Mr. Kalikow has been in the private lending business since 1970. In 1993, he co-founded Max Capital Management Corporation to purchase office properties in New York City, eventually building the company into a full service real estate organization and one of the largest privately held commercial real estate investment firms in New York City. In mid-2002, Mr. Kalikow’s interest in Max Capital was redeemed, and Manchester Real Estate & Construction, LLC was formed to focus on real estate debt and equity simultaneously.

Foreseeing impending real estate problems, in 2006 Mr. Kalikow liquidated his levered real estate holdings. In 2007 Mr. Kalikow was granted an FDIC license, allowing him to form Max Bank Corp and in 2008 he began buying banks in the southeastern United States.
