The economy is on the rise, and unemployment rates are falling across the Midwest. At the same time, investors are pouring more money into commercial real estate. They realize that commercial real estate is a sound place to store their investment dollars.
It’s little surprise, then, that attendance at the first Midwest Net Lease Summit held by Midwest Real Estate News was high. More than 100 commercial real estate professionals headed to Chicago to listen to speakers who highlighted the top investment opportunities throughout the Midwest, listed the many reasons why this is such a great time to explore the net lease industry and provided strategies for succeeding in today’s busy, but often-challenging, market.
