It is also interesting to note how organizations with fresh capital are looking to deploy their money. The difference between Madison and other groups is that they are looking for stable assets in core locations around the world rather than distressed assets that require repositioning.

2011 Forecast for Single Tenant Net Leased properties bodes well for Sellers

Single tenant net leased properties are widely misunderstood by the private investor. They can provide steady returns and a hedge against inflation because the tenant pays all of the expenses no matter what they increase. It is, however, important to look carefully at the lease, location, and tenant. Marcus and Millichap’s 2011 outlook is a good read for the private investor. There is much to interpret in this research, however, as the market is changing dramatically. Returns have gone down, and values have gone up as investors turn to safety.  Moreover, the amount of available product is down considerably. This bodes well for sellers, but makes it difficult for buyers to find good product.

A succinct look at commercial real estate investment strategy that everyone can benefit from.

I would comment that financing can be a bit tricky. This is where your advisor can assist and finding a good commercial real estate advisor is also tricky. 3 things to consider: 1) look at that person’s back ground. Is it in commercial real estate? Or is it in residential? 2) has that advisor done any transactions in the asset or sub-market you are considering? 3) ask the prospective advisor to show you examples of a Proforma they have created themselves, with examples of different loans they have applied to development of the Proforma. This is a key item that separates the part time advisor from the one who has a depth of experience that will help you structure a transaction that mitigates risk while reaching your investment objectives.
