Oak & Vine Capital

Oak & Vine Capital is a privately-held real-estate and private-credit investment firm based in White Bear Lake / Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota, founded in 2022 by Nick Stromwall. The firm sources commercial real-estate deals — including multifamily, industrial, storage, and other income-producing assets — and raises capital from accredited (or sophisticated) investors to syndicate ownership or provide debt / bridge-financing. Their model emphasizes passive investing: investors contribute capital while Oak & Vine handles asset acquisition, management, and execution.

Under its current structure, Oak & Vine offers both equity-syndication deals and a dedicated “Private Credit Fund” (a 506(c) offering) that provides capital via preferred-equity, mezzanine loans, or bridge loans to commercial real-estate properties. This fund aims to deliver regular monthly cash yield, profit-sharing, and an opportunity for appreciation — offering what they describe as an “open-ended” vehicle with quarterly liquidity after a lock-up. The firm frequently presents itself as aligned with “faith-driven” or “impact-oriented” investors — positioning investments not only for returns but also for long-term stewardship, community impact, and sustainable wealth growth.

While Oak & Vine markets target returns (in some deals projecting Net IRR of 25–30% and equity multiples of 4–7×), as with many private syndicators the returns are deal-specific and subject to market and execution risk. Prospective investors should carefully review offering documents, holding periods, the capital-stack structure, and risk disclosures. As of now, the firm relies heavily on private-placement offerings and doesn’t publicly publish long-term track records or aggregate audited return metrics.
