Multi-family real estate investment mogul M Patrick Carroll’s company, CARROLL, is getting ready to launch its seventh multi-family real estate investment fund. The fund, which will be managed by Carroll himself, is set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2021.

CEO M Patrick Carroll plans to raise $500 million for the fund and is confident that they will meet or even exceed that mark. “Investor interest is as strong as I’ve ever seen it,” Carroll explains. “Investors in this next fund will be a mixture of existing and new investors.”

CARROLL plans to use Threadmark Capital as the new fund’s placement agent. Threadmark Capital specializes in raising capital for alternative investments, including real estate.

CARROLL is also looking to expand their reach into ground-up real estate development. The Company recently partnered with LCOR, a real estate investment, development and management firm that focuses on Mid-Atlantic and Northeast multifamily properties.

M Patrick Carroll noted that the LCOR partnership would provide significant benefits for both parties. “Our partnership would combine LCOR’s expertise in development with our knowledge of the South-eastern US Real Estate markets, to target development opportunities. LCOR also has deep institutional capital relationships and a long history of successful development projects,” reports M Patrick Carroll. “Investor interest is as strong as I’ve ever seen it,” Carroll explains. “Investors in this next fund will be a mixture of existing and new investors.”

About the New Fund

The new CARROLL fund will be similar to the firm’s other investment funds, in that it will use a core-plus and value-add approach. However, the new fund will have a broader geographic focus, adding properties in the Western US and Sunbelt. M Patrick Carroll shared that the firm has two Las Vegas properties currently in the pipeline.

M Patrick Carroll on the Value of Investing in Multi-Family Properties

Real estate professional M Patrick Carroll sees great opportunity for investors with multi-family properties. He sees a trend towards moving away from urban areas. However, he feels homeowners are getting tired of maintaining a single family home and are increasingly enticed by the low-maintenance of condo or luxury apartment living. And, of course, consumers are looking for areas where they will get the most for their housing dollars. Carroll says that suburban areas have historically delivered a better value than most urban housing.
