Carlo Dupone
CEO & Founder
I’m Carlo Dupone, a cross-border real estate investor, developer, and fund manager specializing in Mexico–U.S. investment strategy.

.
Over the past decade, I’ve helped dozens of investors navigate complex real estate transactions, raise capital, structure international holdings, and grow generational wealth—without borders.
I bring 20 years of expertise in real estate acquisition, development, sales, and mortgage lending, making me a key asset to the Latitude Equity Fund Series. My passion for entrepreneurship and building passive income is evident in my ability to structure deals that create win-win opportunities for all parties involved.
A Los Angeles native with dual United States and Mexican citizenship, my love for real estate was sparked at a young age. As a child, I accompanied my parents to their residential apartment buildings and commercial strip malls throughout Los Angeles, assisting with maintenance and rent collection. These early experiences laid the foundation for his deep understanding of real estate investment and management.
I hold a degree in Economics and a Master’s in Finance from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. My professional journey began in the investment sector as a Stockbroker and Certified Financial Planner, giving me a strong financial acumen that later translated seamlessly into real estate. Following in my family's footsteps, I expanded my expertise into apartment building acquisitions and private equity real estate financing.
As a developer, I have successfully managed 100–250-unit acquisitions in a single transaction. I played a pivotal role in securing over $90 million in debt financing and currently manage a $15 million debt portfolio, focusing on multi-family and commercial construction and renovation. Since 2014, I have been actively involved in the development and disposition of multiple real estate projects, including six ground-up developments.
Beyond his professional achievements, I value family time and am a proud father, all thriving in their respective careers. An advocate for active living, I enjoy martial arts and golf in my free time.
Ozden " Dalia" Avsar
Principal & Strategic Advisor
I am a global real estate professional with over two decades of experience across dynamic markets including Dubai, Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Originally from the west coast of Turkey, I hold a degree in Electronics Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (ITU), one of Turkey’s top institutions, often compared to MIT in the United States. I later enhanced my business acumen with a certificate from the London School of Economics.
My real estate journey began in Dubai in 2004, during the city’s transformation from a desert town into a global hub. I witnessed first-hand the launch of landmark developments like the Palm Islands and Dubai Marina, and was among the early professionals active in the market when foreign property ownership was first allowed. Over 18 years in Dubai, I worked closely with international investors as the city rapidly expanded into one of the most attractive real estate markets in the world.
Following a personal transition, I relocated with my children to Toronto, Canada, where I became a licensed realtor and successfully served the Greater Toronto Area for eight years. I later moved to Southern California, continuing my real estate career until the COVID-19 pandemic, during which I also obtained my mortgage license to support clients with refinancing.
As many in my client base—particularly Turkish, Middle Eastern, and Persian investors—began migrating to the Dallas, Texas area, I expanded operations there, building a thriving real estate business that continues to grow. In addition to Texas and California, I now actively work in the Mexican market, offering strategic investment opportunities for international buyers seeking income-generating properties and Airbnb assets.
My focus is on helping international investors navigate high-potential real estate markets across the U.S., Canada, Dubai, and Mexico, with a commitment to long-term value creation and personalized service.
