There has been a lot of discussion and concerns lately over the viability of big box retail as an investment. Many lenders are tightening their underwriting on loans for acquisitions on big box retail, and some have even just stopped lending on them. Should these concerns affect your investment criteria, or is this all just some hype? Overall, I believe that the concerns should be heeded, but like with anything, they should be taken with a grain of salt.
