The tenant pays the property tax bill, insurance, repairs, short and long term deferred maintenance on all building systems directly -- you collect a rent check and stash some of the proceeds in a capital reserve -You can still get good deals in the 6-7 cap range in strong MSAs with healthy population and job growth rates -Attractive financing available -- you can still get 7-year fixed money around 4.25%, 25-30 year am, and 10-year money at 4.5%, 25-30, for good quality deals Pitfalls to look out for:-Avoid franchisee deals like the plague -Ensure that the guaranty language is rock solid and that the parent company's balance sheet and operating history is strong -Ensure that your lender will accept a very high property insurance deductible -- many of these big national companies are effectively self-insured in this regard -Avoid deals in which the tenant is paying an above market rental rate that's out of line with competing retail space in the immediate vicinity -Try to focus on "daily needs" tenants that sell perishable goods which will make them less susceptible to "the Amazon effect," at least in the short term.
