Manuchehr “Manny” Khoshbin’s rise in American real estate began under challenging circumstances. At the age of 14, he and his family fled Iran, arriving in the United States with limited financial resources and proficiency in English. This early adversity taught Khoshbin resilience and a willingness to embrace any opportunity. His first jobs, such as stocking shelves at Kmart and selling nuts door-to-door, provided him with early exposure to hard work and entrepreneurship, setting the stage for his later success. By his early twenties, Manny Khoshbin was drawn to real estate and mortgage, quickly recognizing the potential in undervalued assets. At 23, he purchased a supermarket in Santa Ana and used its profits to invest in commercial properties that others overlooked. This approach, centered on identifying and repositioning underperforming properties, became a hallmark of his career. His foresight proved especially valuable in 2007, when he sold over a million square feet of office space before the market crash, protecting his business and capital. As founder and CEO of The Khoshbin Company, Khoshbin has built a respected real estate investment firm based in Costa Mesa, California. With a portfolio spanning industrial, retail, and office properties across multiple states, the company has completed over $1.5 billion in transactions. Known for its hands-on management and direct involvement in all aspects of acquisition and operations, The Khoshbin Company maintains a flexible structure that enables it to respond quickly to market changes. Originally a family office, the company now partners with select outside investors to expand its reach while upholding its disciplined approach. Khoshbin’s commitment extends beyond business. He is an active philanthropist, having donated over $600,000 to children’s organizations and pledging $1 million to the CHOC Thompson Autism Center. He is also an author, sharing his insights and experiences in books such as “Contrarian PlayBook” and “Driven,” which encourage others to overcome challenges and pursue their goals. Today, Manny Khoshbin resides in Newport Coast, California, with his wife, Leyla Milani Khoshbin, and their two children. His passion for collecting rare and exotic cars reflects his investment mindset, which focuses on quality and long-term value. Khoshbin’s journey is marked by resilience, vision, and a dedication to giving back, illustrating how determination and strategic thinking can turn adversity into lasting achievement.
