While many people are talking about the upcoming election, and how it might affect the market, Sabatini is more worried about interest rates, which he thinks will have a greater affect. “I think the most topical issue will be the election. I am sure that a lot of people are wondering how it will impact the market,” he says. “My assumption is that it won't make much of a difference who wins in terms of the net lease market. [The state of the market] is really more of a function of where interest rates go. If rates remain low, there will continue to be a strong demand for net lease properties.”

Sabatini, however, isn't much of a forecaster, and he says that the company doesn't make decisions based on estimations about the future. “We really don't have metrics that we set and that we base decisions on,” he says. “We really don't attempt to do any metric forecasting, but instead, we look at where we are at any given point in time. We don't really do a ton of predictions.”
