Gray Report Podcast/Video: Investor Conversation: Quitting Institutional Lending to Build C-PORT | Ryan Duff
What does it look like to spend 15 years placing nearly $5 billion in multifamily debt — and then bet on yourself to build something entirely different? In the debut episode of Gray Report Investor Conversations, Spencer Gray sits down with Ryan Duff of C-PORT Equity for a candid conversation about Ryan’s journey from analyst to originator to fund manager, and the unique microfund strategy he’s built to give investors diversified, curated access to multifamily real estate.
Ryan breaks down why he walked away from institutional lending, what it really takes to raise capital when you’re starting from scratch, and how C PORT’s fund structure differs from traditional blind funds and single-asset syndications.
Whether you’re new to multifamily investing or a seasoned LP, this conversation offers a rare look at how the other side of the capital stack thinks.
