Investing in Distressed Real Estate

Investing in distressed real estate is often characterized by the high returns it can offer on invested capital, as well as the many ways an investor can lose his invested capital. When investing in distressed real estate, either via equity or debt, it is inevitable that investors will come across “hair” that would normally deter more institutional investors. This “hair” may appear in the form of a property in desperate need of repairs, one that has significant environmental damage, or a property that does not have clean and marketable title.
