Debt Doctor is In: Inside the Underground Goldmine of Distressed Real Estate Debt

Welcome back friend!

If you haven’t heard already, I’ve launched my new podcast, Debt Doctor.

I’m thrilled to have these weekly conversations with you about the complex world of distressed real estate debt and specialty finance to help you identify, acquire, and monetize undervalued real estate assets.

Quick side note: If you’ve been a loyal listener to Real Estate Lowdown podcast for the past few years, I really appreciate you. New episodes will come to an end July 2025, but the library of valuable content will remain.

As a real estate or specialty finance professional, asset manager, or investor, if you’re here, it means you’re ready to explore deeper into one of the most profitable and underutilized areas of real estate investing: non-performing loans (NPLs) and distressed mortgage notes.

Whether you’re building your investment portfolio from scratch or managing millions in assets, you’re in the right place – to hear from seasoned professionals pouring years of experience and industry know-how into every episode – that leverage, capitalize, and transform market volatility into double-digit returns to increase their investments, influence, and impact.

“The Debt Doctor podcast is a reflection of the journey I’ve taken, starting as a young investor navigating the real estate world, to the strategies I’ve used to acquire, manage, and monetize hundreds of distressed mortgage assets, to now leading conversations around how we can approach distressed debt with empathy, ethics, and equity.”

In the debut episode, I share more than just parts of my story. I unpack the misunderstood opportunity that exists in distressed mortgage investing, why borrower-focused resolution isn’t just the ethical route but the smarter one, and how to identify and monetize undervalued real estate debt assets in any market conditions.

Distressed debt represents a unique opportunity to invest in real estate without the traditional market volatility.

When you buy non-performing mortgage notes, you’re stepping into a market that’s often unknown even to those involved in real estate – and that’s exactly where the biggest opportunities lie.

Here’s what you can expect from the debut episode of Debt Doctor:

• What most investors get wrong about distressed real estate debt, and why it’s crucial to shift your perspective.
• How to profit from non-performing mortgage notes while maintaining ethical, borrower-centric solutions.
• The current state of the distressed mortgage market and how it presents new opportunities for savvy investors.
• My own personal approach to loan resolution, and how it has consistently led to better returns for my investors.
