    30+ Curative Title Deals a Year & the Cash Trap Nobody Warns You About

    Anyone can teach you how to get into a deal. Matt is back on Dirty Deeds to talk about what comes after — the phase where the real work becomes managing cash, building a team, and having the discipline to walk away from deals other people would kill for. In this episode, Logan Fullmer and Matt dig into the operator's side of curative title investing: why "the best deal you ever did is the one you didn't do," how Matt killed a high-risk deal with a fraudulent $170K lien and saved $20K in legal fees, and the uncomfortable reality of lumpy cash flow when your capital is tied up in long, messy title deals. They also break down the "Chicken Earl" deal — tracking down a hard-to-find seller through her Facebook friend in backwoods Florida — that netted roughly $163K in about 30 days, even after a $20K tax mistake. Plus the unglamorous fundamentals that actually build wealth: getting your first commercial line of credit, why clean books unlock cheap bank money, and the honest math on paying the IRS late versus keeping your capital deployed. Essential listening for anyone who's done a few deals and is feeling the squeeze of growth. New episodes weekly. Follow Dirty Deeds for the most interesting, messy, and profitable real estate deals on earth — from curative title to distressed acquisitions.

    The $650K Jet Write-Off & a $3M Flex Space Grand Slam | Captain Kurt Marker

    Kurt Marker paid for flight school by lifeguarding, teaching surf lessons, and parking cars. He bought his first duplex on a $48,000 salary — selling his own car just to qualify. Today he flies Gulfstreams, advises high-net-worth clients on private jet acquisitions, and just closed his first industrial flex space development for roughly $3 million in profit. In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Captain Kurt for an unusually candid breakdown of two things people rarely explain honestly. On aviation: what charter really costs per hour, the real gap between commercial, semi-private, and private, and the complete math on buying a $1.3M turboprop — financing, hangar, insurance, maintenance, and the $650,000 first-year bonus depreciation write-off. Plus depreciation recapture, and why the five-year hold requirement catches people off guard. On real estate: raising $1.4M, personally signing a $3.5M loan, getting denied by two banks, going to private money at 11.5%, and building 32,000 square feet of flex space now selling at $235 per foot. Why every building stays under 12,000 sq ft, why curb appeal matters even on industrial, and the California eviction that convinced him to leave residential behind for good. Essential listening for high earners with a tax problem, and for anyone trying to move from houses into commercial. New episodes weekly.

    Rehab to $200K: Getting Sober & Cracking the Messiest Curative Title Deals | Caleb Fairclaw

    Caleb Fairclaw hit rock bottom before he ever found real estate the way he does it now. In this episode of Dirty Deeds, he sits down with Logan Fullmer for one of the most honest conversations on the show — from leaving the trades during the pandemic, to a real estate boom that collapsed overnight, into the darkest stretch of his addiction, and through the rehab stay that turned his life around. Eighteen months sober, Caleb closed his first curative title deal for $200,000, and he breaks down exactly how he did it: tracking down a disconnected daughter, an unknown step-brother, and a homeless heir to clear title on a property nobody else could untangle. They also talk about what recovery really means beyond just quitting, why the money felt underwhelming when it finally hit, how he's building a war chest and private-money relationships, and the new California AB 2016 fast-track probate law that's opening up fresh opportunity. A must-listen for anyone in wholesaling, distressed real estate, probate, or curative title work — and for anyone who needs proof that it's possible to rebuild.

    From Cyber Warfare to $350K Quarters: Finding Dead Owners & Curative Title Deals with Data | Tyler Austin

    Before he built one of the most powerful data platforms in distressed real estate, Tyler Austin was a military and cyber warfare operator — running open-source intelligence and hunting people down for the government. Then he made $350,000 in a single quarter finding dead owners and messy title deals, and never looked back. In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Tyler, founder of REI Sift (now Datasift), to unpack the intelligence side of the business. They cover his "Go No Go" framework for deciding which deals to chase, why death and delinquency are the two clearest signals of a curative title opportunity, and how obituary data can surface a forgotten high-equity house before it ever appears on a probate or tax-delinquent list. They also get into how AI predictive scoring works, why the best deals hide in just a handful of neighborhoods, and how top operators build a lasting competitive edge by owning their own data over time. A must-listen for anyone in wholesaling, tax-delinquent property, probate, or distressed acquisitions who wants to find deals before the competition does. New episodes weekly.

    Finding Dead Owners, Missing Heirs & Cleaning up the Messiest Titles in Real Estate | Stephanie Shepherd

    When a distressed real estate deal is stuck — deceased owner, missing heirs, a messy title no one can cure — Stephanie Shepherd is who investors call. Known as a "breakthrough specialist," she's built her name on the research side of the business: skip tracing, heir hunting, family-tree building, and untangling curative title problems most people walk away from. In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Stephanie to unpack the exact process behind her work — why she skip traces a mailing address instead of a name, how she builds family trees on Ancestry to identify rightful heirs, how she reads century-old deeds and Sanborn maps when legal descriptions change, and the cold call script she designed so it never sounds like a scam. They also cover the eye-opening reality of how your personal data gets sold (yes, the pizza place and the oil change count), plus a jaw-dropping case: a father who forged his own homeless son's deed and cashed a $121K insurance check — and how they fought to make it right. A must-listen for anyone in wholesaling, tax-delinquent property, probate, or distressed acquisitions. New episodes weekly.
