Hello from Los Angeles

[Michael Knudsen]

I'm a retail net leased investment broker based in Los Angeles, and I specialize in single and multi-tenant retail properties leased to the national credit "daily needs" tenants ranging from the top grocers (The Albertsons Companies, The Kroger Company/Ralphs, Wal-Mart Neighborhood Center, Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Whole Foods), to the drug stores (Walgreens Boots Alliance/Rite Aid, CVS), to the discount retailers (Dollar Tree/Family Dollar and Dollar General). In terms of market focus, I am working hard to facilitate transactions within the major metro areas of Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, SF Bay Area, Seattle, Las Vegas, Dallas Forth Worth, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Tampa, Orlando and South Florida. I am experienced and well-versed in abstracting complex commercial leases and managing the 1031 exchange process. I am working hard to enhance my knowledge of discounted cash flow modeling for portfolios/complex capital stacks in ARGUS, CMBS securitization, syndication and commercial construction/development.

I'm hoping to expand my network of developers and investors in single and multi-tenant net-leased properties nationwide -- particularly within the target markets listed above.  I hope to transition out of commercial real estate brokerage and into commercial syndication full time within the next year or two -- hopefully right in time to capitalize on the next down cycle!   

I look forward to becoming an active participant in this community, and hopefully putting deals together with some of you in the near future!
