The Key:  Relationship Depth and Quality

It is the depth and quality of the business relationships Wayne Gerenstein has established with his capital sources that is the key to serving clients of Stateside Private Capital.  Deliverying capital quickly in a real estate transaction requires relationships built on trust, integrity and track record.  Relationships of this nature take years to develop.  The Founder of Stateside Private Capital has put in the time and effort to foster these sound relationships, and as a result, our clients reap the benefits through fast moving cash transactions.

Background, Experience and Education

Wayne Gerenstein graduated in 1974 with a degree in Education from Northern Illinois University, an institution known for preparing educators.  From 1975 through 1987, he taught and coached in a Chicago suburban school system (School District #401).  Classroom teaching and coaching varsity athletics in football and wrestling prepared Wayne in many ways for his first business venture launched in 1987.  Successful teachers and coaches are highly trained in skills such as management and organization, and these skills were applied to a Nationwide sports marketing venture that Mr. Gerenstein founded and launched.  Raising significant capital and marketing a Nationwide business resulted in an intense learning curve that opened the doors to finance and real estate. 

Since 1990, Wayne has been immersed in the world of finance and real estate.  This is the reason he has built so many relationships with sources of capital who truly are the "check-writers" that buy and refinance real estate.  In the "post-meltdown" era, thousands of unemployed mortgage and real estate brokers portray their companies as the check-writers that monetize real estate through acquisitions or cash out refi's, when in fact they are mired in a chain of brokers.  We do not work through these "broker-chains"!
