Manny Khoshbin Male • United States of America
Manny Khoshbin built his real estate journey by focusing on distressed opportunities and staying consistent through challenges. As the founder and CEO of The Khoshbin Company, he spent years identifying undervalued commercial properties, improving them, and adjusting to shifting market conditions. His careful timing, hands-on involvement, and steady mindset helped him turn early struggles into long-term financial stability.
Khoshbin came to the United States at the age of 14 with his family after leaving Iran following the war. With limited financial support and minimal English skills, he had to adapt quickly. His parents taught him persistence, and he approached every opportunity as a step toward becoming self-reliant.
At 16, he worked at Kmart, taking on basic duties. By 18, he started his first business, selling wild door-to-door. Although it did not last long, it sparked his interest in business. At 21, he entered the mortgage and real estate field. By 23, Manny opened a supermarket in Santa Ana and used the profits to invest in real estate, aiming to create a stable foundation that could handle economic changes.
His early investment approach focused on overlooked properties in growing markets. In 2007, he sold more than 1 million square feet of office buildings before the market decline. Today, his portfolio includes commercial properties across several states, with experience in repositioning assets and adapting to post-COVID strategies. He also authored books that share his business methods and personal lessons.
The Khoshbin Company, based in Costa Mesa, operates as a private commercial real estate firm managing Class A and B industrial, retail, and office properties. Since its founding in the early 2000s, it has completed over $1.5 billion in transactions across seven states. The company focuses on improving underperforming assets and maintains direct involvement in management to support efficiency and consistent returns.
Manny has contributed over $600,000 to charitable causes focused on children, including a $1 million pledge to the CHOC Thompson Autism Center and support for organizations such as TACA.
He has been married since 2011 and lives in Newport Coast, California, with his two children. He values providing stability and opportunity for his family. His collection of exotic cars reflects both personal interest and investment strategy, focusing on rare models with long-term value.
Manny Khoshbin continues to expand his work through real estate, writing, and giving, guided by discipline, experience, and a clear sense of purpose.
