In his first sit-down since a public spiral that included a police chase caught by a news chopper, multifamily investor @PatrickCarroll explained what was really happening behind the headlines. Carroll, who built up a $9 billion real estate platform across the Sun Belt, told our audience at the #TRDForum he was dealing with undiagnosed bipolar disorder and a manic episode.
Swipe to hear Carroll talk candidly about retirement, ruin, mental health and why he’s already eyeing a return when his non-compete is up.

The best investment I ever made was in myself at 25. The second best will be in someone like me at 25. Capital is easy. Conviction is rare. I’m looking for both.
I started riding a month ago. Today I am standing ringside watching the best show jumpers on the planet at Longines Miami Beach. This sport humbles you fast. You cannot fake anything with a 1,200 pound animal.
She grew up in Kentucky dreaming about having a horse of her own. Today I got to make that happen with this beautiful Dutch Warmblood.
20 years of building, sacrificing, and betting on myself — and the best part was never the deals or the numbers. It’s moments like this. Being able to show up for the people you love in ways that matter to them.

The name Carroll isn’t just a brand—it’s a $12B track record.
Built different. Wired to win. Non-compete clock is ticking.
January 2027, I’m coming back with the best operators, the smartest capital, and the same killer instinct that built it the first time.
When I heard no, it just meant not yet.
2026 is setting up as an opportunity year.
Private investments. AI. And later in the year, multifamily special situations.
When capital stacks break, good assets don’t — that’s where GP recaps and preferred equity start to matter.
"Smart investors invest to make money. And I'm a proven money maker." In this #TRDForum highlight, Patrick Carroll didn't tiptoe around the question: After a turbulent few years, can he still raise institutional capital?
His answer is equal parts blunt, business-minded and, yes, 100% Carroll.
Arrest record? He owns it. Reputation? He defends it. A Harvard-affiliated hospital stay that has became its own kind of credential? He can joke about that too.
From fundraising billions to confronting the "self-inflicted wounds" that nearly sidelined him, watch Carroll break down to @MrKorangy why investors still pick up his calls.
