ABOUT
Originally founded in 2006 as a tax lien/tax deed acquisition and servicing company for institutional clients, Blackwater rapidly expanded into the acquisition and management of single family and multi-family rental property as well as other real estate investments. We provide a complete suite of services from initial due diligence, including site inspection and BPOs or appraisals, acquisitions (auction, RFP and third-party), lien perfection and redemption, workout solutions, bankruptcy mitigation, foreclosure, fulltime and interim property rental management, and complete refurbishment or redevelopment and sale of property.
We bring over thirty years of experience covering a broad cross section of the real estate industry ranging from multi-million dollar municipal RFP evaluation and bid preparation to portfolio securitization, resolving environment issues, and working with local NGOs to enhance communities. We also specialize in handling distressed and underperforming property.
Our mission is to acquire and/or manage real estate investments tailored to each client’s investment parameters and risk limitations. In doing so we seek to maximize return on investment while minimizing risk and shorten resolution time on the turnaround or disposition of under and non-performing assets.
Through the use of fourth generation proprietary software we are able to efficiently track and monitor the status, profitability and history of each property and provide a full range of reporting
