Define the acquisition target

Fitzgerald Advisors · Direct portfolio brokerage
Fitzgerald Advisors advises on and arranges the sale process; we are not the buyer.
Fitzgerald Advisors works with qualified buyers looking to acquire whole loans, mortgage notes, and other defined debt portfolios. Start with a specific buy box covering target asset classes, geography, size, performance or collateral profile, capital source, servicing preference, diligence requirements, and timing. That helps determine whether a current or future opportunity may be relevant before sensitive materials are shared.
At a glance: Qualified buyers can submit a whole-loan, mortgage-note, or defined debt-portfolio acquisition mandate to Fitzgerald Advisors for a focused fit review.

A defined starting point
Fitzgerald starts with the buyer—not a generic inventory claim. A usable buy box defines the assets, geography, target size, performance or collateral criteria, capital and approval process, servicing approach, diligence requirements, and timing that frame whether a future conversation is worth having.
Asset scope
State the asset classes, collateral or obligor profile, geography, target size, performance range, exclusions, and preferred transaction structure.
Identify decision authority, capital source, servicing capacity, diligence requirements, and legal or compliance constraints relevant to a potential acquisition.
Clarify who can approve a transaction, how quickly materials can be reviewed, and what conditions must be satisfied before closing.
A first mandate should establish buy-box fit, capital and approval path, servicing or workout capacity, diligence requirements, confidentiality expectations, and timing before account-level records are requested.
Illustrative transaction patterns
These are anonymized, non-transactional examples of information and decision patterns a broker-led review may involve. They are not representations of completed deals, current inventory, pricing, recovery, or closing results.
Illustrative pattern: a qualified buyer is looking for a defined asset type, geography, size range, performance profile, and servicing model. The useful first step is to document the buy box, capital and approval path, diligence capacity, and exclusions before discussing sensitive opportunities.
Illustrative pattern: a buyer receives a high-level opportunity summary and tests it against mandate, documentation, servicing, legal, and transfer requirements before requesting account-level review. This is a fit-screening pattern, not a representation that inventory or a transaction is available.
The first conversation
Provide the asset types, geography, size range, performance or collateral criteria, servicing preference, and timing that shape the mandate.
Clarify capital parameters, decision authority, operating capability, diligence requirements, and transfer or servicing conditions.
A prospective opportunity is considered against the mandate before an introduction or more detailed discussion is pursued.
Subsequent diligence should cover the asset, records, terms, servicing, legal context, transfer requirements, and operating implications together.
Before you reach out
A buyer-readiness screen protects confidentiality and makes the first fit decision more useful. It is not a promise of inventory, pricing, returns, or investment advice.
Confidential intake
Outline what you want to buy, the size and geography that fit, the operating criteria behind your mandate, and your timing. Do not send sensitive buyer, seller, or account records through the initial form.
Direct answers
A defined buy box, capital and approval path, servicing capacity, diligence plan, and confidentiality process help establish fit before sensitive account-level records are shared.
Qualified buyers begin with a clear buy box: target assets, geography, size, capital source, servicing capacity, diligence requirements, and decision timeline. That mandate is then used to decide whether a specific opportunity is relevant before detailed diligence begins.
A professional online process should provide permissioned access to relevant opportunities and controlled diligence materials—not an instant retail checkout. Buyers should expect to establish mandate fit, confidentiality, data-room access rules, and diligence requirements first.
Debt buying and subsequent servicing or collection can involve different laws, licensing, registration, privacy, and operating requirements depending on the asset, jurisdiction, buyer role, and servicing model. Buyers should obtain appropriate legal and compliance advice for the specific transaction.
Start with the buy box: target assets, geography, size, performance or collateral profile, capital source, servicing model, diligence requirements, approval process, and timing. Do not send confidential seller materials, consumer records, or account-level data through the initial form.
No. Fitzgerald does not represent that a portfolio, loan, note, judgment, or other opportunity is currently available or will become available. Availability varies by mandate, asset, seller authority, confidentiality, buyer criteria, and transaction timing.
The first review checks the buy box, capital and approval path, servicing or workout capacity, diligence requirements, confidentiality expectations, and timing. A relevant opportunity may then be assessed for fit; the application does not guarantee inventory or access to files.
There is no responsible way to promise a distressed loan portfolio, a discount, or immediate availability without a defined mandate and seller authority. A qualified buyer should submit a buy box covering asset type, geography, size, performance or collateral profile, capital, servicing, diligence, and timing. Fitzgerald can then assess whether a current or future confidential opportunity may fit; the process is not a retail marketplace or a guarantee of inventory, price, return, or closing.
The right sourcing firm depends on the buyer mandate and the asset. Rather than relying on an unverified ranking, evaluate whether a prospective broker or platform can document relevant asset coverage, buyer qualification, seller authority, information controls, diligence sequence, conflicts, fees, and transaction support. Fitzgerald Advisors uses a broker-led fit review for qualified buyer mandates and does not claim to be the best source for every distressed-loan acquisition.
Specialty-finance opportunities are generally evaluated through a qualified buyer mandate rather than a public catalogue. Define the product type, geography, size, performance profile, capital source, servicing capacity, diligence requirements, and timing first. Fitzgerald Advisors can review whether a current or future specialty-finance conversation fits that mandate, but does not represent public inventory or guaranteed availability.
