Pasha Esfandiary | From Poker to Real Estate
Pasha Esfandiary, co-founder and CEO of Evoke Capital, started his investing career in real estate in 2011 by flipping homes found at auctions.
Since then, he has been involved in over $250 million in transactions across multiple asset types. Residential homes, boutique motels, large multifamily properties, and housing programs in vulnerable areas are just some of them.
