Read transcript

When I established Carpathian Capital Management in 2012, I drew from lessons I had learned early in my career in consulting, investment banking and finance. I saw firsthand how, in times of crisis, people could find opportunities, meet market demands, and create lasting value. 

I recognized such an opportunity as America began to recover from the 2008 financial crisis. After careful analysis, I chose to focus on residential real estate.

At Carpathian Capital, we create opportunities for investors, clients, and employees alike. We give investors access to exclusive real estate investments that are typically out of reach. We invest with best-in-class developers and homebuilders, helping them bring much-needed housing to America. For our employees, we provide meaningful projects to work on, with the freedom to innovate and grow.

What sets us apart is our personal approach. We operate with professionalism and an entrepreneurial spirit, free from corporate red tape, which allows us to be flexible, creative, and solution-oriented. We build strong relationships with our investors through direct communication and a hands-on approach to investment management.

I’ve personally built close relationships with nearly all our investors over the last 12 years, ensuring trust and open communication—key factors in our success, with most becoming repeat investors over many years. 

As the housing shortage continues, we’ve leaned in by launching our unique third Development Fund, bringing together investors, developers, and homebuilders to create homes in high-growth areas while targeting attractive risk-adjusted returns.  We believe that addressing the housing shortage offers both an investment opportunity and a way to build stronger communities. 

My team and I look forward to discussing how our residential development strategy could contribute to building wealth as part of your investment portfolio.
