On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Chris Zona. Chris shares how investors can use litigation not as a defensive tool but as a powerful offensive strategy to unlock value in distressed and value-add real estate deals. He explains how buying non-performing notes, enforcing loan covenants, and strategically using foreclosure or receivership actions can give investors control and create strong returns. Chris also talks about where these opportunities are most abundant and how his background as an Air Force JAG shaped his disciplined and strategic mindset.Where to find Chris:Website: Mandelbaum Barrett PC – Christopher T.
