Helping Changemakers Build Wealth Like They Build Solutions: With Purpose | Ex-Apple Engineer

I’m Jon Weiskopf. I sketched my first building at 7 with my dad—an artist. When he passed at 13, I learned one truth: places shape people. So I built a career making places that matter.

I became a mechanical engineer and spent 20 years in real estate including 9 years as head of engineering for Apple Retail—300+ stores in 20+ countries. Standards. Sustainability. Delivery at scale. Precision and possibility became the norm. But after nearly a decade, I was burned out building their dream.

I took a 3-month reset and asked, “What world will my child inherit if we keep building the old way?”

In 2023, I walked from stock options I could retire with to launch Blue Eyed Capital.

Now I invest where life happens—affordable housing (value-add apartments, mobile home parks, assisted living, and build-to-rent developments)—and I back operators who execute with private credit (short term, high yield loans). 

Proof, not promises: 342 GP units (~$29M AUM). 13 private loans ($2.3M). $0 losses.
Powered by engineering-grade diligence, apple-style commitment, and an impact framework that measures what matters.

If you’re a values-driven engineer, tech leader, or aligned operator—and you want capital that compounds and contributes—DM me. 

Let’s build wealth that matters.

Jon Weiskopf, P.E.

You can’t engineer luck.
But you can engineer outcomes.

Luck is random.
Outcomes are repeatable.

That’s why we treat every investment like an engineering system.

Inputs.
Variables.
Outputs.
Controls.

We don’t hope for good deals.
We design them.

From risk models to lender relationships, nothing is left to chance.

When others gamble, we measure.
When others react, we refine.

That’s how predictability compounds faster than luck ever could.

>> Would your portfolio still perform if luck stopped showing up?

Engineering passive income for you like I engineered Apple’s global retail store portfolio.

The day a contractor walked off-site taught me everything about leadership.


It was 18 years ago.

We were mid-construction.
Schedules were tight.
Stress was high.

The contractor quit on the spot.
No warning.
No plan.
Just gone.

At that moment, I realized leadership isn’t about authority, it’s about clarity.

I hadn’t communicated expectations clearly.
I hadn’t given ownership, just orders.

That was my mistake.

So I changed my approach.
Now, I lead every project with alignment first, accountability second.

Because when everyone understands why they’re building, how becomes easy.

>> What would your business look like if you led with clarity instead of control?

How I added $13,270 in property value
With a 10-minute phone call.

No renovation.
No rent increase.
No capital expenditure.

Just attention to detail.

During a routine utility audit, I noticed something off.
Our facility uses a third-party trash service,
But 2 of our bills still showed trash fees = $47 each.

That’s $94/month we shouldn’t be paying.
Or $1,128 per year leaking straight from NOI.

One phone call later, refund issued.
Fees removed.
Value added.

At a standard 8% cap rate
That $94/month equals $13,270 in asset value.

You are reading this, thinking $13,000 is nothing.

But $13,000 X 10 = $130,000
X 100 = $1,300,000
Pennies add up.

That’s what great operators do.
We don’t chase shiny returns.
We hunt inefficiencies.

I guarantee that everyone reading this has an error on a utility bill.

We refinanced a Kansas property in 15 months.
Returned 57% of investor capital early.

Riverfront Apartments looked ordinary.
72 units.
Outdated interiors.
Weak management.

We saw untapped equity.

Our strategy:
Buy below market value.
Upgrade units untouched for over a decade.
Transition tenants from month-to-month to annual leases.

Fifteen months later—refinanced.
57% of investor capital returned.
Cash flow intact.

This is what disciplined execution looks like.
Not hype.
Not luck.
Just operations that work.

The best returns don’t come from timing the market.
They come from managing it.

>> Would you rather chase market appreciation or create it?

The first time I funded a private loan, I realized something powerful: control feels better than hope.


I’d spent years relying on markets I couldn’t influence.
Stocks.
Funds.
External forces I had zero control over.

Then I wrote my first private loan.
Structured it myself.
Protected it with collateral.

For the first time, my results depended on my process, not someone else’s promises.

That changed everything.

Because the moment you understand how to control capital, you stop hoping for outcomes and start creating them.

>> What would your financial strategy look like if you replaced hope with control?
