Brick City Capital Shines in Atlantic City: An Exclusive Conversation with KJ Mahan

At this year’s NPLA Conference, hosted at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, few booths drew as much attention as Brick City Capital.

Their space was packed throughout the event, staffed by notable leaders including KJ Mahan (Chief Revenue Officer), Sean Shanahan (President), alongside Vice Presidents Rocco Mandarino and Matt Neptun, as well as Loan Officers Josh Botti, Connor Depace, and Tyler Ross. Their dynamic presence conveyed Brick City Capital’s reputation as a leading force in DSCR lending.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with Eric Panecki, founder of Brick City Capital, whose warmth, sharp insight, and genuine interest in innovation made a lasting impression. Eric’s leadership continues to set the tone for a company that blends strategic thinking with a human touch.

Founded in Newark, New Jersey, and now operating nationwide, Brick City Capital has quickly grown into a major player in the private lending market, financing over $800 million in DSCR loans and maintaining a remarkable 77% client retention rate. The company’s focus on speed, flexibility, and clear communication has made it a preferred lender for real estate investors across the country.
