MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Andrew Reichert and Dan Croce sit down with Chris Seveney, an experienced investor who buys distressed mortgage notes. Chris shares his unique approach to impact investing - instead of evicting borrowers behind on their payments, he works to keep them in their homes. He buys loans from banks and hedge funds at a discounted rate and uses a servicing company to handle payments and negotiate new payment plans with borrowers. They delve into buying and selling non-performing loans, with companies acting as middlemen for banks to divest them. Chris also discusses how his company started with a small investment and now manages over $10 million by focusing on distressed debt and providing win-win situations for borrowers by helping them refinance at lower rates.
Join us as we explore Chris's impactful investment strategy that helps people stay in their homes while generating profits for investors.
