In this episode of the Mogul Insights podcast, Jared Morgan shares the central principle he keeps in mind when making a retail sector purchase with Realty Mogul’s CEO Jilliene Helman. He discusses terms and whether he currently favors long terms left on leases or whether he’s willing to take the risk if there are only a few years left remaining on the lease term. Jared also shares some case studies of recent deals that he has bought and the key tenants of those deals from both a credit perspective and a real estate fundamentals perspective

“You've got to always go back to real estate fundamentals. It's, you know, it's what we do with what we buy. It should be the first and the last metric you're looking at when you're making decisions.” - Jared Morgan
