Closed · Single-tenant net lease · Janesville, Wisconsin · September 2026
Closed escrow on a bite-sized Jiffy Lube in Janesville, Wisconsin. Multiple offers. Under contract fast. Closed clean. After we went under contract, the calls kept coming from buyers who wanted a second shot. There wasn't one.
What happened
After we went under contract, my phone kept ringing. Buyers. Buyers' agents. "Is it still available?" "Can I get a backup position?" "What if I come in higher?"
No. It's gone. And I'll tell you exactly why you missed it.
Why it moved
A strong corporate guarantee. A 500+ unit operator. A main-and-main corner in a growing city. 6.75% day one with 2% annual bumps. A property that looks as good in person as it does in the OM. And it was priced right on day one.
Yes, it's a buyer's market. That doesn't mean every deal is a discount. It means the bad deals sit and the good ones still trade. When a deal is priced correctly, the market doesn't need you to negotiate. It needs you to decide.
Pay the price. Get the property. Or don't, and don't be upset with me when it's gone.
The deal
Single-tenant net lease. Listed, marketed and sold by Centennial Advisers to a buyer who moved like they meant it. Pricing available on request to qualified investors.
Hat tip
Max Mantey at Brisky Net Lease brought a buyer that moved like they meant it. That's how correctly priced deals get done: a broker on the other side who knows what a good one looks like and doesn't let their client talk themselves out of it.
