It has been reported in several recent news stories and data services that single tenant net lease opportunities are still being completed in today’s market – especially those in the lower dollar size range. New York City based-Real Capital Analytics recently reported that sales actually rose! Accordingly, we have been asked by many of our investors to “right size” these opportunities for them - note some of the positives and areas that should be addressed before they take the plunge into these investments in today’s market.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug., 27, 2009 - (by Jim Tucker, CCIM) After a week of webinars and conference calls to digest and re-digest the awful news in the marketplace about our industry (transaction volume down 89% from the high in 2007), I happened to notice one snippet in an email from a fellow professional about what he observed about how inflation is lurking just around the corner.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug., 23, 2009 - (by Jim Tucker, CCIM) “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
That statement was shared recently by a colleague describing how we acquire client-relationships. As I’ve reflected on my 35+ years in commercial real estate, I believe no single statement more perfectly captures the essential components of the process.

 by Robert Pliska - Recent news articles have indicated that sale-leasebacks will pick up as time goes on in today’s current economic environment. There is still significant corporate interest in sale-leasebacks as a capital generation and balance sheet management tool. While volume of commercial real estate transactions have recently been down as recently noted by various data services such as New York City-based Real Capital Analytics, sale-leasebacks were actually accounting for a greater portion of the overall commercial property sales market.

by Gibson Kerr, CCIM - Nearly a year has passed since the stock market crash of September, 2008. In spite of the recent bounce, stocks remain nearly 40% off their all-time highs. Single family housing prices, which also appear to be stabilizing, are down 20-30% in most markets. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, home prices are down 33% from the peak in 2006 and are now at similar levels to where they were in 2003. (Note: Kansas City is not among the 20 cities tracked in this index, and our local market has performed significantly better than the national average).
