Real Estate & Mortgage Owners

From first duplexes to property empires.

35 profiles, published in 3 installments. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.

Thirty-five profiles, in three installments, of the owners behind property and mortgage businesses — men and women who started with first duplexes and ended with empires.

Part one features Albert Berriz, Andrew Keel, Anthony Hsieh and Casey Crawford. Part two features Joseph Shalaby, Kent Clothier, Kevin Bupp and Liat Arama; part three, Ricardo Pagan, Rod Khleif, Shashank Shekhar and Stephanie Graves.

Real estate is the classic road to ownership, and also the one with the most folklore around it. These profiles replace folklore with record: deals, companies and portfolios, each fact-checked against its sources.
