Last call! We are 95% complete ($1M/$17.5 to go!) with our capital raise for our River Club Opportunistic Value-Add Multifamily Opportunity located in Evansville, IN. It's been an incredible few weeks with so many fantastic conversations with investors old and new. We would love to start a long term relationship and partnership with you, and we want to do it by at the very least discussing a live deal, River Club. If you've seen my posts the last few weeks and have been on the fence, curious, maybe asking yourself if the deal is "too god to be true?" - well now is the time my friends. Over 70 investors have taken the time to hop on a meeting with our team, review the deal and have given their commitment. No JV's, no co-gp's , the largest single investor will be the combined GP group (internal Gray GP). The confidence in the Gray Capital team from our investors is absolutely humbling to say the least. Certainly not the "easiest" way to do it (JV/Co-GP "can" be way easier). But through partnering with many savvy accredited individuals, RIA's, and family offices - we can preserve our ability to control the project and execute the Gray Capital way - which continues to lead to successful outcomes. Get access to our investment portal, review the deal and hop on a call with us to answer your questions. But don't do it tomorrow - we will most likely be oversubscribed, do it today. This is the deal you've been waiting on the sidelines for. https://lnkd.in/g7unMrJ7 #multifamily #realestate #investing #valueadd Not an offer to invest. Accredited investors only.

Exciting news! Calder Capital is expanding into Florida with a new office in the Tampa Bay area, led by seasoned dealmaker Matt Uhl. Part of our 10-year plan is nationwide expansion physically,” commented Max Friar. “While we serve clients everywhere presently, it’s important to have boots on the ground for those critical face-to-face meetings and discussions. Additionally, Florida makes a lot of sense. Beyond the significant business and community ties to the Midwest, the population of Florida is expected to grow 30% by 2040 and already the state is one of the largest economies in the world.” Friar continued, “Quite frankly, we continue to find that manufacturing, construction, and services businesses in the $2-50M range are underserved; Main Street brokers are ill-equipped and ineffective, and larger investment banks are not interested.” Connect with Matt to learn more about our growth and how we can assist you with your M&A needs!

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 – $𝟔𝟗.𝟑 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 – 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐚𝐤 In anticipation of future opportunities, Royal Oak strategically accelerated equity raising in 2023 to build up meaningful “dry powder” to capitalize on what we believed would be a more favorable marketplace in the coming months. We anticipated an upcoming window where all-cash, well-capitalized buyers would see a substantial increase in real estate opportunities as the pool of buyers shrank in the face of higher interest rates and decreasing access to financing. We are pleased to report that this thesis has been validated so far in 2024. As we have mentioned, we successfully closed three transactions last month totaling over $69 million – making April 2024 the most productive and successful month for acquisitions in the history of Royal Oak.
