You've probably been driving down the road in some suburb and noticed that an old piece of land is now being turned into a subdivision. Have you ever wondered how that happens? Today you'll learn how. Brandon Cobb was a former medical device sales rep before becoming a fund manager and land development coach at LearnLandDevelopment.com. His firm HBG Capital manages $22 Million of land development annually. He has been featured on the covers of REI Wealth and Realty 411 Magazines and has been published in Forbes magazine.  He joins Roger today to discuss the entire process of developing land from raw dirt to finished houses.

In 1996, fresh out of high school, Ben Swanson teamed up with his older brother Chris and their friends Eric Weddle and Jonathan Cargill to start a record label. The label began in the Swanson's house. Their first release was that of fellow North Dakotan, June Panic, but the partnership that set them on their spiritual path was with Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia and, later, Magnolia Electric Co. Reliable legend has it that when the Secretly boys originally reached out to Molina, he told them they could put his music out on the condition that they show up at his performance in a NYC record store. Their subsequent road trip changed indie rock history. And it all started, and continues, right here in Bloomington, the town where everything is better than fine and nothing can go wrong.

This week on the Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, hosts Brian Wickert and Tim Holdmann break down why the interest rate you get quoted matters far less than what you actually pay to get it. They walk through real current rate scenarios — comparing a lower rate with hefty discount points against a higher rate with minimal costs — and show how the “cheaper-sounding” rate can actually cost more over time. They also revisit their popular “Rate Buster” buydown option and share a client story of stacking successive one-year rate reductions to keep payments low while waiting for the market to improve.In the market update segment, Brian shares fresh southeastern Wisconsin home sales data, noting June 2026 hit a four-year high for closed sales, with both June and July posting year-over-year price gains — proof the local market remains active even as national headlines suggest otherwise.Finally, Tim shares a cautionary real-world story about buyer agent commissions since the 2024 industry changes, explaining how a mismatch between a buyer's agency agreement and what a seller agreed to cover almost cost his clients an unexpected $5,000 at closing — and how it got resolved.Practical, numbers-driven insight for anyone buying, selling, or financing a home in southeastern Wisconsin.

In this episode of the Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, Brian Wickert and David Wickert explain what the Federal Reserve's latest decision means for mortgage rates and why long-term rates can still move even when the Fed leaves its short-term rate unchanged.They also share a real-world example of how a stronger pre-approval, an appraisal waiver, verified income and assets, and a fast closing timeline helped a buyer present a more competitive offer. Brian and David discuss Accunet Mortgage's $10,000 seller guarantee and how thoughtful loan preparation can give both buyers and sellers greater confidence.The conversation also covers options for homeowners who want to buy before selling, including home equity lines of credit, larger down payments, loan recasting, and temporary payment strategies.Finally, David outlines several non-qualified mortgage options. These include asset-depletion loans for borrowers with substantial savings but limited taxable income, alternative documentation for self-employed borrowers, and debt-service-coverage-ratio loans for real estate investors.Throughout the episode, Brian and David focus on practical ways to structure financing around each borrower's goals, rather than forcing every situation into the same standard mortgage approach. It is a useful overview for homebuyers, homeowners, self-employed borrowers, retirees, and investors planning their next move.

