PRZ Capital LLC is an investment company investing in 1st position notes secured against real estate in key geographical locations in USA.

Many property owners in the USA, have negative equity in their properties. The value of the mortgage bond is greater than the value of the property. Often these owners default on the mortgage, leaving the current mortgage holder with ownership of the property. Financial Institutions are choosing to liquidate their portfolios of non-performing loans for substantial discounts in a bid to remove these non-performing assets from their books.

PRZ Capital buys the mortgage from the current holder at approximately 70% of the current value. We then go through the time consuming and knowledge intensive process of managing the foreclosure, updating and selling the Property. The process is complex and requires extensive knowledge of bankruptcy and real estate law and high levels of innovation in both the selection of the notes and the selling process. PRZ Capital has mastered the complexity of this unusual asset type and is therefore able to earn premium returns.

All three individuals have successfully managed their own businesses and they will bring this expertise to PRZ Capital. The team is made up of experienced professionals that are able to identify opportunities, execute deals, realize returns and effectively manage the costs associated with these types of investments.
