He Bought a $1.88M Property for $45K 4 Days Before the Auction

He came in as an acquisition guy. A year later, he owned the business. Here's what happened in between — and the $750K deal that proves it.

Mauricio Chakra started as an acquisitions rep — no real estate background, no idea how probates worked, just a guy from sales who figured it out by picking up the phone. Now he runs his own distressed property operation, closing commercial deals, cracking defunct LLCs, and navigating three-probate title chains most investors won't even look at.

This episode is a full year-in-review. Logan and Mauricio break down a 3.5-acre commercial deal on San Antonio's outer loop — bought four days before the tax auction for $45K from a wealthy Nashville businessman who "never wanted to hear the words Bexar County again." They got an LOI for $1.88M in three days. Walk-away profit: $750,000.

How to read a seller in the first 7 minutes and know exactly what to offerWhy you don't need to know anything before you pick up the phone

Defunct LLC strategies: affidavit vs. revival vs. buying the entity (and why one of these is a trap)

Three-probate title chains and how an underwriter's opinion matters more than the law

The real reason partnerships work — and why JV deals beat seller finance every time

Why analysis paralysis kills more deals than bad markets