The traditional path to homeownership was once straightforward: rent an apartment, save for a down payment, buy a home and settle in. Today, that journey looks very different. Rising costs, shifting priorities and a growing demand for flexibility have created new opportunities for residents who want the space and lifestyle of a home without the immediate commitment of ownership.  Brett Forney, managing broker of Prim Realty and managing partner of Prim Properties, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss how Parkland Companies is creating solutions for those changing needs. From operating successful build-to-rent communities to launching an in-house brokerage, the company’s approach creates a seamless path for residents, whether they choose to rent, buy or transition between the two.  Build-to-Rent Demands a Different Mindset  Build-to-rent communities may resemble traditional neighborhoods, but operating them requires a very different approach than managing apartments or selling homes. With fewer homes, tighter operating margins and individual maintenance needs, every detail matters. Residents also bring different expectations. Many are living in a single-family home for the first time and need guidance on everything from smart home features to seasonal maintenance.  “You’re teaching residents how to live in a home instead of managing them in a unit,” Forney said.  Resident expectations have also reshaped the industry. While homeowners often make upgrades over time, renters expect a polished, move-in-ready experience from day one.  “Renters are far pickier than owners,” Forney said. “When you’re renting, it’s like leasing a luxury car. I want that luxury from day one.”  Meeting Residents Where They Are  Longer career transitions, rising homeownership costs and the desire for maintenance-free living have shifted priorities for many households. Rather than committing to a mortgage and unexpected repair bills, residents value the flexibility of professionally managed communities where maintenance is only a text away.  That shift is reflected across Prim Properties’ portfolio, where average household income exceeds $100,000 per home. These residents aren’t renting because they have no other option. They’re renting because it offers the flexibility and convenience they want today.  Communities like Sugarloaf Landing and the newly opening Sugarloaf Crest in Lawrenceville further support that lifestyle. The neighboring communities share amenities while offering walkability to schools, grocery stores and everyday conveniences, creating a neighborhood experience that’s increasingly difficult to find.  Creating a Seamless Path to Homeownership  As Prim Properties built relationships with residents across its communities, a common question emerged: What happens when renters are ready to buy? Many residents wanted to stay connected to the Parkland Communities experience but needed guidance on the next step. That opportunity led to the launch of Prim Realty, creating a direct path from renting to homeownership.  “Whether our residents want to rent from us forever or rent for a short time until they purchase, whichever direction their American dream goes, we’re going to be there to help their dreams become a reality,” Forney said.  Prim Realty is also introducing programs designed to make homeownership more attainable, including assistance with closing costs and down payments, along with financing partnerships that may offer qualified buyers options such as 100% financing, no private mortgage insurance and competitive interest rates.  The brokerage’s first communities include Parkside at Grove Landing in Warner Robins, along with upcoming communities in Snellville and Stonecrest, expanding Parkland Communities’ growing portfolio of attainable for-sale housing across Georgia.  Growing With Purpose  As Prim Properties and Prim Realty continue expanding, growth remains rooted in a simple philosophy: serve residents and communities with excellence. Over the next two years, Parkland Communities expects more than 3,000 homes to be occupied or under construction while continuing to grow its property management, brokerage and construction teams. Yet success isn’t measured solely by the number of homes delivered.  “I want people, when they think of Parkland and Prim, to know that we’re different,” Forney said. “We’re not just looking for the fast dollar, but we are the helpers.”  That commitment shapes everything from customer service to community partnerships, reinforcing a mission to provide quality housing while helping more families achieve their version of the American dream.  To learn more about Prim Properties, Prim Realty and Parkland Communities, listen to the full episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio or visit primprop.com and parklandco.com.  About Prim Properties & Prim Realty  Prim Properties specializes in the management of build-to-rent communities, delivering customized leasing, operations and resident services designed specifically for the BTR market. Rather than treating BTR as traditional multifamily housing, Prim Properties focuses on creating neighborhoods and long-term resident experiences.   Prim Realty, Parkland Communities’ fully licensed real estate brokerage, oversees the sales and marketing of the company’s growing portfolio of for-sale communities across metro Atlanta. Together, Prim Properties and Prim Realty provide an integrated platform supporting both professionally managed rental communities and new home sales.

The Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show: Rate Hikes, Rock Solid Offers, and a Maternity Leave CurveballRates ticked up this week thanks to renewed tension in the Strait of Hormuz, so Brian Wickert and Tim Holdmann tackle the question every buyer eventually asks: lock now, or float and hope? Their answer comes down to one simple gut-check question that cuts through the anxiety.From there, Brian shares a live, in-progress deal: a first-time buyer in her 50s, a giant down payment, and a scramble to out-position a big bank's lackluster pre-approval with an appraisal waiver and a Rock Solid Guaranteed Pre-Approval — all before an open house the next morning.Tim brings the drama with a maternity-leave-to-part-time employment switch that nearly torpedoed a closing, plus an update on the VA buyer navigating a marital settlement agreement deadline to get his offer in before the weekend.Along the way: why “the same big bank downtown” isn't always the flex your accountant buddy thinks it is, why asking a client the same question twice is a cardinal sin, and why sometimes you just have to move forward without 100% certainty — because houses don't wait.

