Charles Carillo: Multifamily Strategy, Passive Capital, and Building $25M in Assets | #38

Charles Carillo, founder and managing partner of Harborside Partners, brings nearly two decades of experience in multifamily real estate to this episode. A licensed Florida real estate professional and entrepreneur, Charles began his career by launching a cross-border payments company while still in college—an endeavor that led him to business across Europe and Asia. Since 2006, he has built a portfolio exceeding $25 million in assets under management, with over 250 multifamily units across key U.S. markets. Through Harborside, he structures syndications that give both active and passive investors access to scaled real estate opportunities. He also hosts the Global Investors Podcast, where he speaks with international capital allocators focused on U.S. income-producing assets. This conversation explores disciplined underwriting, strategic partnerships, and how to think like an institutional investor in the middle-market multifamily space.
