Net Lease

While interest rates will bear watching--and don't they always--retail in general, and net lease properties specifically, are riding a growth wave.

The negative publicity caused by the struggle of Applebee's has changed how investors view the sector.

Interest in the property type is gaining, and for good reason, says Jeff Lefko of Hanley Investment Group.

According to Stan Johnson Co. associate director, Katie Elliott, mission critical industrial facilities are high on the investor radar, even outside of primary markets.

It is a great time to be a net lease investor, according to Lanie Beck, director of research at Stan Johnson Co., who just chatted with GlobeSt.com <b>EXCLUSIVELY</b> on the subject.

The discipline shown by many players in the sector means investors have opportunities.

The threat of digital obsolescence has left the convenience store category untouched and investors should take note, says Hanley Investment Group's Jeremy McChesney.

With the risk-free rate moving up, investors will expect returns on their investments to trend in the same direction.
