228: It’s Still Possible to Get an 8% Yield and Also Appreciation

In this investing environment, it’s difficult to get an 8% to 10% yield on your cash and still achieve appreciation, without taking a lot of risk. With stabilized neighborhood retail, however, and office buildings in certain markets, this is still possible with the right deal, and especially the right operator. Nate Melchior, Principal at Dunton Commercial, manages a portfolio of 70 mid-size retail and office properties throughout the state of Colorado where they’re based. Nate and his partner also own and syndicate properties which generate high, risk-adjusted returns. Since their primary business is property management in these asset classes, the vertical integration enables them to maximize the returns on these properties and gain efficiencies that translate into great profits for their investors.
