Real estate acquisitions in special situations

Direct. Discreet. Reliable.

We acquire properties in complex or time-critical sales situations, with short decision-making paths and a high degree of transaction certainty.

When we are the right contact

Not every real estate transaction can be handled optimally through a conventional sales process. Especially under time pressure, with financing problems or complex ownership and usage situations, a direct acquisition can be a sensible alternative.

Every situation is different. We assess quickly and confidentially whether a direct acquisition is a sensible solution for both sides.

We particularly consider properties in the following situations:

  • short-term liquidity needs or high time pressure
  • expiring loans or financing problems
  • impending or ongoing foreclosure auctions
  • insolvency and restructuring situations
  • communities of heirs or complex ownership structures
  • high vacancy
  • problematic tenancy or usage situations
  • other situations requiring a fast and reliable transaction

Our acquisition profile

Our acquisition focus is on properties in Berlin and the surrounding area. In addition, we consider selected opportunities throughout Germany from an investment volume of €3m.

Property types

  • Multi-family houses
  • Residential and commercial buildings
  • Condominiums
  • Hotels and guesthouses
  • Commercially let properties

Investment volume

Generally €100,000 to €10m per transaction.

Letting status and condition

We consider let as well as partially or fully vacant properties. Properties in need of renovation or refurbishment are also generally eligible.

What matters is the location, the economic framework and the specific special situation.

Why MP capital management?

Especially with properties in special situations, speed, transaction certainty, discretion and short decision-making paths matter as much as the purchase price.

  • Quick assessment

    Once we have received the key property information, you will generally receive an initial assessment within 24–48 hours as to whether an acquisition is an option for us.

  • High transaction certainty

    Thanks to our solid capital base, we can make purchase decisions quickly and reliably without depending on a bank's financing commitment. With complete documents and clarified conditions, notarisation is usually possible within 2–3 weeks.

  • Short decision-making paths

    You have one permanent, experienced contact. Decisions can therefore be made quickly and without unnecessary layers of coordination.

  • Flexible transaction structures

    Special situations often require individual solutions. That is why we do not follow a rigid acquisition process and adapt the structure of a transaction to the situation.

  • Discretion and confidentiality

    We treat sensitive property, owner and transaction information confidentially. A public marketing process is not required for a direct acquisition.

  • Real estate and financing expertise

    Our experience in real estate investment, financing and transaction advisory enables us to quickly assess situations that are complex in economic and financing terms and to make sound decisions.

How the acquisition works

  1. 1

    Offer the property

    Send us the key data on the property and the current situation. Existing property documents can be sent along directly.

  2. 2

    Initial assessment

    We review the key information and give you prompt initial feedback on whether an acquisition is basically an option for us.

  3. 3

    Review, viewing and purchase decision

    If we are interested in principle, we review the relevant property and transaction documents and usually arrange a viewing at short notice. We then agree the economic and contractual terms with you and make a purchase decision.

  4. 4

    Notarial completion

    Once the key terms have been agreed, the purchase agreement is prepared and notarised.

From the first review to notarial completion, you have one permanent contact.

For brokers and professional partners

We work in partnership with real estate brokers, banks and lenders, lawyers, insolvency administrators, tax advisors, family offices and other professional market participants.

We respect existing mandates and brokerage relationships. You will receive quick and clear feedback on whether a property offered fits our acquisition profile.

Particularly in sensitive or time-critical transactions, we place special emphasis on discretion, direct communication and professional handling.

Do you have a property or a special transaction situation that could fit our acquisition profile? Feel free to contact us directly.
