I'm Derek Carroll
I run a commercial real estate bridge lending platform. I spent years at a national capital markets advisory firm, raising debt and equity for top real estate investors and developers. Â With nearly 20 years of experience, I've underwritten and analyzed hundreds (maybe thousands?) of deals across every major property type. Â I've worked on over $3 billion in transactions, helped raised capital for multi hundred million dollar blind pool funds and my personal investments include 50+ renovation projects, multifamily syndication and pre development land entitlement. Â
I'm Cornell-educated, FINRA-licensed, and a NY real estate broker — but what actually matters is that I do this work every single day. I'm not teaching theory. I'm sharing what I see on my desk, on my job sites, and in my deal pipeline right now.

The Due Diligence Checklist
Every item you need to review before closing on a commercial property — title, survey, environmental, zoning, physical inspection, financial verification, lease review, insurance, and more. Organized by category with notes on what to look for, what to push back on, and what kills deals. This is the same checklist structure I use on every acquisition in my own fund.Â
