What if you could balance college classes, Division I football, and a growing real estate business, without losing sight of your values?
That’s the path linebacker Jeremiah Brown is carving. In the latest episode of PropStream Pros, he sits down with host Burton Alicando to share how faith, family, and focus fuel him on the field and how those same principles helped him complete multiple wholesale deals and map out a long-term portfolio strategy.
Whether you’re a student-athlete, a busy professional, or a new investor, Jeremiah’s story shows how preparation and the right tools can turn limited time into real traction.
Watch the full conversation below.
From Student–Athlete to Closing Deals: The Origin Story
Jeremiah recently graduated from the University of Colorado (Geography, minor in Business) and still suits up as a linebacker on Saturdays. Before that, he studied electrical engineering and played at Jackson State, then followed Coach Deion “Prime” Sanders' vision to move to Colorado State University, embracing the spotlight and the pressure that came with it.
Off the field, Jeremiah lights up when he talks about why he consistently pushes forward: family.
“I bring my why with me every play. Every tackle. I don’t want my family to struggle for anything,” says Jeremiah.
That mindset translated naturally to real estate. After connecting with Burton through a community webinar and diving into YouTube seminars, Jeremiah started wholesaling in Fort Worth and closed multiple deals within months using PropStream.
Handling the Spotlight: “Pray for the Rain, Expect the Mud”
National attention can be a double-edged sword. However, Jeremiah’s approach is simple:
As he puts it, “You can’t pray for the rain and not expect to deal with the mud.”
Confidence doesn’t come from praise; it comes from preparation. That mindset, shaped by mentors like Coach Prime and Coach Fuller, fuels a “dog mentality” and daily discipline: stack good days, stay consistent, and the results follow, on the field and in business.
He treats media noise like background weather, useful when it’s on your side, irrelevant when it isn’t. Confidence comes from preparation, not praise. The weekly practice grind builds the poise he needs on game day, and the same discipline powers his deal pipeline.
Why Jeremiah Made Time for Real Estate: Even with a Full Plate
Jeremiah is intentional about building skills and assets beyond football. He’s setting up an electrical company (he loves the craft and plans to become a master electrician) while stacking real estate knowledge to create diversified and durable income streams.
The spark came from one of his coaches, who often spoke about real estate profits, tax advantages, and how even big-name athletes can lose fortunes without financial literacy, a message he took to heart.
“Checks don’t last forever. What you build with them does,” Jeremiah said.
Real estate gives him:
- Options: wholesaling for speed, buy-and-hold for long-term stability
- Financial literacy: understanding profits, tax advantages, and leverage
- Alignment with his skillset: systems, team play, and consistency
