What we do

A direct buyer.
A capable operator.

01

Credit acquisitions

We purchase non-performing and sub-performing real estate loans directly from lenders and other holders.

Selected transactions

02

Workout

We work with borrowers, counsel, and other stakeholders to resolve troubled loans through negotiated settlements, restructurings, and legal proceedings.

03

Real estate operations

We manage, lease, and improve the underlying properties, with in-house teams supporting stabilization and disposition.

Property management

Our approach

Maximal recovery. Execution certainty. Expedient execution.

01

Start with your priorities

Whether you need liquidity, a closing by a specific date, or a way out of a prolonged workout, we begin with your objectives and constraints.

02

Work to your timeline

We establish a clear diligence and closing schedule, identify what we need early, and keep you informed so you can plan around the transaction.

03

Build certainty before closing

You deal directly with the buyer. We address credit, legal, and property issues upfront and communicate terms and conditions clearly to reduce surprises late in the process.

04

Focus on your recovery

Our credit and real estate operating experience helps us see value in complex situations. We seek to maximize your recovery while accounting for the time, cost, and uncertainty of continuing to hold the asset.
