About Dan Templin

Meet Dan Templin, a man who’s just as comfortable in a suit as he is flipping houses, pouring craft beer, or handing over the keys to an Airbnb. He and his wife’s story started at Michigan State University. Dan graduated in 2011 and his wife followed in 2013. They not only found love in college but embarked on a whirlwind adventure of marriage, house flipping, and business building. 

Just two days after his wife graduated college, they got the keys to a dive bar in Dan’s hometown. What was once a simple watering hole became a hotspot for pizza and craft beer enthusiasts, thanks to a sprinkle of that Templin magic. 

But why stop at one successful business? They took the funds from their house flip and turned it into an empire of real estate that includes 7 Airbnbs, multifamily rentals, commercial spaces, and more. From managing a men’s suit store to running a myriad of businesses, Dan’s journey is anything but ordinary. 

Whether it’s serving up slices, sealing deals on properties, or sharing his wisdom in real estate investing, Dan’s approach is all about fun, family, and a flair for turning the everyday into something extraordinary.
