STNL Investments, What to Expect in 2019?
The Single Tenant Triple Net (STNL) market has been on fire the last few years, with a slew of new buyers looking to acquire a STNL.
Many of these buyers are first time purchasers of commercial property. A basic law of economics states that if there is an increase in demand and stable inventory available then prices must increase. This is exactly what we’ve seen over the last few years as CAP rates have continued to compress.

Office Location Advice—What to Consider When Looking for Your Next Commercial Property
Location location location… We all know how important it can be to the success of a retail business, but is it as important for an office location? I think it is. When looking for retail locations, I’ve identified key metrics in determining the right location; demographics, traffic/traffic counts; ease of access and visibility, competition and zoning. Finding the right location for an office can be just as critical, but owners should take into consideration additional factors before deciding on their office location.

Los Angeles Commercial Real Estate Takes Center Stage
Los Angeles has always been known as a global gateway city for commercial real estate in the United States. But the country's second-largest metropolis has taken the back seat to New York City and San Francisco over the last several years. That is starting to change.
Los Angeles surpassed Manhattan, the country's usual leader, in the first half of the year in deal volume, according to a CBRE report. Though volume decreased year over year in the city, it came in at $13 billion.
Additionally, Los Angeles' downtown is flooded with cranes developing upwards of 100 projects in the area. Plus, the Olympics is coming in 2028, with an expected economic impact of $11 billion, and the city now has two NFL teams after a drought lasting more than two decades.
These developments, as well as an unemployment rate hovering around 4.5%, arguably make Los Angeles one of the most exciting cities in the world to watch in terms of commercial real estate.

The Wall of Maturities
Many people are not aware that most loans for commercial properties are not fully amortizing. Typically they are on a twenty five year amortization schedule, but the loan comes due in 7 or 10 years. What this means is that when the loan comes due, then the owner must pay it off, either through cash reserves, or by refinancing the loan. Most investors do not have the funds to just payoff the loan, so instead look to refinance the balance.
