Frequently asked questions
How does Imperative Management source proprietary deal flow?
The firm sources deals through relationships with special servicers, lenders, bankruptcy trustees, and other intermediaries who provide first-look access to distressed assets. This network is the primary channel for off-market opportunities.
Does Imperative Management participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm primarily executes direct real estate investments — both equity and debt — through its own managed funds. It does not act as a fund-of-funds or invest in third-party managers.
What investment stages does Imperative Management typically target?
The firm targets distressed, value-add, and opportunistic investments across the capital stack, including senior debt, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, and common equity. It does not target core or stabilized assets.
Which sectors does Imperative Management explicitly avoid?
Imperative Management does not invest in development projects, infrastructure, energy transition, venture capital, or public securities. Its mandate is limited to existing commercial real estate assets, with a focus on those in distress or requiring operational turnaround.