As the real estate industry becomes increasingly specialized, many brokerages focus on a single segment of the market. However, a growing number of firms are embracing a more comprehensive approach, creating strategic partnerships that allow them to serve clients throughout the real estate lifecycle.  This week on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio, Michelle Hewell, owner and broker of Foundation Partners Realty, joins host Carol Morgan to discuss the firm's brokerage model designed to bridge the gap between traditional real estate services and the evolving needs of builders, developers, investors and homebuyers.  Relationships Remain the Foundation of Real Estate Success  While technology continues to reshape the industry, one truth remains unchanged: long-term success depends on trust, communication and consistency.  “I’ve learned that this is ultimately a people business,” said Hewell. “Whether you’re working with first-time homebuyers, developing a subdivision or helping an agent build a career, those relationships matter. They matter the most.”  The rise of artificial intelligence, data analytics and digital marketing is transforming the homebuilding and real estate industries, but professionals who prioritize relationships and maintain strong reputations may be better positioned to adapt to changing market conditions.  The Importance of Strategic Partnerships  Today’s real estate transactions often extend far beyond buying and selling homes. Builders need land acquisition expertise, investors seek market intelligence and property owners require guidance on development opportunities.  “We built this as a full-service real estate brokerage around collaboration and strategic partnerships,” said Hewell. “Our goal is to provide expertise across the entire real estate lifecycle, not just one transaction.”  This integrated approach reflects a broader industry trend as brokerages increasingly seek to provide comprehensive solutions rather than transactional services alone.  Technology Creates New Opportunities in Land Acquisition  Growing competition for developable land across Georgia is driving builders and developers to rely more heavily on technology to identify opportunities and evaluate potential sites.  Through its partnership with Atlas Group, Foundation Partners Realty uses advanced geographic information systems (GIS) mapping technology to analyze land opportunities throughout the state. These tools can provide detailed information about a property’s characteristics, development potential and surrounding infrastructure within minutes.  For smaller builders, access to sophisticated land analysis tools can help level the playing field in an increasingly competitive development environment.  Exemption Plats Offer a Path Forward for Smaller Builders  Exemption plats have emerged as a valuable strategy for smaller builders entering the market, helping offset lengthy entitlement timelines and rising development costs. Unlike traditional subdivision approvals, which often require extensive engineering, infrastructure planning and lengthy approval timelines, exemption plats allow builders to move projects forward more quickly and with lower upfront investment requirements.  “That’s a really great opportunity for a new builder or a smaller builder to get started,” said Hewell. “It’s not the huge amount of investment that you’re going to put forth on a 50-lot neighborhood.”  Smaller-scale projects can provide builders with opportunities to bring new housing inventory to market while reducing risk and accelerating timelines.  How Faith and Timing Shape Real Estate Leadership  Launching a business in any market requires confidence and, for many entrepreneurs, a willingness to trust the timing of opportunities as they arise. As Georgia’s real estate industry continues to evolve, firms that combine strong relationships, strategic partnerships and specialized expertise may be uniquely positioned to serve the increasingly complex needs of builders, developers and consumers.  “A lot of people call me a risk taker,” said Hewell. “I don’t think I’m a risk taker. I think my faith is so strong it’s unshakable.”  Learn more about Foundation Partners Realty at foundationpartnersrealty.com.  About Foundation Partners Realty  Foundation Partners Realty is a full-service real estate brokerage headquartered in downtown Buford, Georgia. Founded by industry veteran Michelle Hewell, the firm provides residential, commercial, luxury, land acquisition, development consulting and builder services throughout Georgia. Through strategic partnerships, including its collaboration with Atlas Group, Foundation Partners Realty offers comprehensive real estate solutions designed to serve clients across every stage of the real estate lifecycle.

The Andrew Gurgitano Memorial Golf Outing is an annual Westchester County community event that beautifully honors the lasting legacy of Andrew Gurgitano. Held on June 22, 2026, at the beautiful Knollwood Country Club, the routine gathering features a full day of golf, a barbecue, and shared camaraderie. Andrew was a warm, caring, kind-hearted person known for his incredible smile and easygoing spirit. Tragically, he passed away from natural causes at the young age of 16. His deepest passions were his family, his friends, and his profound love for the game of baseball. Both on and off the field, he perfectly exemplified hard work, determination, integrity, and sportsmanship. His positive energy and enthusiasm inspired not only his teammates, but all who were lucky enough to know him, ensuring that his memory continues to make a meaningful impact through this wonderful community event.Westchester Talk Radio was there, and host Andrew Castellano spoke with Joe Cosentino, owner of Westchester Realty Consultants / Morris Park Realty/ Cosentino Realty Group. Joe discussed his own podcast, Coffee with Joe, before sharing real estate wisdom with Andrew. He described the local market (covering areas like the Bronx and Westchester) as highly competitive with low inventory, advising buyers to have their finances ready. In contrast, he noted that the Florida market is currently experiencing a surplus of inventory.

