In this month’s Sell-Side Q/A session, Garrett Monroe, Sell-Side Managing Director at Calder Capital, sits down with Jack Garrett, Associate at NAI Wisinski of West Michigan, to discuss how real estate ownership and leasing decisions influence business valuations, deal structures, and transaction outcomes.

- How owning vs. leasing impacts business value and buyer perception
- When a sale-leaseback arrangement makes sense
- Why manufacturing, retail, and service businesses face unique real estate considerations
- How interest rates and cap rates are influencing deal activity and investor appetite in 2025
- What’s happening in West Michigan’s real estate market compared to national trends
