Stonecliff helps investors source, evaluate, and acquire net lease and retail properties aligned with their return goals, risk standards, and timing.

Our acquisition process
Start with the mandate

A focused search begins with what you will—and will not—buy.

We define the assignment around the variables that matter: target yield, tenant credit, lease structure, geography, basis, hold period, capital requirements, and exchange timing. That discipline keeps the search useful and the decisions clear.

01 · ReturnYield and growth targets
02 · CreditTenant and guaranty standards
03 · Real estateMarket and site fundamentals
04 · TimingClosing and exchange windows

From search to closing, one disciplined process.

Our work stays centered on the investment decision—not simply getting another property under contract.

01

Define the acquisition criteria

Translate portfolio goals into a practical buy box that guides sourcing, screening, and negotiations.

02

Source the right opportunities

Review on-market inventory and pursue off-market possibilities through focused nationwide relationships.

03

Underwrite the whole investment

Evaluate tenant credit, lease economics, location, rent, basis, financing, and exit considerations together.

04

Negotiate and execute

Structure the offer, coordinate diligence and capital, manage timing, and drive the transaction through closing.

Investment underwriting

The lease matters. The real estate still matters.

A strong credit name does not make every location a strong investment. For each NNN, single-tenant, or multi-tenant retail acquisition, we look beyond the cap rate to understand what supports the income today—and the property’s options over time.
