“The market for net lease properties in Top 50 MSAs remains robust as these assets are in high demand among private investors.” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group.  Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added, “As there are a limited amount of core assets in the market, some investors are seeking higher yielding assets with shorter term leases.”
