Stocks are now solidly in bear market territory and analysts are forecasting a recession.
Regardless of market factors over the rest of the year, we are comfortable operating — and even buying — in the current environment. Why?
- A large margin of safety was taken into account for our property acquisitions. We have always invested with downside outcomes at the forefront of our underwriting.
- We generate a majority of our revenue from established companies with strong financial wherewithal.
- We do not use excessive portfolio leverage. We’re currently leveraged at ~50% of value. Further, our property level loans are fixed rate and long dated, which means we do not have to refinance and face the current challenging credit conditions that this market presents.
- We are more optimistic than ever that we will be able to buy quality properties at discounted prices now that fear has set in amongst market participants.
