Ace Dunn: Scaling from Duplex Deals to Institutional-Grade Investments | #15

Ace Dunn built his real estate business from the ground up—without institutional backing, higher education credentials, or early capital. Since 2016, he has steadily transitioned from small multifamily renovations to more strategic acquisitions. Most recently, he closed his first duplex for long-term hold, signaling a shift toward broader syndication and larger-scale projects. In this conversation, Ace shares his approach to sourcing deals, managing risk at a modest scale, and why measured growth—not velocity—has shaped his investment thesis. He also discusses the role of service and purpose in shaping his decisions beyond the balance sheet.
