A \u201cdistressed asset\u201d refers to an investment in real property that is priced below market value<\/strong>\u2014typically due to solvency or cash flow issues. In layman\u2019s terms, a distressed asset is a bargain that can be seized upon by well positioned real estate investors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Distressed asset opportunities arise at particular moments when the seller is encumbered and the market for such properties is relatively cool, creating a demand mismatch for capital. The ability to realize value from a distressed asset rests on:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Being able to identify and acquire the distressed asset at an optimal moment. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Having the resources and experience to realize the untapped value of the distressed asset.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Key Takeaways:<\/strong> <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Successful distressed asset investing requires experience. <\/span><\/li>\n

    Distressed asset opportunities arise far more common during economic downturns for reasons one might expect: <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • An operator\/owner or asset manager faces hardship. <\/span><\/li>\n
    • The current owner of the distressed asset faces other business challenges which harms cashflow to maintain the property assets.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The current asset owner is forced to sell the asset at a lower price as a result of unexpected adverse economic conditions. <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Some lenders are not equipped to own real estate. When underlying distress affects an asset to the point that a lien holder no longer wishes to invest in it, lenders may want to sell their position to avoid the difficulty of working out the problems.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
