Shifting rivalries, fast markets, and thriving demands. This is the complex world of real estate today. It is an arena that calls for farsighted strategy, flawless operations, and a gift for building value that endures from those who want to succeed.
And it is only the few who can master this trifecta that are redefining what victory looks like.
Among them is Daniel Nigri, widely regarded as a top real estate professional in the United States. Nigri is known for transforming distressed assets into stable, high-performing communities.
With a methodology grounded in data, technology, and disciplined execution, he has become a trusted partner to investors and municipalities alike, delivering projects that generate strong returns while driving measurable social impact.
As an Executive currently serving as Chief Executive Officer of ValuePoint Property Solutions, Nigri has mastered the art of structuring complex transactions, turning seemingly unworkable deals into profitable ventures.
His ability to align diverse stakeholders, secure creative financing, and execute large-scale projects with precision has impacted what success means in residential real estate: “I’m a master at structuring deals,” Nigri reveals. “What I love most is to bring lenders, sellers, and community agencies together to the table. And what I really relish is getting a win-win outcome for everyone concerned.”
Nigri’s journey to real estate mastery began in Israel, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in 2017, graduating Summa Cum Laude.
His early work as a Python programmer at Mellanox Technologies (now NVIDIA) from 2015 to 2017 equipped him with a technical edge, enabling him to automate processes that streamline real estate operations: “I’ve always been drawn to solving complex problems and whether it’s engineering or real estate, I thrive on making the impossible possible. I know it isn’t for everyone, but I really love to get into the challenge and get immense satisfaction when I’ve made everything for everyone.” Nigri says.
One of Nigri’s most notable achievements, and a prime example of his love of solving the unsolvable, was his acquisition of a 120-unit portfolio. This 31-property deal, burdened by a 10% occupancy rate, severe code violations, was a financial and logistical quagmire.
However Nigri rose to the challenge and orchestrated a $5 million investment, securing financing from four lenders under high-pressure conditions with high-interest, short-term loans.
He admits: “It stretched our capabilities. The seller was in panic due to a court order, and coordinating multiple lenders was intense, but I reassured him we’d get it to close,” he recalls.
By negotiating with the seller, lenders, and city officials, Nigri structured a deal that enabled extensive renovations, resulting in nearly 100% occupancy within one year.
“Yes, there is no doubt it was challenging,’ he recalls. “But what really made it worthwhile was that despite its complexity and difficulty, all concerned were happy with the result. And that of course, is always my end goal.”
This project showcases his ability to untangle complex deals while delivering transformative results, solidifying his elite status.
Nigri’s deal-structuring prowess extends to other ventures. Through IDD Real Estate, founded in 2019, he completed over 50 flip projects in the United States Midwest across four different states, often navigating intricate transactions remotely.
One deal he worked on that highlights his strategic expertise is considered a roadmap by others in his field. Managed completely remotely, it involved a foreclosed single-family property with title disputes and delinquent taxes.
“We were dealing with the necessary legal and financial hurdles as well as managing renovations,” says Nigri.
“I was negotiating with the bank, clearing the title, and securing private financing to fund renovations.”
It was worth it—Nigri ended up selling the property at a 30% profit margin: “I’m good at putting deals together,” he jokes. “I would like to think getting lenders and sellers to the table and making it work for everyone is my strength.”
Nigri’s work with additional entities, such as Rental Buyers and IDS Holding, further demonstrates his skill. Owning and managing almost 100 properties with over 200 rental units.
In one deal, he acquired a distressed single-family home in Cleveland, which faced zoning violations and structural issues. By negotiating with city officials and securing a bridge loan, he restructured the deal to fund renovations, transforming the property into a stable rental unit leased through the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority.
This deal, completed under tight financial constraints, highlights his ability to structure transactions that strike a balance between profitability and compliance.
Nigri exemplifies a new generation of real estate leadership where strategic insight is matched by technological sophistication. Leveraging custom-built Python automations across platforms like Podio, Buildium, and AppFolio, he has redefined operational standards in property management.
From acquisitions and tenant lifecycle management to maintenance and financial reporting, his systems create seamless integration and scalable efficiency: “Automating our systems has been a game-changer. “It allows us to manage high-volume, high-value portfolios with the precision that multi-million-dollar deals demand,” Nigri states.
This high-performance framework enabled his team to execute dozens of property renovations within a single year, a benchmark that places him firmly among the most effective and forward-thinking operators in the industry today.
Nigri’s strength in deal structuring lies not just in financial expertise, but in his ability to align the interests of all stakeholders and create lasting value for everyone involved. In one project, he collaborated with Section 8 and the Clinton County Community Action Program to house over 30vulnerable households, negotiating terms that supported both tenants and investors.
His work with city building departments to resolve code violations further illustrates his diplomatic finesse: “It’s about creating trust. When you’re dealing with multi-million-dollar projects, everyone needs to believe in the outcome.” Nigri says.
Nigri’s deal-structuring mastery extends to creative financing. In a 2021 Cleveland project, he used seller financing to acquire a small multifamily property with deferred maintenance, negotiating a low down payment and favorable terms.
His team renovated the property within budget, leasing it to long-term tenants and generating steady cash flow. This ability to craft unconventional solutions sets him apart in a competitive field.
His mentorship of over 25 investors, primarily from Israel, reinforces his status as a national expert in the field. Nigri guides clients through complex U.S. real estate transactions, from deal sourcing to financing, often managing acquisitions for fees of $5,000 to $15,000.
In 2023, he shared his expertise as a speaker in the 23,000-member “Real Estate to the Point” group, offering strategies for structuring high-stakes deals: “I want to be remembered as someone who resolves complex situations,” he says.
A fitting legacy for a highly regarded real estate expert whose unique ability to turn challenges into lasting value continues to reshape communities and inspire an industry.
Kim Greco, owner of TitleCo Title and a long-time partner on multiple transactions with Nigri, attributes much of his success to his meticulous preparation and depth of knowledge: “Nigri is extremely knowledgeable and does his homework before every decision. His thorough, thoughtful approach has played a big role in his success, and it’s what sets him apart in a fast-paced industry,” she says.
Meanwhile, Frederick Haught, CFO of a national logistics company based in Houston, Texas, and Trustee of the Family Trust that sold multiple properties to Nigri, has nothing but praise.
He worked closely with Nigri throughout a complex portfolio transaction. Reflecting on the experience, Haught shares: “His understanding of market dynamics, renovation priorities, and long-term value creation gave us a clear roadmap not just for the transaction at hand, but for how to think more strategically about our real estate assets moving forward. Nigri’s advice was instrumental in helping us make informed, high-impact decisions.”
Snir Edri, Co-Founder and Director of Field Operations at ValuePoint Property Solutions, also validates Nigri’s work, saying: “Nigri has a rare ability to see the bigger picture while staying laser-focused on the details. He can map out a long-term vision for a portfolio while still managing the day-to-day with precision. That balance between strategic foresight and operational discipline is what makes him so effective and so trusted in this industry.”
Nigri now aims to tackle larger portfolios, leveraging his deal-structuring skills to transform distressed assets nationwide. His blend of technical innovation, financial strategy, and stakeholder alignment makes him a standout leader. Nigri redefines what’s possible in real estate. He brings order to chaos, structure to distress, and long-term value to overlooked communities in American neighborhoods.
