Summary

On this episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Cary Clarke, a seasoned developer who shares his journey from working in his father’s multifamily business to launching a 351-unit ground-up apartment development in the DFW metro. Cary discusses how the 2008 financial crisis reshaped his approach to real estate, why he pivoted back into multifamily after decades of homebuilding, and the power of mentorship and community through programs like Apartment Addicts. He also unpacks how he secured land in a booming submarket near Fort Worth and structured a HUD 221(d)(4) loan for long-term, fixed-rate financing.
