Ed Mathews is a seasoned real estate investor & the founder of Clark St Capital. With over a decade of experience, Ed built a portfolio of multifamily properties in CT & Southeast US.
Ed’s journey was far from direct. For 24+ years, he worked for Silicon Valley start-ups, honing his skills in the go-go tech world. It wasn’t until 2011 Ed bought his first rental property.
Over the years, Ed worked to grow his portfolio, juggling his family, day job & Clark St. Finally, in 2018, he left the rat race to focus on Clark St.
When he’s not hunting deals, he spends time with his wife, Patricia, their daughters, & their dogs. And if you catch him during basketball season, you’ll likely find him cheering on his beloved Villanova Wildcats.
With deep real estate knowledge & a passion for helping others, Ed is a trusted mentor for anyone looking to build their own real estate empire.
In this episode, we talked to Ed about his investment company and where it is today, overcoming the fear of failure while raising capital, providing value to tenants and forming long-lasting relationships, his first deal, and much more.
