Retail & Specialty Properties
Car washes, QSR, automotive, medical office, and other specialty plays
Specialty retail has some of the best cap rates in CRE — if you understand the specific business model. This course covers car washes (tunnel vs. self-serve), quick-service restaurants (QSR), automotive (Autozone, O'Reilly, Firestone), drive-thru coffee, and medical office. Each has unique underwriting quirks.
