Connecticut · Real Estate Investments
A Connecticut debt fund and multifamily sponsor, built by an operator who learned real estate the hard way. We put capital where the math actually works and communicate status monthly.
Three commitments, in writing
01
Distributions to investors begin only when a project is cash-flow positive. If the deal is not producing, neither is the distribution.
02
When a project closes out, the good, the bad, and the ugly all land in the investor portal. You see what worked and what didn't, on every deal we close.
03
Same class, same return threshold, same outcome. We don't earn a promote until you're whole.
How we deploy capital
01
Monthly income · First-position · 12-month term
First-position loans to vetted Connecticut operators. Monthly income, twelve-month term, first lien on every property. An 11% target yield to investors.
02
Equity upside · 3-5 year target hold · Quarterly distributions
Class B and C multifamily acquisitions in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Western Massachusetts. We co-invest on the same terms as our investors. We open a deal only when it survives the review below.
03
Private lending · Connecticut · Fix-and-flip
A subsidiary of Clark St Capital. We lend capital invested in the Capital Preservation Fund to experienced, vetted Connecticut operators.
If you're a Connecticut operator who's found a deal and needs a funding partner who can move fast, bring it to us.

First lien on every property. Monthly income to investors, twelve-month term, an 11% target yield. The fund earns that yield by lending to vetted Connecticut operators at 10% to 12% interest plus points, with six months of interest held in escrow on every loan. Five things protect your principal on every loan.

Where we work
02
Hartford proper is tough on property taxes, so we are cautious inside the city. The opportunity is in the suburbs and the surrounding towns in Hartford County, where the math works for both flips and small multifamily.
How we choose what to buy
Roughly fifty deals a month enter the top of the pipeline.
For each deal the system outputs a financial breakdown, a negotiating strategy, a recommended initial offer, and a maximum allowable offer. It is built to surface reasons not to offer. We proceed only when the numbers pencil on our operating model.
The same process drafts a letter of intent for the broker.
Before any LOI goes out, a person reviews it: reads the seller's situation, probes for creative-financing flexibility, and gives the broker honest, candid feedback. The LOI is delivered based on that conversation.
We make offers on at least ten of the fifty each month. Offers are principled, at our number, not lowball. Most get a no, because the Northeast has a real buyer and seller price disconnect.
Our floor
At least a 2% spread between our cost of debt and the acquisition cap rate. We waive it only when there's a clear, fast path to improving the cap rate after we buy.

A real estate debt fund lends money secured by property instead of owning it. Here is how it works and why both sides of the table win.
Read the postA note from the founder
I left Silicon Valley because I wanted off the stock market roller coaster and to stop traveling 150 nights a year so I could play a role in my family's lives.
Real estate gave me both. Clark St Properties became Clark St Capital to give other business professionals access to the same deals I underwrite for my own family. The investors I work with are busy business owners, professionals and senior executives.
The newsletter covers the markets we're watching, the deals we're underwriting, and the ones we pass on.
We built our offerings to serve different investor goals. The debt fund provides first position security, delivers monthly income. Syndications and joint venture projects deliver equity upside, quarterly preferred payments and long-term wealth growth opportunities.
“Investing with Clark St has allowed me to get involved in multifamily real estate in a way I could not have on my own. Honest, professional, and aligned.”
