Acquisition of distressed property

A distressed property be it a development site, close to completion development project, almost ready to start development project or a commercial building but is distressed for the following reasons. 

• Relationship failure. The corporate owners of the property may be entering a separation or business dispute and require a property to be sold quickly. To achieve this goal, they reduce the price.
• Declining value. For various common reasons, the property may be potentially losing its value and its vendors may wish to liquidate before the debt becomes higher than the value.
• Mortgagee-in-possession. A commercial borrower may no longer be able to afford mortgage repayments, or refinance their development site or commercial building
• Deceased estate. It is often the case that the trustee of an existing loan advance, can no longer access drawdowns of a construction loan in the event of death the mortgagee. The facility is restructured to enable drawing down any further funds.