In this episode of the Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, David Wickert and Tim Holdmann dig into the strategies that help home buyers win in a competitive market—without taking on reckless risk.Tim shares the story of clients who lost five offers in desirable Madison neighborhoods before asking for help. He walks through the three levers that transformed their next offer: modifying the inspection contingency with gap coverage, waiving the appraisal contingency (and why that's far less scary than buyers assume), and committing to a fast two-week loan commitment. The key insight? Sellers value certainty above almost everything, and a smart buyer helps the seller tell the story they want to tell.David then explains how he quarterbacked a bridge loan for an elderly couple moving from a paid-off family home into a Waukesha County condo—even though Accunet wasn't doing the long-term financing. From coordinating the bridge lender to looping in the financial advisor, David acted as the “wedding planner” who keeps every piece moving toward an stress-free closing.

David Bujnicki, senior vice president of investor relations and strategy at Kimco Realty(NYSE: KIM), joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the significant changes that have occurred across the investor relations landscape. The importance of understanding your audience, leveraging technology, educating and managing expectations, and soliciting feedback were among the main themes addressed.Bujnicki described how the focus of investor relations has shifted from net asset value and portfolio management to earnings growth and how companies are managing their cost of capital. He attributed this to the continued rise of passive investors and hedge funds that are more short-term focused. He emphasized the importance of adapting IR strategies to cater to the evolving needs of these investors.Furthermore, educating investors on operational fundamentals has become crucial, Bujnicki said. He noted that while Kimco's operating fundamentals are at their best, it is essential to help investors understand why earnings growth may not always reflect that reality. Informing investors about the longer timelines involved in real estate transactions can help manage these expectations more effectively, he noted.Chapters: 00:00 Flexible Disclosures00:28 Welcome to REIT Report00:53 IR Changes Decade01:25 From NAV to Earnings03:32 Educating Investors Today05:25 Capital Allocation Levers06:39 Staying Long Term08:06 Pivoting in Crises08:44 AI in Investor Relations10:57 Investor Feedback Loop12:59 Future IR Priorities14:12 Symposium Takeaways15:58 Closing Thanks

Small Town, Deep Roots: Amy Eckert on Building Gideon Realty in Marion, IllinoisJennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town, Big Business from downtown Marion, Illinois, introduce sponsors, and interview Amy Eckert of Gideon Realty. A lifelong Marion resident, Eckert shares her family background, memories of Marion's downtown-to-mall-to-downtown shift, and her path from part-time jobs and 10.5 years in local radio to homeschooling her sons for 16–17 years after feeling called to do so. She describes leadership experience in multi-level marketing, earning her real estate license in 2017 with mentor Joanna Farrell, later obtaining a managing broker license, and in May of the prior year launching the intentionally small “boutique” Gideon Realty after guidance from Ethos and attorney Martin Parsons. Eckert emphasizes personalized, local, relationship-based service, education for buyers and sellers, and her trademarked tagline, “Small Town, Deep Roots,” and shares how to contact her via Facebook or 618-922-8820.Recorded at EThOs Small Business Incubator and Co-working Spaces in Marion, Illinois.https://members.ethosmarion.org/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTOur guest: https://www.facebook.com/RealEstateSouthernIllinois/

This week on The Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, Brian Wickert and Tim Holdman break down a noisy week of rate headlines—the Iran conflict MOU, new Fed Chair Warsh's first FOMC meeting, and the “dot plot” predictions—and explain why all the angst added up to a big hot cup of nothing.The heart of the episode: when a home equity line of credit can quietly sabotage your future refinance. Brian and Tim walk through real client stories showing how an open HELOC triggers pricing penalties, eats into your equity, and requires lender subordination—plus the smart move of opening a HELOC before you need it to skip a costly bridge loan.They also cover VA versus conventional strategy for a veteran buyer, the truth behind “0%” vendor financing, and how custom loan terms interact with low-loan-balance pricing. Finally, a sharp look at when not to refinance when you've already paid points.

