Open Door Capital with Jens Nielsen
Originally from Denmark, Jens Nielsen has lived in the United States since 1996. After a successful career in telecommunications and IT, Jens shifted his focus from being an employee to becoming an entrepreneur. He was attracted to multifamily real estate due to the many benefits and began investing in his home state of Colorado where he is currently the key principal of an 82-unit apartment portfolio.
After achieving success as a Limited Partner (LP), Jens decided to raise money as the General Partner (GP) in real estate syndication and raised over $1M in 2019 alone. He has passively invested in 14 real estate syndications / private investments that include over 800 apartment units, 2,000 mobile park lots and over 6000 storage units as well as mortgage note funds and private money lending. Jens mission is to help more people invest in private placements for the strong cash flow and equity growth. His company’s mission is to "Open Doors to your secure financial future through multifamily investing."
