remains strong as investors are attracted to the typical long term leases with
rental escalations.”
said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group. Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group,
added, “High net worth individuals are attracted to net leased assets as they
offer a more favorable return then most financial securities.”
