The Real Estate Investing Fast Track

Jesse Burrell co-founded Batch Skip Tracing, which grew into BatchLeads, BatchDialer, and BatchData — tools used by thousands of real estate wholesalers and investors. After scaling the business to nearly $40M in annual revenue, he and his partners sold BatchLeads and BatchDialer to PropStream in a multi-eight-figure deal.
In this episode, Jesse breaks down how the PropStream deal actually came together, what the acquisition process looked like behind the scenes, and the reality of what happens — financially and emotionally — right after a big exit. He also explains why he decided to start a brand-new life insurance agency instead of stepping away from work altogether.

This week's Deal Breakdown: a fix and flip in Walden, NY. I bought this off-market property (found through a cold call) for $257,000, funded with private money, and I'm putting in ~$20K to get it market-ready. Plan is to sell for $350K–$380K.
In this video: how I found the deal, how I funded it, the numbers, and 3 lessons on finding off-market deals and beating out competition.

Last video I ranked real estate strategies for right now. This one's different — this is how I'd rank them in a perfect market, no interest rates, no current conditions, just pure strategy based on 10+ years and hundreds of deals.
Ranking: Wholesaling, Fix & Flipping, Wholetailing, BRRRR, and being a Real Estate Agent — from S-Tier to B-Tier.
One strategy takes the crown as the "holy grail." Watch to see which one and why.

I'm ranking every major real estate investing strategy for 2026 — from S tier (superior) to D tier (skip it). After 10+ years and hundreds of deals, here's my honest take on what actually works right now.
Ranked in this episode: Wholesaling, Novations, Fix & Flip, Wholetailing, Subject To, BRRRR/Rentals, Owner Financing, Real Estate Agent, and Traditional Rentals.
Spoiler: nothing hits S tier this year, and a few "guru favorites" take a hit.

Nobody wanted this vacant, "tear down" property — until we changed the terms, not the price. Instead of cutting the seller's payout, I got permission to list it on the MLS. Within 5 hours, we had an offer $2K over asking. Final result: $18,000 profit, zero price renegotiation.

Parkinson's Law says work expands to fill the time you give it — and in real estate, that means urgency wins deals.
In this episode, I share how I used this principle to close a deal right before vacation, and how you can use tight timelines to close faster, avoid closing-day chaos, and beat other investors to the punch.

After 500+ real estate deals and 10+ years in the game, I've learned one thing that changes everything: your problems never actually go away — you just have to upgrade them.
 
In this episode, I break down:
✅ Why every stage of your real estate business comes with new problems.
✅ How to shift from "no deals, no money, no clue" to managing systems, teams, and scale.
✅ The mindset shift that separates investors who grow from those who stay stuck.
✅ Why wanting "more business" means signing up for a whole new set of problems — and that's a good thing.

In this episode, I break down a condo flip I'm currently buying in Federal Way, WA — part 1 of a series I'll follow up on through renovation and sale.
I bought the property for $150,000 after almost a year of following up on a cold lead. With renovation costs around $20-25K, I'm projecting a sale price of $240-250K and a net profit of roughly $35,000 — about a 70% cash-on-cash return.
I also get into why condo flips play differently than house flips, from HOA fees to slower sales and higher holding costs.

In this episode, I break down the "Big 4" closing costs every real estate investor needs to account for on both the purchase AND the sale of a property:
✅ Transfer Tax (Excise Tax) – How much it can cost you, which states have it, and how to negotiate it with sellers
✅ Loan Recording Tax – The hidden fee some states charge just to record your mortgage
✅ Lender Costs – Points, attorney fees, service fees, and other borrowing costs that add up fast
✅ Commissions – What to expect to pay real estate agents when you sell, and how it impacts your bottom line
Whether you're in a high-cost state like New York, Delaware, or Washington, or a lower-cost state like Arizona, this video will help you run your numbers correctly so you know your real profit before you ever make an offer.

Part 3 of my Pleasant Valley flip breakdown — and it's not going as planned. After 35 days on market with 17 showings, still no offers.
In this video: what went wrong (pricing, an area with high days-on-market, an overlooked kitchen floor and pool), and the exact fixes we're making right now to get this sold and still turn a profit.
Part 4 drops once it sells — with the real numbers.
