Back with us for Part 2 is Nicole Daeila of MAG Capital Partners.
In this episode, we cut through the surface-level talk and get to the real mechanics behind sale-leasebacks, food manufacturing real estate, and why boring, essential businesses might be the most durable investments in the commercial sector today.
Nicole breaks down:
🌟 Why industrial vacancy rates matter more than headlines
🌟 The structure behind MAG’s 20-year triple net lease model
🌟 How her team secures cash-flowing properties before taking investor capital
🌟 What separates MAG from large-scale institutional players despite being a “smaller” shop at $1.3B AUM
🌟 And how investors—especially those with retirement accounts—are quietly shifting into tangible, tax-advantaged assets backed by the American supply chain
If you’re still trying to understand the difference between commercial and residential real estate—this episode lays it out clearly. And if you already understand the space, you’ll want to hear how Nicole’s team is moving with precision while others are still chasing headlines.
