Qualities they are looking for: Owner’s experience, 5-year track record on the subject property, good average occupancy, quality property, and sponsorship. They will typically provide a max loan of 65% LTV, using an internal cap rate of 6.5%-7.0%.
• Office: Currently not focusing on this product type but will look at it conservatively. Would require a credit tenant with a lease of 10 years or longer. Protective is bullish on medical offices, preferring them to have proximity to a hospital campus. While flexible on MOB, they will be looking for tenant financials and long-term practices.
• Retail: Selective preference for grocery-anchored properties as well as Home Depots, Lowes, Walmart, hobby lobby, etc. Primarily they are looking for essential services and companies that have fared well in 2020.
