About Frank Rush

Frank was introduced to real estate, property management and investment properties at a young age. Growing up mowing lawns and helping with painting/light maintenance on a portfolio of duplexes and single-family properties in the Minneapolis area, Frank learned early how to manage and operate rental properties. 

Purchasing his first investment property in 2007, Frank later graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a degree in Finance in 2011. While working at Coldwell Banker East West Realty as real estate agents, Frank and business partner Alex Rogers began purchasing investment properties ranging from 1-15 units. Soon thereafter, East West Property Management was founded in 2014 and currently manages over 550 units in the Duluth/Superior area.  

In 2020 Gray Duck Capital was formed, targeting value-add multifamily properties in the upper Midwest ranging from 75-150 units. It has always been one of Frank’s passions to introduce friends and family to the short- and long-term benefits of investing in real estate.
