Dallas–Fort Worth · Statewide Texas · Cash buyer
1322 Real Estate buys property with cash — including the estates, the hoarded houses, the tangled titles and the ones with a foreclosure date already posted. No repairs, no showings, no commission, no cleanout. You pick the closing date.
What we do
Single-family, small multifamily, rental portfolios, land and teardown lots, and aging high-end homes. Buy-fix-sell, buy-fix-hold, or a straight cash close on something that can't be listed in the state it's in. Probate and estate property is our specialty.
See what we take onParcel-level property, ownership, probate, lien and tax data across Texas counties, assembled and kept current by our own platform. We use it to underwrite — and we make it work for investors who would rather run a pipeline on evidence than on instinct.
How the platform worksBusiness-purpose hard money for experienced investors: competitive terms and a draw process that doesn't stall a rehab, from a lender who does the same work. Separately, we work with a small number of private capital partners on secured, short-term positions.
Lending & capitalSituations
A house is hard to sell for a reason, and the reason is almost never the house. It's a will sitting in the county clerk's office, a brother who won't sign, a lien nobody knew about, or thirty years of belongings in every room.
Those are solvable problems. We have solved them before, we know roughly what each one costs, and we price them instead of padding the offer to cover what we don't know. That is the whole difference.
One purchase took a mobile notary sent to six separate heirs — including two in prisons in different states — before the deal could close.

Property types we purchase
How it works
Nothing here obligates you to sell. There is no fee at any stage, and if you would do better listing the property, we will tell you so.
A short call, or the form at the bottom of this page. Address, roughly what is going on, and what you are trying to accomplish. We do not need to walk the property to give you a first number.
We pull the appraisal district record, recorded documents, liens and comparable sales, then look at the property ourselves. Complications get costed out, not guessed at.
Net to you, in writing, with the math behind it. No commission, no fees, and we cover standard closing costs. Take it to your attorney or your family and think it over.
At a title company, with funds wired to you. Need sixty days to move out, or to wait on letters testamentary? Say so and we will build the contract around it.
Why our number is often the higher one
An investor who doesn't know what a fire-damaged roof or a contested heirship actually costs has to protect themselves with a discount. We would rather do the work and pay you the difference.
Most investors spend heavily to find a seller, and that spend comes out of your offer. Our platform surfaces properties from public records directly, so we carry a fraction of that acquisition cost — and the difference is available to put back into the price.
Cleanout, remediation, eviction, lien payoff, quiet title. We have budgeted each of these on real properties. A known cost gets subtracted once; an unknown cost gets subtracted with a cushion on top, which is what a guessing buyer has no choice but to do.
No committee, no acquisitions rep relaying an answer, no partner to check with before moving a closing up two weeks. You talk to the principal, and the principal can say yes on the call.
Our work
Each of these was bought as-is and in the condition you see on the left. We cleaned them out, renovated them, and either sold or held them. Pick a room to compare the same viewpoint.
A brick ranch nobody had touched since it was built — pink tile bathrooms, a hand-painted mural in the dining room, wood cabinets and green laminate in the kitchen.
Probate. We bought it from the heirs of the family that had lived in it, and finished it at the top of what the street supports: quartz island, copper hood, frameless glass and brushed gold throughout.
Teal carpet in every room, water damage through the ceilings, and a house still full of belongings.
Bought occupied, and taken back to the studs. All new plumbing, electrical, HVAC and ducting, windows and doors — everything behind the walls replaced along with everything in front of them.
Condemned. Blue and pink tile baths, stacked wall ovens thick with grease, and a back yard full of debris.
Code enforcement introduced us to the seller after seeing us working in the area. The house had been condemned because someone was living in a lean-to in the back yard, with power run out to it. We bought this and 7111 Oak Park two blocks away, and renovated them at the same time.
Heavily hoarded, house and garage both. Everything came out before any work could start.
Condemned for having no utilities, and the second of two houses code enforcement brought us in Richland Hills. Someone went out the back door as we came in the front, and left their needles behind. We renovated it alongside 7127 Maple Park two blocks away — two boarded-up houses came off the same block at once, which mattered more to the neighbours than it did to us.
A 1960s ranch that had never been updated: beamed ceilings, an oak galley kitchen, pink tile baths and a failing driveway.
An older couple who wanted a cash number on a house they had neither updated nor been able to keep up with. Walls came out for an open plan with a new island kitchen.
Vacant and stripped mid-project when we bought it — wallpaper, worn tile, a gutted utility room and no working kitchen.
