Capital Funding Partners

What Capital Funding Partners does

Capital Funding Partners (dba CapFund) is a privately held multifamily real estate investment firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company acquires, repositions, and asset-manages Class A and B multifamily properties across the Western United States, targeting dense infill markets where the affordability gap is high, skilled employment is concentrated, and new construction is constrained. Operationally, CapFund runs two product lines: direct acquisition of multifamily assets at deal sizes of $3M-$40M, and a Small Balance Preferred Equity Program providing $2M-$8M at 12%-14% fixed rates to experienced operators in 13+ Western US MSAs including Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Boise, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston.

The company monetizes through rental income, property appreciation, capital gains on disposition, and interest income on its preferred-equity book, with GP co-investment used to align interests alongside LPs. Investor relations are delivered through an AppFolio-powered Investor Portal that provides real-time portfolio dashboards, asset detail, document storage, and performance metrics to accredited investors. Property and asset-management execution is delivered through integrated operating partners SCSH Development (property/development management, 500+ units in California) and Crescent Canyon Management (2,000+ units, $150M+ AUM). The 7-employee firm is led by Founder/Managing Partner Wayne M. Brandt (former Wells Fargo CMBS National Originations Director, $35B+ transaction experience), Principal Ramzy J. Azar (formerly Tricon Residential and Mirae Asset), and Senior Associate Walker Dempsey.
