Flipping Meets Funding: Dan Cantillana’s Dual Real Estate Strategy

In this episode, we dive into the world of flipping homes and raising private capital with real estate investor and lender Dan Cantillana. Based in Spokane, Washington, Dan wears two hats: he flips 30–40 properties a year and runs Wave Capital Lending, helping high-net-worth individuals passively invest in real estate-backed deals.

Dan walks us through how his team finds off-market properties—often at 60% of their after-repair value—using tried-and-true methods like direct mail, pay-per-click ads, and wholesaler relationships. He also shares how he sources capital, having raised $9 million in just 18 months by connecting with accredited investors through his own network and word-of-mouth referrals.

You’ll also hear how Dan transitioned from a 4th-grade teacher to a real estate pro, how owning a construction company helps speed up renovations, and why his investors love getting consistent 10% returns on their capital.
