Investor Insights
Buyers are weighing single-tenant NNN properties against miixed-use options in Houston and Dallas. Cap rates for single-tenant NNN properties range from 5-6.5%, while mixed-use properties offer 6-8% returns. Investors are drawn to the predictability of NNN leases but are wary of tenant concentration risks. Mixed-use properties, on the other hand, provide diversification but often come with higher management complexities. Buyers are walking away from deals with low upside potential, inadequate parking, or environmental concerns. Properties with multiple tenants and a strong demographic profile are in high demand. The ideal investment has a balanced mix of rent growth, occupancy, and limited competition, with a clear path to scaling the portfolio through strategic acquisitions and repositioning.
