in you is one of the most underrated business moves an entrepreneur can make. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to play multi-generational mental chess for land nobody else can untangle, this one's for you.

He came in as an acquisition guy. A year later, he owned the business. Here's what happened in between — and the $750K deal that proves it.

Mauricio Chakra started as an acquisitions rep — no real estate background, no idea how probates worked, just a guy from sales who figured it out by picking up the phone. Now he runs his own distressed property operation, closing commercial deals, cracking defunct LLCs, and navigating three-probate title chains most investors won't even look at.

This episode is a full year-in-review. Logan and Mauricio break down a 3.5-acre commercial deal on San Antonio's outer loop — bought four days before the tax auction for $45K from a wealthy Nashville businessman who "never wanted to hear the words Bexar County again." They got an LOI for $1.88M in three days. Walk-away profit: $750,000.

What else they cover:

How to read a seller in the first 7 minutes and know exactly what to offerWhy you don't need to know anything before you pick up the phone

Defunct LLC strategies: affidavit vs. revival vs. buying the entity (and why one of these is a trap)

Three-probate title chains and how an underwriter's opinion matters more than the law

The real reason partnerships work — and why JV deals beat seller finance every time

Why analysis paralysis kills more deals than bad markets

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.
