Clear Mountain Properties

Clear Mountain Properties deploys capital exclusively within the net-lease real estate sector, targeting single-tenant properties with long-term leases to investment-grade or nationally recognized tenants. The firm focuses on necessity-based retail, healthcare, and industrial assets anchored by operators with durable business models — pharmacies, dollar stores, auto parts suppliers, and medical clinics. This granular approach emphasizes granular credit underwriting and lease structure analysis over broad market timing. The firm's acquisition strategy concentrates on secondary and tertiary markets across the United States, where cap rates typically run 100 to 200 basis points wider than primary coastal markets for equivalent tenant credit. Its portfolio spans the Southeast, Midwest, and Mountain West, with known holdings leased to tenants including Dollar General, Walgreens, and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Clear Mountain typically acquires assets directly, sourcing through long-standing relationships with regional brokers, developers, and 1031 exchange intermediaries. The firm structures its acquisitions as all-cash purchases or with moderate leverage when accretive to yield, holding assets for current income rather than near-term disposition. Clear Mountain operates as a lean, principal-led investment platform. The firm's exact headcount and total portfolio size are not publicly disclosed. No adjacent vehicles — such as a dedicated development arm, separate credit fund, or philanthropic foundation — are known to exist. Its structural differentiator lies in its apparent discipline: a narrow mandate, credit-focused underwriting, and a geographic appetite for markets overlooked by institutional net-lease buyers — a posture closer to a family office's patience than a fund manager's deployment clock.
