What This Means for NNN Investors

Bank Lending Stabilizes After 2023 Volatility

Following the 2023 regional bank crisis (SVB, Signature Bank), NNN lending has stabilized with 42 active originators competing for seasoned portfolio business. Rates have settled in the 6.15-6.40% range for investment-grade credit with 5-10 year fixed terms. Balance sheet consolidation at major banks (JPMorgan, Wells Fargo) means fewer lenders but increased appetite for institutional NNN volume. Relationship banking dynamics favor repeat customers; new market entrants face 50-75 bp pricing premiums.
