Distressed Asset Solutions
End-to-end advisory for impaired assets and complicated capital situations. One team and one point of contact from first triage to final disposition.
There are two doors into any building: the deed and the note. Most firms only work one of them. BV underwrites the position, whichever claim on the asset our client holds, and works both doors: a broad marketed sale, a quiet off-market placement, a note trade, or a workout that means no sale at all.
Distressed assignments demand several disciplines at once: valuation, legal process, operations, construction, and capital markets. Splitting them across vendors is where recoveries leak. Ours run through one team, with strategic guidance and full transparency at each step.
Six ways in, one recovery strategy
Workout & position analysis
The first deliverable is the math: value against debt, coverage, basis, and a scored grid of the exit paths (refinance, extend, sell the deed, sell the note, discounted payoff, foreclose). Analysis to decide which door, before anything is marketed.
Receivership
Valuation, disposition strategy, and court-compliant marketing in connection with receivership proceedings, working alongside receivers, lenders, and legal counsel from appointment through sale.
Note sales & debt advisory
Sale and acquisition of performing, sub-performing, and non-performing notes, whether bank-held, CMBS, or private. The quiet, fast door into a building, run with the discretion the seller needs.
REO disposition
Once the lender owns the asset, the job is recovery: pricing, stabilizing decisions, and a sale process matched to the asset, whether broad campaign or targeted placement.
Construction & preservation
Coordination of the physical work a distressed asset needs to hold its value (securing, remediation, and targeted capital work) through BV’s vetted bench of contractors and operators.
Dispositions
Full marketing campaigns or off-market placement, on the deed or the note, with the exposure level chosen deliberately rather than by default.
Built for fiduciaries, run for recovery
One point of contact
Impaired assets fail slowly, then all at once, and coordination failures between vendors are usually part of the story. One team carries the assignment end to end.
Transparency at every step
Fiduciaries and courts need a record, not reassurance. Every recommendation arrives with its numbers, sources, and assumptions attached.
Compressed timelines
Time is the whole game in distress: carry costs accrue monthly, and value decays with vacancy. Process is built to shorten the path to resolution.
Preservation of value
The goal is to protect the client’s recovery, not just to move the asset. Sometimes that means selling; sometimes it means holding, fixing, or restructuring first.
Every seat at a distressed table
- Lenders & credit unions
- Special servicers
- Receivers, fiduciaries & courts
- Borrowers & sponsors
- Opportunistic buyers
The seat determines the strategy, not the level of effort. A special servicer's timeline, a court's reporting requirements, and a borrower's recapitalization all get the same underwriting depth.
Bring us the position.
A note, a deed, a receivership order, or a loan that just stopped performing. The first step is the same: the analysis that says which door to take.
