Why 53% of Deals Happen Off-Market (And How to Find Them)

Brady Irwin has lived every real estate investor's worst nightmare, and came out the other side building something revolutionary.


From wholesaling his first deal for $20K in two weeks to flipping an 80-acre land deal for $1.8M profit in four months, Brady seemed unstoppable. Then came the crash: a Northwest Austin development deal that cost him millions, his cars, and nearly everything he owned, just months after his daughter was born.


But instead of giving up, Brady channeled his pain into purpose. He built Sinnet, a peer-to-peer social network that combines AI, GIS market intelligence, and nationwide property data into one unified platform. Think LinkedIn meets CoStar meets ChatGPT—exclusively for off-market real estate deals.


In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Brady reveals the brutal lessons from his biggest failure, why 53% of real estate transactions happen off-market (and how investors are missing them), and how AI is about to transform the way deals are sourced, vetted, and closed forever.


Whether you're a wholesaler, developer, syndicator, or passive investor, this episode will change how you think about deal flow, technology, and resilience in real estate.
