What Global Net Lease does

Diversified net-lease REIT owning single-tenant office, industrial and retail buildings leased to corporate tenants in the US and Europe.

Collects rent under long leases where the tenant pays property taxes, insurance and upkeep (a net lease), so most rent turns into cash flow with little spending by the landlord. Income depends on tenants renewing and paying, and on its ability to refinance debt on its properties.
