We are in the midst of one of the most significant market dislocations the real estate sector has seen in decades - and if you’re a distressed debt investor or portfolio manager, this episode is your field guide.

I’m Bill Bymel, the Debt Doctor, and in this episode, I unpack how rapidly shifting interest rates, falling valuations, and widespread capital tightening are creating a perfect storm of distressed assets across both residential and commercial real estate.

From post-pandemic fallout to ballooning insurance costs, this market is full of landmines - and goldmines. While legacy lenders and overleveraged owners scramble, savvy investors are stepping in with dry powder and discipline to seize deeply discounted debt.

We explore:

• Why the current credit environment is accelerating distressed opportunities
• How forced selling and cap rate expansion are reshaping deal flow
• What this means for note buyers, special servicers, and capital allocators
• The importance of liquidity, patience, and precision in this unfolding reset

If you're actively acquiring non-performing loans, managing distressed assets, or building a pipeline of undervalued paper, this episode delivers the insights you need to stay ahead of the curve and position yourself for what's next in the debt markets.

This isn’t another doomsday forecast. The dislocation is real. And so is the upside - if you know where to look.

In this historic market dislocation, the ones with strategy and expertise won’t just survive - they’ll thrive.
