Tenant Information & Lease Terms

The average lease term (weighted by NOI) for the twenty-one properties in this portfolio is 15.2 years. All the properties are on net lease terms: fifteen are triple-net (NNN), and six are double-net (NN). The tenants are Walgreens, Tractor Supply Company, Hy-Vee, Hobby Lobby, Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Bio-Life. Four of the tenants (who occupy sixteen of the twenty-one properties) are investment grade rated, and Tractor Supply, Hobby Lobby, and Hy-Vee have no publicly rated debt but have strong financials.

Key Positives

  • This offering provides significant diversification with properties in 10-states and 7-tenants.

  • Sixteen of the twenty-one properties are leased to tenants who are either investment grade or with the lease-backed by investment grade tenants.

  • Scheduled rent increases during the hold and option periods.

  • The average lease term has an 11.7-year weighted average.

Key Risks to Consider

  • Low CAP rate (5.64%) which is near the breakeven CAP rate (5.57%). With a traditional sale, annual rent increases may no make up the load. ExchangeRight plans to implement a portfolio aggregation across their offering to capture the best value for their investor through a REIT sale, merger, or listing.

  • The sale price of each property will reduce as leases terms fall below ten years remaining. There is no guarantee that tenants will renew their lease at the end of the term. The risk is mitigated by a potential sale of the offering before the 10-year mark.

  • The loan is interest-only for the entire term. (Interest-only debt payments are typically preferred by REIT buyers, which may help facilitate ExchangeRight’s exit strategy.)

  • Four of the property’s lease terms expire before the 10-year mark which would negatively affect the sales price of the property.

  • The properties in this offering are in multiple states, which may require investors to file multiple state tax returns.

  • There is a potential conflict of interest because some partners of the Sponsor are also principals of Lighthouse Capital Group.
