Durable Income. Predictable Growth. Lower Risk.
At Sentinel, our thesis is simple: in an environment defined by volatility, investors deserve income they can count on. Net lease real estate provides exactly that—long-term, contractual cash flow with the added protection of real estate collateral.
Unlike many real estate strategies that rely on aggressive rent growth, redevelopment, or heavy capital expenditures, net lease delivers:
Reduced NOI Drag – With tenants responsible for most operating costs, capital expenditure risk is minimized. This translates into more distributable cash flow and less volatility.
Consistency & Predictability – Long-term leases (8+ years WALT) provide stable, recurring income through uncertain cycles.
Contractual NOI Growth – Built-in rent escalations ensure that income doesn’t just hold steady—it grows.
Downside Protection – Assets are acquired below replacement cost with strong tenant credit and operational necessity.
Why This Matters Now
Cap Rate Expansion = Opportunity
Yields have reset higher across all asset classes, creating a rare multi-year buying window to acquire high-quality properties at attractive valuations.
The Suburban Shift
Businesses and talent are moving to suburban markets in the Midwest, Mountain West, and South. We target the essential-use office, retail, and industrial assets that support this migration.
Private Credit Alternative
Net lease real estate functions like secured credit—contractual payments with collateral backing—but with the added benefits of tax efficiency, inflation hedging, and upside potential.
Acquisition Criteria
We focus on single-tenant, mission-critical properties in the $6MM–$60MM range—assets too large for most 1031 investors and often overlooked by institutions. Our criteria include:
Long-term, net leases with annual rent increases
