by Sarah Daniels May 4, 2022

Multifamily and industrial may be the hottest product types for investors in today’s current market, but Jeff Conover and Shaun Riley, managing principals at Irvine, Calif.-based Faris Lee Investments, believe retail presents the optimum opportunity for achieving strong cash-on-cash yields for investors. “It comes down to one thing,” explains Conover. “Higher yield.” Triple-net leases also mean expenses get passed down to the tenant.