The bond market has heard "the war is pretty much over" about thirty-seven times now, and honestly, it's stopped flinching. David Wickert and Tim Holdmann open the show by unpacking why headlines move the market less than they used to, and why homebuyers aren't sitting around waiting for a treaty to get signed.Then they dig into the June surge. School's out, summer's the busiest stretch in real estate, and the calls are pouring in: appraisal gap coverage, inspection contingencies, how fast we can deliver loan commitment. David shares a newly married couple, fresh off the honeymoon and stupendously qualified, and the conversation that matters more than the numbers — buying for who you're becoming, not just who you are today.Tim walks through a clean rental purchase using a DSCR loan, where anticipated rent does the heavy lifting, plus when asset depletion is the right tool to reach for. And David closes with the unromantic side of owning a home: an unmarried couple, two properties, and no legal mechanism to untangle it. The lesson? Get it in writing.

On this week's episode presented by Busey Bank, I'm sitting down with Jill Butler, the founder and CEO of RedKey Realty Leaders, an independent brokerage based right here in St. Louis that has carved out a unique position in a crowded and often commoditized industry. Jill has built a business that's deeply intentional about who they bring in, how they show up, and what they stand for—and in an industry where top performers can often go anywhere, that kind of clarity matters. In this conversation, we dig into how she's built that culture from the ground up, why she's leaned into in-office connection at a time when many have gone remote, how she thinks about attracting and retaining top talent, and how she's evaluating growth—both organically and through potential mergers and acquisitions. We also talk about her role in the broader St. Louis community and how initiatives like her upcoming Elevating St. Louis event are helping extend the RedKey brand beyond just transactions. This one's really about building something intentional—and building it to last. Let's roll...

This week on the Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, Brian and David Wickert break down a surprisingly strong May jobs report—roughly double the expected new jobs—and why good news for the economy spooked both the bond and stock markets. With the Fed funds futures markets now pricing in real odds of a rate increase by year-end, the guys put today's mortgage rates in perspective: a 30-year fixed around 6.49% feels worse only because of the “recency effect.” Dial back a few years to when rates were 7.99% and today looks pretty good.Then it's story time from the front lines of southeastern Wisconsin's still-hot housing market. Brian shares a tale of a one-bath, one-car Brookfield home that drew 30 showings but zero opening offers—and what happened next. They dig into the rise of waived home inspections (one big brokerage reports 56% of accepted offers skip them), why sellers might actually want buyers to inspect, and some example CYA addendums protecting agents.Plus: a real client wins with an escalator clause and an appraisal waiver—and the reading-comprehension showdown over netting out buyer-agent commissions. The recurring lesson? Know how to read.

In this episode, Chris sits down with Josh Zegen, Co-Founder & Managing Principal of Madison Realty Capital, a $25 billion real estate private credit firm he started with his college roommate in 2004. They dig into how he built one of the largest private lenders in the country starting from a desk in his dad's law office - and why he still thinks of himself as a businessman first and a real estate guy second. Josh got into lending almost by accident. Laid off from a VC firm at 26 when the dot-com bubble burst, he took one mortgage deal nobody else would do, saw how fragmented and non-institutional the market was, and built a fund around it before "private credit" meant anything. Chris and Josh go deep on surviving '08, reinventing the business when capital dried up, and how Madison grew into a platform that now lends to other lenders. They discuss: How Josh went from a laid-off VC associate living back home to founding a $25B firm Surviving '09 - including giving up 50% of the company for a $50M anchor that collapsed at the last minute Why he built servicing, asset management, and capital raising in-house instead of outsourcing The $10B back-leverage book that makes Madison the lender to ~100 other private lenders The $720M single loan behind the largest office-to-residential conversion in NYC Where he sees real estate credit headed - and why he stays away from office, data centers, and anything "binary" Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:52) Rate Volatility and a Stalled CRE Investment Market(09:44) What's Getting Done Today: Construction, Conversions, and Recaps(18:49) Founding Madison: Seeing Opportunity in a Fragmented Market(25:19) The GFC: Gating Investors and Going Vertically Integrated(31:26) The $50M REIT Deal That Nearly Ended Madison—And the Door It Opened(44:28) Why Borrowers Now Prefer Private Credit Over Banks(47:17) In-House Loan Servicing as Madison's Competitive Edge(49:06) The Back Leverage Business: Lending to Private Lenders(55:35) Capital Markets Expansion and Staying True to Real Estate(1:05:55) The Pfizer Deal, Lifecycle Lending, and Madison's Road Ahead(1:15:06) Staying Relevant by Constantly Innovating and Looking for Acquisition Opportunities ----- Presented by Airshare: Trusted across the country for fractional ownership, jet cards, charter, and aircraft management, Airshare gives you a smarter way to fly private - over 25 years of experience, operating their own fleet, with the top safety ratings in the industry.

