Scaling by finding portfolios and JV structures

In this episode of Dirty Deeds, Logan Fullmer sits down with Tim and Emily to break down what it really looks like to pivot a real estate business when the market changes — and how distressed property acquisition can unlock massive opportunities when other strategies start to stall.Tim and Emily share their journey from land flipping and wholesaling into distressed property acquisition, including the challenges they faced as margins tightened, buyer demand slowed, and cancellation rates climbed. What started as a thriving land business eventually hit a wall, forcing them to ask the hard questions every investor must face: Is it the market? Is it the model? Or is it time to evolve?They dive deep into the realities of land investing in today’s market — shrinking spreads, rising costs, attorney-state complications, slow cash conversion cycles, and why simply “lowering your price” isn’t always an option when you’re already near break-even. From Florida and the Southeast to the Northeast, Tim and Emily explain why expanding into new markets didn’t solve the underlying problem and how that realization opened the door to a completely different strategy.One of the most powerful moments of the episode is the story of their first distressed deal — a messy heir situation involving missing heirs, jail records, private investigators, and legal hurdles. What began as uncertainty turned into over $100,000 in equity in just 30 days, proving how impactful distressed property acquisition can be when done correctly.Throughout the conversation, Logan emphasizes the importance of transparency, integrity, and trust when working with sellers — especially in emotionally charged situations like probate, heir property, and distressed ownership. Tim and Emily echo this sentiment, sharing how honesty and genuine communication have been central to their success on the phone and in negotiations.💥 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.
