INVESTMENT GRADE CREDIT TENANT The Lease is guaranteed by The Walgreens Company, an investment grade, net lease tenant with outstanding corporate financials (S&P 'BBB' Credit Rating).

The 1% rule states that a property's monthly rent must be at least 1% of its purchase price in order for the owner to break even. The 2% rule states that a property's monthly rent needs to be at least 2% of its purchase price in order for the owner to make a sustainable profit.

A vacation rental property with a 7.5% cap rate has an annual net operating income that's 7.5% of the home's purchase price. So, for instance, a $250,000 home with an NOI of $18,750 has a 7.5% cap rate.

Market analysts say an ideal cap rate is between five and 10 percent; the exact number will depend on the property type and location. In comparison, a cap rate lower than five percent denotes lesser risk but a more extended period to recover an investment.

Average cap rates range from 4% to 10%. Generally, the higher the cap rate, the higher the risk. A cap rate above 7% may be perceived as a riskier investment, whereas a cap rate below 5% may be seen as a safer bet. If a property has a 10% cap rate, you should expect to recover your investment in about 10 years.

Cap rates typically range anywhere between 4% for a triple-net lease from an investment-grade tenant to 10% or above for riskier investments. Investors taking on higher amounts of risk will expect higher returns, leading to higher cap rates.
