Jordan Yarosh, SAB Capital
Name: Jordan Yarosh
Title: Capital Markets Associate
Company Name: SAB Capital
List 2-3 real estate associations or organizations that you are currently a member of:
- International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC),
- Commercial Real Estate Finance Council (CREFC)
Who was/is your mentor and how did s/he influence/help you in your career?
My mentor, Miguel Jauregui, has taught me everything I know about net lease financing. Miguel stresses a focus on client motivation and looking at things from a lender’s perspective, allowing me to analyze deals more critically and determine which execution would be best suited for each borrower.
What led you to your current profession?
I entered real estate after a robust ten-year career in the music industry, tour managing with some of the world’s most prominent artists, including Taylor Swift, Tiësto, Weezer, and more. I have always had an interest in real estate and have never been one to shy away from significant challenges. By pursuing CRE investments, I decided to go after some of the largest transactions on the market. My history managing high-profile artists in complex situations has prepared me for a bright future in commercial real estate financing, where I play many roles and oversee various personalities under critical circumstances.
What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?
I recently closed a seven-property portfolio refinance deal in Kyle, TX. The collateral included a mix of ground leases, vacancies, and owner operated units which created challenges during underwriting. Ultimately, through determination and some creativity, I closed the loan which included $4 million in cash-out proceeds for the borrower.
How do you contribute to your community or your profession?
I, along with SAB Capital as a company, contribute to the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship’s (NFTE) by volunteering in their various programs and hosting an annual charity poker tournament which I won this year. The winnings went to sponsor children attending the BizCamp summer program for emerging entrepreneurs: a program that encourages entrepreneurial thinking through a lean business model canvas to organize a unique business plan and pitch it for prize money and local community recognition. This empowering program allows individuals to take a new course in life and activate a new mindset, leading them to a bright future.
Top three things on your bucket list:
Start a family with my wonderful wife, Rachel; own a vacation home in the mountains; and teach my future children to play music and start a family band.
Favorite quote:
As my father always said, “Follow the money,” but I continue to live by “Go big or go home,” each day.
