Ryan McCreay reveals how he profits from “impossible” real estate deals by tracking down heirs, clearing title issues, and unlocking equity no one else can touch.
Most investors walk away from messy title deals. Ryan McCreay runs toward them—and cashes in. In this episode, Ryan breaks down how he uses DealMachine to uncover vacant, tax-delinquent properties, then leverages his skills as a licensed private investigator to track down long-lost heirs, resolve ownership issues, and claim six-figure equity. You’ll hear how he navigates intestate succession laws, handles negotiations with fractional owners, and even builds family trees to make the deal work. If you’ve ever skipped a property because it looked “too complicated,” this one’s for you.
