Investment Grade sources and acquires credit-tenant and institutional commercial real estate nationwide, in partnership with REIT, private equity, and family-office capital. We build acquisition pipelines around a single discipline: real estate underwritten to the strength of the tenant, the lease, and the residual value of the asset.
We are actively acquiring investment grade and high-credit net lease and institutional assets across all major markets. If you hold capital and a defined mandate, we build the off-market pipeline to match it.
What we acquire
Every mandate is different, but the strongest acquisitions share a common profile. We weigh each opportunity against the criteria that drive durable, financeable income:
- Tenant credit. A focus on investment grade and high-credit tenants, measured against published S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch ratings and underlying financial strength. See our credit tenant ratings framework.
- Lease structure. Net lease (NNN) and ground lease assets with meaningful term remaining, defined escalations, and clean corporate or well-capitalized guarantees.
- Asset quality. Strong real estate fundamentals: location, trade-area demand, building functionality, and residual value if a tenant ever leaves.
- Deal size. Single assets and portfolios, from individual net lease properties to institutional, multi-property programs.
- Geography. Nationwide, with co-listing and broker-of-record partnerships that let us transact in markets beyond our home state.
- Sourcing. A preference for genuinely off-market and lightly marketed opportunities that never reach the major listing portals.
A sourcing model built to your criteria
Investment Grade Acquisitions works as an extension of your acquisitions team. We translate an investment mandate into a precise search, then run advanced brokerage outreach, primary research, and technology-driven sourcing to surface opportunities that match it. The result is a pipeline of off-market deals aligned to your return targets, not a feed of recycled listings.
Our investment grade guide explains the credit framework that anchors this work, and the same discipline applies whether you are building a net lease portfolio or pursuing a single replacement property in a 1031 exchange.
Asset classes
Our acquisitions work spans the commercial real estate spectrum, with the same credit-first underwriting applied to each:

- Healthcare and medical office
- Industrial and logistics
- Multifamily, both market rate and affordable
- Hospitality
- Self-storage
- Build-to-rent communities and workforce housing
- Senior housing
How we work
1. Define
We document your acquisition criteria in detail: tenant credit, asset type, lease profile, return targets, check size, and target markets.
2. Source
We identify and pursue properties that fit, with a deliberate focus on off-market owners and relationships the listing portals never reach.
3. Underwrite
Each opportunity is screened against tenant credit, lease terms, and real estate fundamentals before it reaches your desk, so your team reviews only what genuinely meets the grade.
4. Execute
We support negotiation, due diligence, and closing, and provide ongoing, asset-specific training that keeps your acquisitions team sharp as the pipeline scales.
Why partners work with us
Our clients range from institutional investors and private equity funds to commercial developers and 1031 exchange buyers. They work with us because we generate opportunities other brokers cannot, and because every deal we bring forward is built to the standard our partners set: investments that meet the grade.
If you have capital and a mandate, share your acquisition criteria and we will build the pipeline to match. Start a conversation with our acquisitions team.
