SAN DIEGO — Ed Colson Jr. and Michael Campbell have opened InvestCore Commercial, a boutique investment advisory firm focused on net leased investments. The new office is located at 3910 West Point Loma in San Diego. The two brokers have more than 20 years of experience in the net-lease investment field. They were both formerly with DTZ / Cassidy Turley. InvestCore Commercial will focus on the acquisition and disposition of retail properties nationwide. Clients include private investors, 1031 and 1033 exchange buyers, developers, franchisees, REITs and institutional investment funds. Though the firm specializes in single-tenant, net-leased properties with high credit and low risk, Campbell believes he and his partner’s expertise can help investors identify deals they may not have otherwise considered.
