How We Raised $50M+ Without Wall Street and Built a Capital Engine That Doesn’t Sleep

M&A | Multifamily Operator | $100M+ Assets

We didn’t raise $50M+ over a lifetime. We didn’t inherit a portfolio. And we definitely didn’t wait around for institutional partners to discover us.

We raised over $50 million in capital in a few focused years by doing what most operators avoid:

We stopped chasing deals… And we started engineering a capital machine that made the right deals inevitable.

It started with one moment.
Candice here. Years ago, I was in a packed elevator headed to my corporate job when a woman beside me quietly started crying.

Her child was sick. She had no PTO left. And she had to drop her baby off at daycare just to keep her job.

That was the moment I knew freedom doesn’t come from income. It comes from ownership.

Corey came from anesthesia—life-and-death decisions, high-stakes thinking, and extreme accountability. And when we decided to build something together, we brought all of it with us.

Conviction. Precision. Systems.

Our first deal was small, but the lesson was big.
We raised just under $1M to acquire an 18-unit property.

No track record. No institutional backing. Just belief. Grit. And the decision to never raise capital the “normal” way again.

We realized most people treat capital like a one-time hustle. A pitch deck. A spreadsheet. A prayer.

But we’d seen what high-stakes systems looked like—from the OR to the sales floor—and we knew that if we wanted to scale, we needed more than luck.

We needed a repeatable capital engine.

So we built it, piece by piece.
We integrated everything:

• In-house property management (no third-party misalignment)

• In-house construction oversight (costs, timelines, quality—ours to own)

• In-house investor relations and communications (because trust doesn’t come from quarterly PDFs)

Most operators try to look institutional.

We decided to be operational.

And when you’re operationally excellent, you don’t need to raise capital with hype—you raise it with receipts.

Here's what we know for sure:

• Capital doesn’t follow charisma. It follows competence.

• Investors don’t want shiny. They want to be sure.

• The right systems are more powerful than the best pitch.

We’ve now raised over $50 million in capital—largely from investors who come back again and again. Why? Because they’ve seen us deliver. Because we treat their money like our own. Because we built a system that doesn’t sleep.

And what if you’re still raising capital one wire at a time?
You’re already behind.

In this environment, speed matters. Execution matters. Trust matters.

We didn’t raise $50M by being lucky.

We did it by building the one thing most operators ignore:

A real capital infrastructure.

No fluff. No fake urgency. No shortcuts.

Just systems, results, and the relentless refusal to wing it.

Let’s scale. Let’s lead. Let’s raise capital the right way.
