Co-Invest, Don’t Buy Advice
We’re principals — not brokers, not advisors, not asset managers recommending other people’s deals
Through Emergent Investors Spain — our distressed-asset arm — we structure and execute real estate operations where the entry price is significantly below market value: pre-foreclosure resolutions, NPL acquisitions and judicial auctions.
In every operation we invest our own capital first. We selectively open a portion to qualified co-investors who want exposure to Spanish distressed real estate without sourcing, underwriting, executing or managing the deals themselves.
There’s no fund, no monthly NAV, no minimum allocation forced down. We present deals when they make sense, structure them transparently, and execute together. If the deal isn’t right, we don’t do it — and neither do you.
“Most ‘real estate investment opportunities’ shown to private investors are deals nobody else wanted. Ours are deals we want for ourselves first — and only then offer to qualified partners.”
Why Distressed Spanish Real Estate, Why Now
Post-pandemic rate hikes have created the largest cohort of stressed mortgages in Spain since 2014. Bank balance sheets, slow judicial auctions and inefficient secondary markets create persistent pricing dislocations — and a structural opportunity for capital that can move quickly.

Four Ways We Source Below Market
Every operation is unique, but they share one common trait: a structural reason the asset is selling below its fair market value.
01
Pre-Foreclosure Resolution
We identify owners with distressed mortgages weeks or months before the judicial auction date. We negotiate with the bank to cancel the debt and acquire the property at a discounted, certain price — saving the owner from auction loss and resolving the bank’s NPL. A textbook win-win, and our most active strategy.
02
Judicial Auction Acquisitions
When pre-foreclosure resolution fails, the property goes to courthouse auction. We participate selectively — only in operations where we have prior visibility on the asset, its legal status and its post-auction execution path. Higher complexity, narrower window, but compelling entry prices.
03
NPL Portfolio Acquisitions
We acquire individual non-performing loans (or small loan packages) directly from banks and Spanish loan servicers. We then resolve them — through negotiation with the borrower, asset acquisition, or restructuring — depending on the optimal exit per loan.
04
Off-Market Distressed Sales
Owners under personal financial pressure — divorce, inheritance disputes, urgent liquidity — who need to close quickly and discreetly. Sourced through our local network of lawyers, notaries, and family-office contacts. Lower volume but high-margin.
From Qualification to Profit Distribution

We Eat What We Cook
We don’t disclose specific economics publicly — every operation has its own structure and we discuss it transparently in your discovery call. But the principle is non-negotiable: our outcome is tied to yours, deal by deal.
We Invest Alongside You
Hispania commits its own capital in every operation we present to co-investors. We don’t sell deal access — we share deals we’re personally backing. If we lose, we lose more than the smallest co-investor in the deal.
Performance-Based Compensation
A meaningful share of our compensation is contingent on operation performance above defined thresholds. We don’t earn meaningfully if the deal doesn’t return what was promised — and our upside accelerates with yours.
Selective, Not Volume-Driven
We pass on the vast majority of deals we underwrite. There’s no quota, no fund deployment pressure, no “deal of the month” forced into the pipeline. If nothing meets our standards in a quarter, we present nothing.
“The best protection an investor can have isn’t a clause — it’s knowing the operator has more to lose than they do.“
Full economic structure is shared transparently during your discovery call.
What Qualified Investors Ask Us Most
Who can co-invest with Hispania?
Joint Ventures are reserved for qualified investors as defined by Spanish and EU regulation: high-net-worth individuals, family offices, professional investors and institutional partners. We verify investor qualification during onboarding before sharing any deal-specific information.
What’s the typical minimum ticket per operation?
Minimum ticket varies by operation. Most pre-foreclosure and off-market operations have minimum tickets in the mid-six-figure range; NPL portfolios and judicial auctions can be smaller depending on the structure. Specific thresholds are shared once qualification is verified.
What returns can I realistically expect?
We target net ROI of 30%+ per operation over typical hold periods of 6–18 months. This is a target, not a guarantee — distressed real estate carries operation-specific risks including title issues, market shifts and execution timing. Each operation includes a full risk disclosure with base, bear and upside scenarios.
How are profits distributed?
Profit distribution follows a defined waterfall structured per operation: typically pro-rata return of capital first, then a preferred return to co-investors, then a performance split between Hispania and co-investors above the preferred return threshold. Specifics are documented in each JV agreement.
What are the main risks?
Distressed real estate carries operation-specific risks including: legal/title issues that emerge post-acquisition, longer-than-expected hold due to slow judicial processes or market timing, valuation risk on exit, and concentration risk per operation. Our underwriting models all three scenarios; we share the analysis upfront.
Are these regulated investments?
JV operations are private real estate co-investments — not securities, not collective investment schemes. Each operation is structured under Spanish corporate or civil law (typically SL or Joint Account agreement) with independent legal counsel for both parties. We don’t operate a fund and don’t market to retail investors.
Can I exit my position early?
Generally no — capital is committed until operation exit. In specific cases secondary transfers between qualified investors can be arranged subject to terms in the JV agreement. We design each operation around its natural exit window, not around investor liquidity needs.
How does taxation work for non-resident co-investors?
Tax treatment depends on your country of residence, the legal vehicle used, and the operation’s structure. We coordinate with specialized international tax counsel and provide all required documentation (modelo, deed, distributions) in formats your local advisor can use. We strongly recommend independent tax advice.
Important: Joint Ventures are private real estate co-investments offered exclusively to qualified investors as defined by Spanish and EU regulation. They are not securities, not collective investment schemes, and not marketed to retail investors. All operations carry risk of partial or total capital loss. Past operation performance is operation-specific and does not predict future results. No information on this page constitutes a public offering, solicitation or investment advice.