As real estate values reset and cap rates widen, net lease is back in focus—but the approach has changed. Ron Kamdem and Hank D'Alessandro explain.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ron Kamdem: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ron Kamdem, Head of U.S. REITs and Commercial Real Estate Research. Hank D'Alessandro: And I'm Hank D'Alessandro, Managing Director on Morgan Stanley's Real Estate Investing Team and Vice Chairman of Private Credit. Ron Kamdem: Today: a part of real estate that's changing fast and drawing fresh attention from investors. Net lease investing. It's Friday, May 8th at 10am in New York. You might not think you invest in net leases. But there's a good chance you do, especially if you have money in a pension fund or another income generating vehicle. Net leases are the kinds of long-term lease assets that can help generate steady, predictable income. They are no longer a sleepy corner of the real estate market. In fact, they're changing in some really interesting ways. Ron Kamdem: So, Hank, for listeners who know the term but may not know the structure, what exactly is net lease investing? And why does it tend to come up more often when markets get more uncertain? Hank D'Alessandro: At a high level, net lease investing is typically associated with long-term leases that can offer durable income streams; typically growing streams, which is why it's often seen as a more defensive part of real estate investing. We see that when investors are thinking more carefully about geopolitical risks, market volatility or say portfolio resilience, this durable cash flow derived from mission critical assets and long lease durations with fixed annual rent bumps can become especially attractive to investors. Also, with higher inflation likely, net leases are generally insulated from increases in expenses given these are the responsibility of tenants. But what's important today is the net lease is broader than many people realize, both in terms of the property types involved and the range of investors participating in the space. Ron Kamdem: Let's stay on that idea of a broader market for a moment, because one of the biggest shifts has been the growing role of private capital in the space. What are you seeing there and why does it matter? Hank D'Alessandro: Well, listen, Ron, there's no question. The role of private capital has grown substantially, including through joint ventures and public real estate vehicles. That matters because it tells you that the sector is attracting a wider range of investors than it has in the past, such as pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds. And retail investors are increasingly investing either through traditional locked up funds or through semi-liquid funds. But it can also change the competitive landscape and can influence how capital gets allocated across the opportunity set. Thus, one's approach going forward from an analysis perspective will need to evolve. More broadly, it's a sign that net lease is being viewed as highly relevant in today's market, not just as a legacy category within real estate. Ron Kamdem: And that's an important distinction that you make right there, because not all investors are approaching these assets the same way. So, when private capital comes into the space, what separates their underwriting approach from another? And we hear all the time about private credit. How does that play into this? Hank D'Alessandro: Well, Ron, you know, as we discussed previously, the competitive landscape is changing and therefore underwriting is absolutely critical in this part of the cycle. And so, we believe underwriting both tenant credit, of course, is very important. But we equally analyze the real estate underwriting because we believe that real estate can be a real differentiator over time – both in terms of returns and risk profile. We think that strong real estate underwriting with strong tenant credit underwriting, both enhances returns over time and reduces risks. So, therefore, that matters a lot. We also believe that by focusing equally on the real estate underwriting, you get a fuller picture of the risk and value, especially as net lease expands into newer property types. It is an easy nuance to miss, but we believe this distinction is becoming much more important differentiator in how investors assess opportunities in the sector today. And I believe that the most successful managers will do a good job underwriting both tenant credit and real estate.So, Ron, for a long time, many investors thought of net lease primarily as a retail story. How much has that changed? Ron Kamdem: Well, that's changed quite a bit. If I take you back 20 to 30 years ago when you thought of net lease, you thought of a convenience store that's, you know, 5,000 to 10,000 square feet. But today, that opportunity has expanded well beyond retail and there's much more attention now on industrial assets. And even increasing discussions around areas like data centers. I'll give you an example. Realty income made its entry into the data center vertical in November 2023 with a $200 million build to suit JV. That shift matters because it shows net lease evolving alongside where demand and