Supply of Net Lease Properties in 1st Quarter 2014

According to Real Capital Analytics the supply of Net Lease Properties increased to more than 3000 properties available in the first quarter. Although most of this supply are Net Lease Properties with shorter lease terms.

Hopefully the new availability of Construction / Preferred Equity financing that was non- existent during the credit crunch will help to increase the supply of Net Lease Properties in the second quarter of 2014 and quench buyers demand for net lease properties.

National Real Estate Investor reported in an article dated April 17, 2014 that part of 2013’s cap rate compression coincided with the drop in Treasury rates. But even as Treasury rates perked up in early 2014, cap rates have actually moved down. REIT’s that specialize in net lease investing used to have the “pick of the litter,” but competition has caused them to alter their risk profiles. Walgreens and CVS Portfolios , which used to trade in the 7 percent range, are now trading in the mid-5s. To maintain a yield in the 7’s, today’s investors are forced to go for sub-investment grade properties, into tertiary markets, to buildings with shorter-term leases, or maybe assets that are all of those things.
