Episode notes
Billion Dollar Buying Wave On East Coast
- Deep-pocket investors are lining up to deploy about $1 billion into distressed East Coast multifamily assets.
- Bazzotto Group aims to buy properties heavily devalued and repackage them, creating buying pressure when banks take haircuts.
Why Distressed Multifamily Drops 40–50 Percent
- Property values fall from rising cap rates, rising expenses, and deteriorating operations when owners stop investing.
- That triple effect can push assets to trade at 40–50% below prior purchase prices, making them attractive to new buyers.

- Sentiment and fear delay buying even when numbers look attractive; discounts must be very large to overcome nervousness.
- Buyers need a big margin of safety because recent losses make lenders and investors cautious despite favorable math.
