real estate Investor. Former NFL Player. Family Man.

I traded football for real estate in 2013. Today I buy, fix, sell and hold houses — and I'm looking for two kinds of people: those with capital, and those with deals.

About Dean

I walked away from the NFL to protect my health. Then I started over with a $65K desk job and a free podcast. Thirteen years and hundreds of deals later, I'd rather build with good people than compete with them.

Signed by the Chargers

Signed with the San Diego Chargers in 2011. They moved me from tight end to fullback — full speed, head first, every snap. After several concussions I knew I'd be trading years of my life for a paycheck. So I walked away.

the raise that changed everything
2012

A $65K desk job

From a pro contract to a pre-IPO Bay Area tech job. About 14 months in, my “big” raise was $2,000. That's when I knew nobody was going to write my story for me.

my first wholesale check
2013

First deal in 90 days

I found a free real estate podcast, took massive action, and closed my first wholesale deal within three months. It made $12k, split 50/50 with Sean Terry who helped me close it. When that wire hit, I knew this was real.

Building it together
