Bio
The career for Howard Sobkov spans 26 years of finance, banking and commercial real estate. His tag line, helping the little guy compete with the big guys, is based in large part on the idea that he knows more finance than real estate folks and more real estate than finance folks.

Prior to starting Cap Ex Commercial in May 2012, Howard was Director of Operations and Asset Management for a private REIT, American Real Estate Partners which had 4.5 million s.f. of assets under management along the east coast.
