NEW YORK CITY—Net lease might have been a niche product five years ago, says Gordon J. Whiting, "but if you're going to be in the REIT Index, you've got to be in net lease." The managing director of Angelo, Gordon & Co. met with GlobeSt.com during RealShare NET LEASE in New York City on April 1, 2014.
Net lease assets now comprise almost 8% of the REIT Index, which is why Whiting is so surprised the asset has only recently caught fire. But because the asset creates consistent cash flows with almost no associated expenses, he believes it makes it a perfect place to chase yields.
Whiting also discussed:
- Possible reasons behind the increase in build-to-suit developments
- His projections for future M&A activity
- How the next 12 to 18 months will stack up for transactions
- The future of interest rates.
