See What Others Miss — Before It Costs You.
Building intelligence for real estate investors and operators who’d rather verify than trust.
Most investors lose six figures to problems they could have seen.
The sewer line cracked 10 feet below the property — invisible from inside, invisible from outside.
The 70-unit deal where every HVAC unit was 18 years old. The CapEx broke the math.
The “clean” inspection on a 40-year-old building. The clean report wasn’t reassuring — it was a question.
If you don’t know what the hell you have, you will have the hell you own.
— Jon Weiskopf, PE

I’ve Been Reading Buildings for 20 Years.
Most real estate education teaches the spreadsheet. I read the building.
Licensed PE with 20 years engineering 400+ buildings. 9 of those years at Apple — running engineering for one of the largest retail portfolios in the world.
I founded Blue Eyed Capital because the knowledge of buildings is gravely missing from real estate. The building is the input to the spreadsheet. Eyes Open is the lens I use on my own deals — now a catalog you can buy.
