In this interview, I sat down with Kevin McCarthy, CEO of Southmark Capital. Southmark Capital purchases distressed debt and also offers short-term bridge financing.
His firm was formed over 20 years ago when he worked with the principals of two family offices to deploy their capital in a specialized platform to purchase distressed debt as a way to obtain low basis cost land that could be developed. As opposed to many buyers of distressed debt, they have a focus on ground-up development.
We discussed the state of the debt markets, the growth of non-bank lending, and what opportunities he sees coming down the road over the next 12-24 months.
