About Mark J. Hunter

I am a founder with successful exits in three diverse, unrelated industries. I am drawn to innovate in regulatory environments in which technology allows for new solutions that were not previously considered by the agencies.My current fascination is housing. I started with building homes for foster youth that could not afford first month rent. The goal was to build the strongest, most eco friendly homes that could be rented for half the market rent. I became a licensed general contractor and actively hold an HVAC, plumbing, and roofing license. This depth of knowledge is necessary to innovate and create market-based solutions within the existing confines of the zoning and building code. With previous experience in investment banking and private equity, I never expected to be playing in such an unsophisticated industry but am continually amazed by the economic opportunity by having the courage and drive to do things differently.I have acquired, built, and managed a personal portfolio of over 300 single family homes in six states. One of my passion projects, Docked Living, is the largest coliving developer in Florida.I love working with startups and have made over 200 angel investments since 2016.Although I am an INTJ, I can talk for days about Black Mountain College (passion project: www.BlackMountainCollege.com), urban planning, entrepreneurship through acquisition, leveraged buyouts of lower middle market companies, charter cities, the trades (passion project: www.TheServicePros.com), and the remarkable opportunities with fractional home ownership and the secondary mortgage market.On Twitter @HunterMarkJ Podcast: Think Like an Owner https://podcasts.apple.com/sv/podcast/mark-hunter-lessons-from-a-career-in-micro-private/id1445929750?i=1000512205855

    Founder
    Docked Living Jan 2018 - Present

    Docked is Florida's largest coliving developer. Docked's mission is to address the affordable housing crisis by developing innovative market-based housing at half the cost. Founded as a crusade against municipality-enforced zoning statutes that unnecessarily inflate housing costs, Docked is a regulatory hacker that maximizes density while operating within the confines of existing zoning statutes.

    Founder
    Built With Love 2001 - Present
    St Petersburg, Florida, United States
    Named after the company registered by Michael Singer, NYT Best Selling Author of Untethered Soul and the Surrender Experiment. Built with Love is a vertically integrated real estate developer that has acquired, built, and managed a portfolio of more than 300 single-family homes located in six states. I bought my first single family house at age 20 and have been an active real estate investor since 2001.
  • Klh Capital, L.P.
    Co-Founder And General Partner
    Klh Capital, L.P. 2004 - 2012
    Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida Area
    After three years of investment banking, I was looking to be more entrepreneurial and formed a partnership with two industry veterans that had been acquiring businesses in the lower middle market since 1985. In addition to establishing a brand, reputation, and organization that has scaled to over $1B of assets under management, I am most proud of identifying the opportunity to innovate within the highly regulated SBIC industry. At the time all SBIC funds were debt funds investing in loan products. After researching the regulations, I discovered a creative transaction structure that allowed us to take majority control equity positions as a licensed SBIC fund. KLH Capital, LP was the pioneer and today more than 100 private equity funds have followed our precedent.
  • Wells Fargo
    Investment Banking Analyst - Real Estate
    Wells Fargo 2001 - 2004
    Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
    This group was led by the former head of JP Morgan's Real Estate Investment Banking Group. Although the typical analyst program is only two years long, I was asked to stay for a third year as an associate on both buy-side and sell-side capital market transactions. I was staffed on IPOs, public debt and equity offerings, and worked closely with large real estate private equity funds and public REITs.I found this job opportunity by going to the University of Virginia's career fair and posing as a UVA student because investment banks do not recruit from my university. I was transparent about my education and the recruiter appreciated the hustle and unorthodox approach.
