Paul Salib joins Beyond the Resume to discuss a career spanning real estate investment, bridge lending, and affordable housing development. From learning the business at Redstone Partners to building and selling a substantial New York portfolio, Paul explains how changing market conditions pushed him to adapt, manage risk, and pursue new opportunities.
Paul also shares how CRP Affordable Housing and Community Development expanded into California and why affordable housing has become such an important part of his work. He discusses serving populations including veterans, farmworkers, active military members, and young adults at risk of homelessness.
The conversation also explores leadership, breaking into affordable housing, the value of strong partnerships, hiring for work ethic and attention to detail, and the mentors who shaped Paul’s career. His advice throughout is simple: start small, stay patient, build relationships, and be willing to adjust when the market changes.
