Net Lease

A new report from the REIS team at Moody's Analytics says that the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the industrial real estate market has yet to surface in the data since leases are locked in and the economic slowdown's impact on trade has thus far been ambiguous.

"U.S. restaurants are being hit particularly hard by widespread stay-at-home guidelines and business closures, which contributed to a near-50% drop year over year in spending at restaurants and bars during April," S&P Market Intelligence stated.

Besides the obvious categories, there are also other net lease winners that are performing well—some of which are even seeing stronger consumer activity than pre-crisis.

Meanwhile, distressed buys in certain categories will start to beckon.

Distressed buyers are there, but the discounts aren't big enough.

In spite of the recent pandemic-caused uncertainty, well-capitalized investors are positioned to provide liquidity to companies as they work toward and through the eventual rebound, writes Gino Sabatini of W. P. Carey.

With some states lifting or relaxing stay-at-home orders in the United States in May, restaurants re-opened to customers hungry for a dine-in experience.

Like many other businesses, independent primary care providers are struggling to stay afloat--just when they may be needed most.
