The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Don Wenner is the Founder and CEO of DLP Capital, a private real estate investment and financial services firm dedicated to building thriving communities. Since founding DLP Capital in 2006, Don has led the company through significant growth.

The firm earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of “Fastest Growing Private Companies in America” for 11 consecutive years and generated 50% revenue growth for 18 years straight – an incredibly rare achievement. Today, DLP manages over $5 billion in assets.

In our conversation, Don highlights the main obstacles founders face in scaling their businesses, such as failing to raise capital, inconsistent leadership, and over-reliance on bank loans. He explains how his Elite Execution System fills in those gaps, helping entrepreneurs structure their businesses for high growth.

We also get into the tactics and strategies Don uses to keep DLP at the top, making it a powerhouse in single- and multi-family brokerage, investment management, asset management, property management, construction, and private lending.
