Education first. Conversation second. Investment only if it makes sense.
Most investment marketing runs backwards: pitch first, questions later. The DanCan Private Investor Network is built the other way around, because the investors Dan wants to work with are the ones who understand what they're doing.

Learn
Download the Top 10 Questions, watch the property stories, listen to a few episodes of The Invested Life. Understand debt vs. equity, off-market sourcing, how returns may be generated and what can go wrong. This step is free and there is no pitch in it.

Ask
Book a 15-minute conversation. Dan wants to know where you are, what you've read and what you want to understand. He will tell you plainly if private real estate is not a fit for your situation, or if you are not eligible for the opportunities the network typically sees.

Qualify
Many private offerings are limited to accredited investors, and some require third-party verification. Before any opportunity is discussed in detail, eligibility is confirmed so nobody's time is wasted.

Review
An appropriate opportunity is presented only through its own offering and legal documents: the note or operating agreement, the subscription agreement, the risk factors, the fees. Take them to your attorney and CPA. Ask every question on the checklist.
- 5
Decide
You decide, on your terms and your timeline. If you participate, you'll know exactly what you hold, where it sits in line, how you're paid, how long your capital is committed and what happens if the project underperforms.
Off-market, by relationship
Dan's properties come through twenty years of relationships in Spokane and Kitsap County: realtors who would rather hand a difficult house to a known buyer, wholesalers, estate attorneys, courthouse-steps auctions, neighbors, and once, a teenager on a golf range.
- Distressed and off-market properties, often bought below after-repair value
- In-house construction crews under Dan's general contractor license
- A listing agent on the team and an in-house bookkeeping company
- Investors updated as projects move from purchase to exit
Three structures
Fund participation
Capital pooled with other investors and deployed across multiple properties, managed by the operator from acquisition to exit. Diversified across projects; least hands-on.
Read more →Individual projects
Participation in a specific property — typically a distressed, off-market purchase that is renovated and resold. You know exactly which house your capital is in.
Read more →Private lending
A short-term loan to the project secured by a recorded lien against the property. Debt rather than equity: a stated rate and term, with the collateral as the lender's recourse if the borrower defaults. Secured does not mean risk-free.
Read more →The network is selective in both directions
It may be a fit if you are an accredited investor or expect to qualify, have capital you will not need for the term of a project, want to understand the structure rather than just the rate, and value communication and transparency from an operator.
It is probably not a fit if you need liquidity within a year, are looking for a guaranteed return, would be investing money you cannot afford to lose, or want to skip the documents and trust the person. Dan will tell you so, kindly and directly.
"Don't invest with me because you read my website. If what you've read makes sense to you, let's have a conversation."
Prefer to talk first? Call 509-847-3677, Monday – Saturday, 9:00am – 5:00pm.
Start a conversation
Tell Dan a little about where you are. He or a team member replies personally, usually within one business day.
Questions before promises.
Understand it before you invest in it.
Start with the ten questions every prospective private investor should be able to answer. Then, if it makes sense, let's have a conversation.
No pressure. No sales pitch. Education first.
