10X Vets Member Spotlight
Member: Brain Whitten, USNA ’02
Company: CEO, Hornet Capital
Brian Whitten has been an active real estate investor for over 19 years with over $100,000,000 in real estate transactions and has a great reputation and presence in Austin, Texas. A graduate from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, Brian traveled the world as a fighter pilot. During this time, Brian acquired rental properties across the United States. When he was not launching his F-18 Super Hornet off the front of an aircraft carrier protecting our country, he was pursuing his other passion – real estate. In 2008, he became a licensed Realtor® and quickly realized the true potential of investing in the housing market while he was representing clients.
Starting in 2009, he partnered with other investors to find fix-and-flip properties. He assembled a crew, tackled the projects one-by-one, and turned a profit for both him and his investors, all during his off-duty time from the Navy. In 2012, Brian stepped back from active duty to pursue real estate. He moved to Austin and began to network with local investors. A year later, he formed Tally Two Investment Group. His company provided above-market returns for his investors while flipping properties, providing hard money loans, and partnering with other real estate investors. In 2018, in order to accommodate rising investor interest, Brian formed his first fund, Hornet Capital, which currently holds about $25M in real estate assets.