capital are moving. It also means the sector is becoming more connected to larger structural trends in the economy, rather than being viewed through one traditional lens. At the same time as the mix broadened, investors have to be selective because not every new category will have the same long-term profile that we're used to.So, as investors look at some of these newer areas, where do you see the best opportunities, Hank? And where would you be more cautious? Hank D'Alessandro: So first, opportunities. The industrial segment has clearly become a major area of focus. This sector benefits from growing e-commerce penetration fueled by AI, reshoring of manufacturing, and increased defense spending. The ability to acquire mission critical distribution centers in top tier logistics markets or advanced manufacturing assets in innovation clusters is particularly appealing in today's macro backdrop. Another area that we find very compelling is medical outpatient buildings where the aging demographics can support long-term demand. So, we have great conviction on both of those. Now, turning to area where we're more cautious. There's been a lot of attention on data centers, you know, as you previously mentioned. But that's an area where investors really need to think carefully about long-term durability. Questions around obsolescence, technological change and whether certain assets fit a true buy and hold strategy are very relevant and need to be considered carefully by investors. So, maybe to sum up, the opportunity set is definitely broadening, but selectivity in terms of location, asset type and asset specifications remain essential. So, Ron, the idea of linking property types back to long-term trends feels especially important right now. How do you connect this conversation to the key secular themes Morgan Stanley research is tracking this year. AI and tech diffusion. The future of energy, the multipolar world, and societal impacts. And can you offer a few examples? Ron Kamdem: There's a couple ways that net lease connects to these broader themes. The first, which is probably the most obvious, is technology diffusion and the future of energy comes through in areas such as datacenters, and that's been a key focus for public investors. When you think about societal change – that's relevant for sectors tied to demographics like medical outpatient buildings, where you know people go get different services. And multipolar world theme matters because deglobalization and geopolitical fragmentation. Or influencing how investors think about resilience, location, and portfolio construction, which is driving incremental demand for industrial real estate linked to supply chain shifts and defense spending. So, this is no longer just a sector evolving on its own, it's becoming more closely tied to these macro issues, shaping investment decisions more broadly. And once you widen the lens to that macro backdrop, the conversation naturally becomes more global. In fact, we saw realty income now generates 19 percent of rents across nine European countries with more than $15 billion invested since 2019. Given this, Hank, how should investors think about net lease and adjacent opportunities outside of the U.S.? Hank D'Alessandro: The global angle is clearly becoming more relevant. There's growing interest in Europe and the U.K. And one area that comes to mind in this context is retail parks, where rents have reset, yields are wider, and tenant resilience has improved. Thinking more broadly, international markets can give investors a wider set of ways to think about real estate opportunities tied to the same themes that we've discussed. And add to diversification, as macro drivers continue to diverge and geopolitical risks remain elevated. Even when structures or sector exposures differ from the U.S., which undoubtedly they will, the bigger point is that investors are increasingly valuing opportunities through a global lens. Ron Kamdem: So, if we pull all this together, what looks like a simple-income oriented category is actually becoming much more nuanced. As we wrap up, Hank, what's the main message you want investors to take away about net lease today? Hank D'Alessandro: You know, I believe the main takeaway is that net lease remains relevant because of its defensive qualities, and predictable contractual cash flows derived from long-term leases. But the story is becoming more nuanced, requiring a granular focus on the credit, and importantly, the underlying real estate. With real estate values down 20 to 25 percent from peak levels, replacement cost has elevated, which is keeping supply muted and net lease cap rates wide relative to the last 10 years. This is a very attractive entry point for investors. Private capital is playing a bigger role, no question. The asset mix is shifting beyond retail, towards areas like industrial. Investors are actively debating the long-term role of newer categories such as advanced manufacturing and data centers. There are selective opportunities to think more globally, which is exciting. Ron Kamdem: Great. That's very helpful. Hank, thanks for taking the time to talk. Hank D'Alessandro: Great speaking with you, Ron. Ron Kamdem: And thanks for listening.
