About this episode

Folding a losing hand in poker is easy. But folding a losing career to go all in in real estate and start from scratch? That takes guts. And it's what Evoke Capital’s Pasha Esfandiary did after he realized the poker lifestyle wasn’t in the cards for his ideal future. Armed with skills he learned in poker—assessing risk, making calculated moves, and going all in for every good deal, Pasha set out to build a real estate empire. And build he did! With 2,150 acquired since 2021, Pasha’s portfolio is a ‘royal flush.’ In this episode, Pasha lays his cards on the table, opening up about how he went from a 7-year poker professional to flipping houses and now controlling such a massive portfolio. His secret? Specializing in mobile home parks, partnerships, and going all in for all the good deals. You’ll also learn how Pasha: Applies his poker skills to real estate Raised $750k with just 8 calls Identifies good mobile home park deals Secured a $2M loan with a handshake!