Bought through probate, and finished as a clean, lender-ready house rather than a flip that had to impress anybody.
Data & technology
Twenty years optimizing freight networks teaches one lesson that transfers cleanly to real estate: the advantage almost never comes from a better opinion. It comes from having the data earlier, cleaner, and joined together while everyone else is working from a list.
We maintain our own platform across Texas counties — appraisal district rolls, recorded deeds and liens, probate filings, tax delinquency, code enforcement, and ownership structure resolved down to the person or entity actually behind the mailing address. AI and automation do the collection and the first pass of judgment. People make the decisions.
We built it to underwrite our own acquisitions. Investors, funds and operators who want the same visibility into a market can talk to us about access, and about the process work that has to go with it.
What the platform tracks
About
1322 Real Estate was founded by David McKinney, who spent two decades in enterprise technology building and implementing optimization systems for transportation and logistics, working with most of the largest trucking and logistics companies in the United States.
He joined an entrepreneurial venture early, helped grow it through a sale to a venture capital firm, and stayed through its eventual $335 million acquisition by a publicly traded Fortune 1000 company. There he owned corporate strategy for the transportation and logistics vertical and authored multiple patents the company still holds.
In 2017 he left corporate life for real estate and brought the same discipline with him: measure the thing, model the thing, then act on what the model says. It is an unusual background for a cash buyer, and it is the reason our offers tend to look different from everyone else's.
The hardest properties are just problems with a knowable cost. Someone has to be willing to go find out what it is.
Lending & capital
Short-term, business-purpose financing for experienced operators: purchase, purchase plus rehab, and bridge on non-owner-occupied investment property in Texas. Competitive terms, straightforward documents, and draws that get inspected and funded quickly — because we have been on the other side of a stalled draw.
We make business-purpose loans to experienced real estate investors and to entities. We do not make consumer loans and do not lend against owner-occupied residences. All loans are subject to underwriting and final approval, and terms are quoted per transaction.
We work with a small number of private capital partners on short-term positions secured by Texas real estate. These are individually negotiated relationships rather than a program — we don't publish rates, terms, or projected returns, and nothing on this site is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security.
[ TODO: securities counsel to review this block before launch ] This section is informational only and is not an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any security or investment. Any discussion of terms occurs privately and subject to applicable law.
Questions we get
Sometimes no — and we will say so. If the house is clean, financeable and shows well, an agent will usually net you more even after commission, and you should list it. Where we win is the property that can't be listed as it sits: it won't pass a lender's inspection, it can't be shown, it's occupied, the title isn't clear, or there's a deadline. Then the comparison isn't our offer against retail. It's our offer against months of carrying costs, repairs you would have to fund up front, and a sale that may not close.
No. Take what matters to you and leave the rest — furniture, vehicles, paperwork, the contents of the garage and the attic. Cleanout is our cost and it is already inside the offer. If there are documents or valuables you're worried about, tell us and we will set them aside rather than dispose of them.
Usually, yes. We regularly go under contract before an estate closes and set the closing date around the court's timeline and your attorney's. Depending on the situation we can contract with the executor or administrator once authority is granted, purchase individual heirs' interests, or hold a contract open while the paperwork catches up. If you don't have a probate attorney yet, we can point you to several.
Not automatically. Disputed heirship and partition situations are one of the most common reasons a property sits empty for years, and they are solvable — by agreement, by purchasing individual interests, or through a court process. We have been through it. The honest caveat is that these take longer than a clean sale, and we will tell you up front what a realistic timeline looks like rather than promise you a date we can't hold.
Often not, but the window is real. Texas foreclosure sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month, and everything has to be in motion well before that. Call as early as you can — even a few extra days changes what's possible, and we can usually tell you in one conversation whether there is a path.
None to you. We don't charge a fee, there is no commission because there is no listing, and we cover standard seller closing costs. The number in your offer is the number you should expect to see on the settlement statement, less any payoffs that are already against the property — mortgage balance, back taxes, liens — which come off the top in any sale, to any buyer.
Yes. Dallas–Fort Worth is where we are strongest and where we know the submarkets block by block, but we buy throughout Texas, and a property far from home is not automatically a no. Portfolios and unusual assets travel better than single houses. Send it and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right buyer.
We use it to evaluate your property and to reach you about it. We do not sell your information, and we do not share mobile phone numbers or text-messaging consent with anyone for their marketing. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy, and our texting practices are set out in the SMS Terms.
