Values
Faith
Clear purpose, thoughtful spirituality

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Khalil Gibran
As a man of deep faith, Moshe Popack’s development was shaped at an early age by the enduring values and rich traditions of his ancestral family and their Eastern European roots.
His grandparents’ Belorussian and Polish backgrounds, experiences, and stories shared through the generations instilled in Moshe unwavering tenets of respect and celebration of humanity. These are the values central to his Jewish Orthodox faith and those which inspire his life today.
Influenced by a thoughtful spirituality, Moshe’s faith enlightens his approach to all aspects of his life. For him, faith is about relating to something greater than himself or those within his immediate sphere. This vision provides a clear sense of purpose that embodies his business philosophy, connections to family, and his responsibility to his community and country.
Guided by the notion of reserving judgement, Moshe values the common human experience we all share. His personal core value is that every single human being has worth and dignity that needs to be acknowledged, and respected.
He considers empathy as being fundamental to interactions with others and believes in the significance of self-actualization as well as empowered self-growth, concepts he regularly fosters in his personal and professional relationships. For this reason, Moshe considers community as our societal foundation, and engagement within communities as essential to a healthy, growing, prosperous society.
Moshe Popack relies on his strong, internal moral compass to inform his core value of integrity, the operating principle in his daily life and interaction with others. Faith is more than a religious virtue, it is also a commitment to a belief system that promulgates honesty, accountability and truth, the essential elements of leadership. Every day is an opportunity to act in large and small ways to take responsibility for one’s actions, successes, and in particular failures. As a man of faith, Moshe Popack strives to lead by example and to navigate through his life with candor, with dedication and with purpose.
Family
A universal value

There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues, the most dominating virtues of human, are created, strengthened, and maintained.
Winston S. Churchill
It has been said that the love of a family is life’s greatest blessing.
And so, it follows that the need for family love and support goes well beyond any individual need, rather it is a fundamental necessity for a healthy community and a vibrant country. Encouraging, supporting and strengthening the family unit is absolutely paramount for our great country to come together in common purpose once again, and realize the American dream of a more perfect union.
Moshe Popack revels in the value of family. From his heritage of Eastern European immigrants, to the humble life his parents built in New York City, to his own growing family of nine children, Moshe Popack nurtures his family to love, respect and engage with others, actively, in a responsible manner, for the benefit of the entire community.
Americans face many human challenges in our rapidly evolving world— from cultural changes to technology dilemmas; from racial tensions to the debilitating isolation of tribalism — so the need for a universal value — family— has never been greater.
Moshe Popack has devoted his professional time and personal energy to developing positive solutions for his community through the crucible of building and strengthening the family unit, in health, housing, education, and security. Ensuring opportunity and prosperity for everyone’s family is the means to a stronger country, and a better world.
Professional
Dedicated to changing lives and communities

When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
Elon Musk
Moshe Popack and his wife, Yaffa, launched their business in 2011 with purpose, and they haven’t looked back since.
Blessed with a keen market sense shrewdly perceiving a rapidly evolving real estate market, some entrepreneurial risk-taking, and a lot of hard work, they quickly built on some early success with residential properties in South Beach and grew their business into a multi-dimensional powerhouse.
A decade later, YMP is a sprawling and growing real estate investment and management firm, employing over 150 people, with over 3,500 units in Florida, North Carolina, and Kentucky; partnership in a waterfront hotel in Miami Beach; and 2 million square feet of commercial office space owned or managed in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey. Dedication to honest principles and socially conscious ideals, hard work, perseverance and belief in themselves and the opportunities that America uniquely provides have graced the Popacks with a successful business, and the ability to change lives and communities in the process.

YMP operations are built on the central principle of serving local communities with quality, efficiency and professional expertise to rescue distressed or mismanaged real estate situations. In addition, the business is guided by a prudent approach of setting realistic return objectives within acceptable risk parameters for each investment.
As part of this philosophy, YMP has successfully invested in two Opportunity Zone investments with strategies to rebuild and reinvigorate stagnant assets and the communities they serve. The commercial investment houses several local non-profit organizations which include child dental care, health and pregnancy centers for women, and other general health care providers. Recently, YMP partnered with Chapman Partnership to create a high-quality, long-term residential facility for homeless families in South Florida.
In 2019, YMP broadened into the Senior Assisted Living and Independent Living, developing and upgrading three existing facilities, restoring the properties to their original condition and appropriate care level. As part of its business philosophy, YMP aims to enhance these properties for the benefit of its residents and the local community. Moshe Popack has a clear vision and business philosophy, incorporating integrity, social responsibility and an entrepreneurial spirit to do well by doing good. It’s no secret why YMP is today one of the nation’s fastest growing real estate investment firms and considered by peers to be one of the best places to work in South Florida.
Philanthropy
Healthy communities, one neighborhood at a time

No one need wait a single moment to improve the world.
Anne Frank
In large part due to his gratitude for the success of his business, and driven by a lifelong philosophy of giving back, Moshe Popack has been a generous contributor to his community. It is a fundamental spirit of his life and his family’s value system. For that reason, the Popacks established the YMP Family Foundation and support many other community philanthropic initiatives. A firm believer in empowerment, Moshe has also strived to help communities by providing opportunities to be self-sustaining.
The YMP Family Foundation, with the aim to create a healthier America, has undertaken several initiatives to promote healthy nutrition and access to fresh food options. He and his wife, Yaffa, provided the initial funding to open the Miami Kosher Supermarket in North Miami, which offers families access to reasonably priced, healthy food.
Also, a cornerstone project is a community garden program, called “Neighborhood Farms”, a model program currently in Florida, with designs to encourage its adoption in others’ apartment complexes throughout the United States.
The Neighborhood Farms plan is elegantly simple: provide hexagonal, raised flower beds in community apartment space, plant organic vegetables and fruits, then residents and their families, especially Seniors and children, are encouraged to participate in caring for the gardens.
By providing an opportunity to grow and nurture healthy, organic foods free of pesticides and/or herbicides, the program is laying a foundation for a stronger community and fostering a greater sense of community throughout the residences. The goal is to build healthy communities, one neighborhood at a time.
America:

Mountaintops inspire leaders but valleys mature them.
Winston Churchill
