Owning retail property is just like owning multifamily, except:
•Less management
•Less tenant turnover
•Tenants pay on time
•Fewer sharks competing for deals
•Far less new supply
•NNN Leases
•No rent control
•Tenants invest in your property
•Higher yields…
Recently Closed:
$4M acquisition loan on a brand new Caliber Collision 15 year NNN lease at 5.95% on 30 year amortization, no prepay penalty.
$2.6M acquisition loan on a CVS in TX at 5.78%.
Verizon Wireless, Take5, Starbucks and Advanced Auto also closed with similar terms 👀
The Apollo-Realty Income joint venture is exactly the kind of deal that tells you where net lease is headed.
Apollo is putting $1 billion to work in a portfolio of ~500 single-tenant retail properties - dollar stores, pharmacies, QSRs - at a capped IRR of 6.875%. That's below what it would cost @RealtyIncome to raise public equity. The math works, the structure is repeatable, and Realty Income's CEO is already calling it a "template."
More and more large capital managers are finding their way into net lease through private funds and, in this case, through structured partnerships with public REITs.
Institutional investors are recognizing that net lease delivers risk-adjusted returns. Tenants cover taxes, insurance, and maintenance. The income is predictable. The credit is often investment-grade.
Every major capital platform is looking for a home for its money right now. Net lease keeps proving it's one of the best answers.
I'm hopeful transactions like this continue and that net lease keeps getting the attention it deserves.

There’s far too much capital chasing deals to build a business by focusing on just one market.
The hyper-localized approach is outdated.
Today, you can get detailed information on a site across the country in minutes, something that would have been impossible 20 years ago.
Anyone can now compete in your market from anywhere, so make sure you can compete in theirs, too.
Geographic hyper-focus is highly overrated in today’s world.
Instead, become so hyper-focused on a specific niche that you know it so well you can do a deal anywhere.
Toured this brand new distribution center in Augusta yesterday, 100% leased to Frito Lay / Pepsi. A huge upgrade from where they’d been the last 20 years just 6 miles away.
Financing is locked for the buyer at 68% LTV, 6.19%, non-recourse, no prepay penalty
