Paul Vranas, Director at akin—a joint venture between Denver-based Revesco Properties and Alpine Investments—joins Eytan Goldstein to share his journey as a third-generation Greek-American real estate investor. He talks about how his grandparents’ immigrant story shaped his approach to business, investor relationships, and risk.

They dive into the complexities of real estate syndication, the discipline it takes to walk away from misaligned capital, and the parallels between building trust in investor relationships and mastering a sales process. Paul also reflects on cultural identity and how long-term thinking and adaptability are key in today's shifting market.

They discuss opportunities in development, what it takes to raise capital in a tougher environment, and how lessons from software sales apply directly to the capital-raising world of real estate.
