Net lease investors are seizing the moment as interest rates stabilize and political uncertainty fades. Miguel Jauregui, managing director of Capital Markets for Sands Investment Group, observes a market in transformation, with deal flow increasing and innovative financing strategies taking center stage. Speaking ahead of GlobeSt.com's Net Lease Spring conference in New York City on April 1, Jauregui unveils how savvy investors are capitalizing on emerging opportunities in this evolving landscape.

Jauregui predicts a continued upward trend for net lease as an asset class within the broader commercial real estate sector. "Net lease as an asset class will continue to increase as a slice of the greater eye of commercial real estate. And I expect that trend to continue," he said. This growth is occurring despite recent increases in cap rates and only slight decreases in interest rates.

The market has largely come to terms with the current interest rate environment, Jauregui noted. "We have seen your typical investor come to terms with the fact that these are what the rates are, what they are today, and for the foreseeable future that will remain the same."
