About Green Oak Capital

A New Jersey multifamily investment firm built around three things: brokerage-backed market access, conservative underwriting, and direct accountability to our investors

Our Mission

We acquire, reposition, and professionally operate 20+ unit value-add multifamily properties across northern New Jersey — sourcing direct from long-held private owners, underwriting with discipline, and reporting with the transparency a serious investor expects.

Founders

Three partners combining brokerage market access, capital strategy, and operational discipline

Our Edge

Disciplined Geographic Focus

Five counties, one underwriting playbook. We don't chase deals across state lines or pursue markets we don't live in — and we don't apologize for it.

Every property within an hour's drive of our team. Every rent-control ordinance read line-by-line.

20+ Unit Thesis

Below the threshold institutional capital is willing to chase, above the reach of retail buyers — meaningful scale with limited competition.

We screen ~16,900 NJ multifamily parcels and pursue the long-held mom-and-pop owners who don't list with brokers.

Direct Access to the GPs

Quarterly financials with full P&L, rent roll, and capex schedule. K-1s on time. And when you have a question about a deal, you reach the partner who underwrote it — not an investor portal ticket queue.

Institutional discipline at the scale where the GP still picks up the phone.

Proprietary Deal Pipeline

The Taylor Lucyk Group's NJ-wide brokerage relationships, layered on top of our own owner-intent data, generate off-market deal flow our peers don't see.

First-look access to long-held owners considering an exit — months before a deal would otherwise hit the market.

Where We Are, Honestly

This is Green Oak's first institutional vehicle. Our team brings decades of northern NJ real estate experience — sourcing, brokerage, construction oversight, and property management — but we have not yet operated a multi-investor fund at scale.

What that means for you: we've structured the platform conservatively. Modest target raises, meaningful GP commitment on every deal, and underwriting that earns its return without aggressive rent assumptions. We'd rather pass on a good deal than force a great pro-forma.

Our investors are partnering with northern NJ insiders who are building a fund around the market we know — not generalist allocators learning the territory after the fact.
