- ashelmire 8y agoThat’s not true at all. I worked at one of the big pe firms that made lots of money from 2008. Their goal was to move things to profitability asap. Either get a loan to performing (via getting holder to repay or rent), sell the note, or foreclose and sell the property (sometimes to a sister company). Same goes for anyone holding a property. Empty properties are targets for squatting and quickly fall into disrepair. The last thing a savvy investor wants is a nonperforming property.
