INVESTOR RELATIONS

John Joseph Jr. | Managing Partner | Investor Relations

John Joseph, born in 1971,  has been in the Real Estate industry for over two decades.  John began his career in Real Estate in 2000, working as a lobbyist/consultant for two prominent law firms in Austin, Texas; wrapping up his time at Clark, Thomas & Winters, PC, which was, at the time, one of the oldest and largest law firms in Austin, Texas. John’s work primarily focused on developers and property owners seeking to navigate the increasingly arduous right-to-build, and  entitlement processes in Austin, and Travis County.  It was over these many years, John became interested in the owning/investing of real estate, rather than consulting & advising. 

In the years that followed, John shifted away from consulting, and focused his energy knowledge into investment & acquisition (of real estate), ultimately growing his investment portfolio, from New York to Florida, and from Michigan & Illinois to the Southwest. John has underwritten performance on thousands of assets, acquired, invested, and owned/sold over $400M in assets.  

Soon after the 2008 financial crisis, as the finance and real estate markets were looking for their bottom, John entered the world of investing in the stock market.  John is now a Managing Partner of MainStage Capital Management, focusing on Investor Relations, and general business operations.  He has invested/partnered in featured film projects in the entertainment industry, and currently, owns and working on a reality TV series.
