Episode Description
Today we have a dynamic duo that, I believe, are about to make a lot of people a whole lot of money! First, Jon Stark! Jon is an experienced commercial real estate broker, multifamily investor, husband, father, and entrepreneur. He started his commercial real estate career as an investment sales associate for Marcus & Millichap in late 2017. Learning the multifamily investing side, he ran into Imani Abdullah. Imani is a former athlete turned real estate investor who is an absolute powerhouse for breaking down deals. Both these gentlemen have partnered up to run Multifamily syndications at Stark Capital.
