Ever. At just *32 years old,* he has already retired from one career and is now *chasing the freedom and flexibility that real estate investing can provide.* During his eight years as an NFL quarterback, Brett spent evenings after practice *learning the ins and outs of real estate* from teammates who had already discovered its wealth-building potential. Early on, he tried a little of everything—short-term rentals, new construction, and other investing strategies—before zeroing in on *house flipping,* which has since become his bread and butter. Brett says the skills he developed running an NFL offense directly translate to the real estate investing world, where he now *manages contractors, deadlines, and budgets instead of playbooks.* His goal for 2026? *Complete 24 real estate projects.* But he’s not staying busy just to pass the time post-football. Like most investors, he’s after _true_ financial freedom—not just the income but the flexibility to *spend more time with family, travel the world, and retire on his terms.* Episode Show Notes: https://lnk.to/biggerpocketsYT Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media 🎉Join us at the BiggerPockets Conference October 2-4 in Orlando.
