TCN Worldwide Market Minutes Podcast TCN Worldwide

Today we talk with Luke Timmis of Signature Associates about sale-leasebacks and how they can be attractive as an alternative method of raising capital. Companies with high-cost fixed assets like property, land, or large expensive equipment find this option advantageous, as they can sell their expensive assets or equipment to a buyer and the buyer can then immediately lease those assets or equipment back to the original owner - thus freeing up cash to the original owner.

Today we talk with Bill Sitar, EVP of Sitar Realty Company, about how the COVID pandemic is affecting the industrial real estate market — particularly in New Jersey.
