Weiss Properties - Mordechai Weiss
What do you all know about this guy and his group, Weiss Properties? I see an article posted just over a month ago that he was involved in a fraudulent apartment deal in Houston. I saw this morning that he is tied up in a FNMA foreclosure on Louisville’s largest apartment building - Fannie took back the building for $20M after originating a $42M loan with Greystone back in 2023.
A search on social media shows quite the facade of a “successful” NYC lawyer and RE investor.
Lol it's two different people just happened to be named mordechai.
Are you sure?
Yes you idiot.. you think a 26 year old could get a $50 mill fannie loan in 2023? How jealous are you
Its the same guy. He claims to be a lawyer because he went to law school and says he founded a real estate business which is just a chunk of his dad’s portfolio that he was gifted to get going.
Let's put on our thinking cap here. You really think a guy facing up to 30 years in prison is posting daily on linkedin?
It's different people with the same name.
If you trust someone with a supervillain name, that's on you.
I'm not investing money with "Victor von Doom" either.
Will the real Mordechai Weiss please stand up?
Elite ball knowledge
Different Mordichai. One is Weiss Property Group based out of Monsey, New York and quite fraudulent. Other Mordechai is Weiss Properties seems to be legit.

This is a good lesson for all you young professionals. Do thorough due diligence.
I know the analyst who worked on that houston deal at berkadia. Hilarious but insane situation they were in.
Echo the comment above, stringent DD is a must, especially when certain folks simply disregard all rules meant to keep the game fair.
So is this Mordechai Weiss the same guy who is all over LinkedIn, or a completely different person?
General rule that holds outside RE too. When someone's social presence shows hyper-success and the public records show foreclosures and litigation, trust the records. Profiles are produced. Filings are not. Boring DD wins.
But is it the same guy?
Does anyone have the real deal article they could clip?
I have met the influencer / social media / instagramer Mordechai Weiss in person at Shabbat services Friday night in the UES (Chabad YP at KJ) like a year or two ago. We shook hands and said hello briefly. He is like some 20 something year old. Went to Yeshiba University I think and then NYU Law. Worked a year in big law but seemed to have better career / life options working for his father’s real estate company. I figure that was a better move for him.
As an aside I also met his sister who was a Penn Law student when I was an undergrad there like 10+ years ago. I think she is now a judge in NJ
That Mordechai Weiss I highly doubt is involved with any criminal activity. He is basically like a VP at his dad’s company helping with legal matters. Probably not running deals.
In the Jewish / ashkenazi community - Mordechai Weiss (both first and last names) is a decently common name. Maybe like a Christian being named John or Mark or an Irishman named O’Connell for the sake of example.
There are likely many other people with the name Mordechai Weiss in the USA. Also since a lot of Jews are in real estate probably multiple Mordechai Weiss’s in American Real Estate. I would figure the one in court filings of deals and loans gone wrong with Fannie Mae in Texas are probably some other Mordechai Weiss, not the IG guy.
I hope this helps. Cheers
