A distressed property is often outdated or in poor physical condition due to the owner’s precarious financial situation and inability to provide ongoing maintenance on the property. When deciding on a distressed property to bid or make an offer on, you should try to inspect the property as thoroughly as possible and, ideally, bring a trusted building contractor to get an estimate of repair costs. Knowledge of the property and awareness of the total costs will factor in greatly when determining your bid or offer.That knowledge will also guide non-auction purchases by providing measures for negotiating the purchase price.

Socotra Capital offers both interest-only and term loans on distressed property, allowing you to choose a payment schedule that best fits your needs. Buyers interested in a hard money loan on a distressed property they wish to rehab and resell quickly will benefit from our fix and flip hard money loans, which feature terms of 6 to 12 months in most instances.
Those interested in hard money loans for income-earning or rental properties should consider a buy and hold loan with a term up to 20 years. Keep in mind that when buying at auction, the buyer is required to pay for the property immediately at the auction; in this case the buyer obtains a cash-out loan from Socotra Capital following acquisition of the property. In any case, Socotra Capital provides funding for up to 85 percent of the purchase price, and, if applicable, 85 percent of the rehab costs for a distressed property, for a term as long as 7 years.
