INTRODUCTION TO STRATTON EQUITIES’ CEO – MICHAEL MIKHAIL

Mikhail joined the mortgage industry in 2003. He excelled as a mortgage loan officer and a sales manager. His entrepreneurial spirit took him around the world, traveling to 19 countries in five years, where he faced the lowest of lows life has to offer. Michael hit rock bottom – becoming homeless in a foreign country. Mikhail borrowed $1000 and created his own company Stratton Equities- the leading nationwide private money & NON-QM mortgage lender for real estate investors. Within six months, the company had made $1.3 million.

Stratton Equities has become a household name in the private lending industry and are on track to fund upwards of $1.2 Billion in closed loan volume.
