How is 2017 Looking for Net Lease Investments?

With the turmoil of 2016 behind us, #investors are looking ahead to what the new year might bring. But just because the calendar has flipped to 2017, volatility and uncertainty are still at the forefront of most experts’ minds. The truth is, nobody – no matter their level of expertise – can precisely predict where the markets will go as the year unfolds.

That being said, there is a sub-sector of the commercial real estate market that, historically, has achieved an impressively solid performance record. One whose hallmark is stability, no matter what’s happening elsewhere. Net lease investments offers several benefits to investors that aren’t found elsewhere, like minimal basis point variance during the peaks and troughs of the markets and superior risk-adjusted returns compared to other investment vehicles.

And nationwide, a trend to move net lease investments even further into the mainstream is being observed. For example, the International Council of Shopping Centers has implemented an N3 conference series to help educate investors across the country. Add to that programs for continuing education credits on triple-net lease investments at its May RECon Conference in Las Vegas, and it is clear that net lease investments are rapidly gaining favor across the board.

While nobody has a crystal ball to predict exactly how net lease investments will perform, they are poised to be one of the favorites of 2017.
