Don't want a boss or a day job deciding your future?

What if you could ditch the nine to five for good and replace it with a business that gives you

serious income and total control over your time?

Today, you'll hear from someone who's actually doing it.

At just 32 years old, Brett Hunley has already retired for one career and built a

thriving real estate business designed around one goal. Freedom. Not just money, but the ability

to live life on his terms. Take that dream vacation and say yes to opportunities that most people

can't. Brett's secret weapon is using the leadership

skills he honed during his eight-year NFL career to build and manage teams, to run

renovation projects day to day, and hit lofty goals like completing 24 deals per year. If you're

ready to build a real estate business, that doesn't just cover the

bills, but actually funds the lifestyle you want, Brett will show you how to find your lane,

scale from zero, and take control of your future.

Hey, everyone, I'm Dave Meyer, chief investment officer at Bigger Pockets. We've got a great show for you today.

It's an investor story with Brett Hunley. He's a former NFL quarterback turned Arizona real estate

investor who's doing the exact type of deals that everyone in our community could also be doing. So let's jump in with Brett and hear what he's up to. Brett, welcome to the Bigger Pockets podcast. Thanks for joining us. Man, thank you for having me. This is a fun one. Yeah, this is going to be a lot of fun. So tell us a little bit about yourself. What's your professional background? How'd you get into real estate? Man, I like to say I fell into real estate.

But background, I played football from Channel Arizona, and then I went to UCLA, played in the league for eight years as a quarterback.

And then during my time, actually, while playing football, I had sort of got into real estate.

When I was in Green Bay, that's where I bought my first house.

And that is essentially what got me into it. And then it wasn't until I got to Arizona, who I started sitting down with teammates of mine, Larry Fitzgerald, Devin Conard is another big one. And I grew up with Devin. And then Prince Mukamara, who is another Arizona native. I used to sit down with them every day after practice. Prince was doing short-term rentals.

Devin was doing long-term rentals and Larry was doing a whole bunch of stuff. Oh, wow. Yeah, and picking their brain, and then that's how I started buying my first short-term rental, then the first new bill. So you had like a little real estate club? No, 100%. That's pretty cool. Yeah, 100%. That's how I fell into real estate.

You know, I have a Prince of Mukamara, Jersey.
