Shlomo Chopp, founder of distressed debt consulting firm Case Property Services, has launched Terra Strategies – a newly formed asset management firm focused on investing in undervalued properties through derivatives. By capitalizing on the discrepancy between real estate bond and equity valuations, the firm looks to identify opportunities in quality real estate at significant discounts.
“After a long period of interest rate expansion, commercial real estate values are now resetting,” said Chopp. “This presents an opportunity for savvy investors with management skills to acquire attractively-priced assets with favorably misaligned risk/reward ratios – similar to how legendary investor Sam Zell described the market back in 1975.” With a focus on property operations, loan financing and loan restructurings; Terra Strategies is well positioned to take advantage of these current market conditions.
