REO XIV seeks to generate superior risk-adjusted returns without using leverage, with the same value and real estate investment strategies successfully utilized in prior Helvetica REO pools.  REO XIV plans to target distressed real estate investments including short sales and bank-owned residential properties primarily in Southern California. This pool has a short term investment strategy and will likely be liquidated within the first 12- 18 months.

 

REO XIV oversubscribed in less than 30 days. "We are pleased that the interest in REO XIV was strong in a challenging and turbulent economic climate and we continue to appreciate the confidence and support that our investment partners have shown in the Helvetica team over the past several years," stated Helvetica CEO, Chad Mestler. "We will continue to work hard at mining alternative real estate investments for our investment group that achieve above average risk adjusted returns and with short term time horizons."
