PropStream Pros Podcast

Are your real estate deals falling apart after you get the contract?
You’re not alone—and the problem usually isn’t your marketing or negotiations.

In this episode of PropStream Pros, Burton sits down with David Olds, full-time real estate investor and founder of Easy REI Closings, to break down the one role most investors overlook: The Transaction Coordinator (TC).

David shares his real, unfiltered journey—from buying his first house in 2002, surviving the 2008–2009 recession, losing nearly everything, and rebuilding from scratch—to closing 8,000+ transactions nationwide. Along the way, he explains why so many investors get stuck at 1–2 deals per month and how hiring a TC can free up 20–30% of your time, increase your close rate, and help you scale without burning out.

We’re officially kicking off Season 2 of PropStream Pros with an insightful interview featuring Rob Chevez, who shares how the pursuit of freedom shaped his real estate journey!

In this episode of PropStream Pros, host Burton sits down with Rob Chevez, a real estate investor and entrepreneur who walked away from a high six-figure career in 2005—right before the 2008–2009 crash—and still built a life designed around optionality, purpose, and long-term wealth.

Rob breaks down the exact mindset shift that helped him “slay the dragon of doubt,” why a big enough WHY makes the HOW show up, and how he used real estate to build both a cash machine (income today) and a wealth machine (assets for tomorrow). You’ll also hear Rob’s early story of house hacking, how he found cash-flow markets when his local numbers stopped penciling, and how his business evolved into a vertically integrated real estate holding company with multiple in-house operations.

If you’re a new investor, an agent looking to scale, or a professional stuck in “corporate limbo” wondering if you can do more—this conversation will give you the clarity, strategy, and motivation to take your next step.
