Vulture investor

Unlike an angel investor, a vulture investor buys up assets and financial instruments below cost from distressed entities. This could take the form of securities, debt, held assets, real estate, etc. A vulture investor may purchase the controlling shares of a company in order to liquidate, thereby realizing a higher yield return on investment than the original purchase price. Real estate could be purchased from a borrower who is no longer able to make payments on their loan and needs to sell the property in order to improve their balance sheet or retain their credit rating.

Criticism

Some derisively refer to vulture investors as picking over dead bones rather than assisting troubled ventures.

gollark: This is a TV box, not an SBC.
gollark: I have no idea.
gollark: There's a SBC with that SoC supported by ArchLinuxARM: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/amlogic/odroid-c2
gollark: It's probably ARM, so you need weird special distros because ARM is a mess.
gollark: It has redundant PSUs but I only have one plugged in so the fault warning light blinks constantly.
