Dan Beaulieu

Dan founded Acadia Capital after years of brokering hard money loans for other lenders. After originating more than 900 loans on someone else’s terms, he decided to bring the entire process in-house and run it the way he’d always wanted to: faster, more flexible, and built around the actual deal instead of the loan committee. Outside of Acadia, Dan leads Burlington House Buyers in Vermont, where he and his team have flipped and managed over 200 units and built a portfolio of long- and short-term rentals. He also owns WaveMax Laundry in Knoxville, Tennessee. Dan looks at every deal like an operator, not a banker. Structuring creative financing, finding the path to yes, and scaling what works are the parts of the job he’s built a career around. He shares that playbook through his Private Lending Playbook course, mastermind groups, and industry events. Originally from Kennebunk, Maine, Dan now lives in Knoxville with his wife, their daughter Alexandra, and two Labradors. Three days a week, you’ll find him on the golf course.
