GlobeSt.com: How would you describe the state of the Texas net lease investment market?

Gaut: The single tenant net lease investment market in Texas is doing very well. We are a little short on available properties with an abundant of buyers. With lots of buyers, it is a great time to sell tough it is hard to convince most owners to sell. This is definitely the right time to sell in order to achieve a top price.
