Driving Investor Success Through Dealership Real Estate
Auto Dealership Real Estate as a Premier Investment
Automotive dealership real estate continues to stand out as one of the most resilient asset classes within the net lease investment market. Long-term occupancy, single-tenant operations, and strategically located facilities combine to create durable income streams supported by essential, high-throughput businesses.
At Melton Advisors, we advise private investors, family offices, and select capital partners on the evaluation and acquisition of automotive dealership real estate—typically assets valued at $5 million and above. Our role is advisory-led, focused on underwriting quality, tenant durability, and long-term asset performance rather than transaction volume.
We concentrate on franchised dealerships representing leading automotive brands such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus. These franchises consistently demonstrate strong sales velocity, high customer retention, and sustained OEM support—factors that directly influence tenant stability and long-term lease performance.
Our advisory focus prioritizes image-compliant facilities located in established metro and suburban markets where traffic exposure, land constraints, and zoning limitations support long-term real estate value. By evaluating dealership real estate through both an operational and capital lens, we help investors assess risk, durability, and alignment with long-term portfolio objectives.
More About Our Investor Services

Unlike many other single-tenant net lease (NNN) properties, auto dealerships combine desirable locations with high barriers to entry. These properties are typically positioned along major highways, retail corridors, or near metropolitan centers—locations that retain long-term demand even in shifting markets.
Franchise dealerships, particularly those aligned with top OEMs, represent some of the most secure tenants in commercial real estate. Dealer principals often invest millions of dollars in mandated facility upgrades, further strengthening their commitment to the property.
Key benefits include:
Single-Tenant Stability – Strong dealer principals operating profitable, brand-backed businesses
Long-Term NNN Leases – Passive income with minimal landlord responsibilities
Prime Locations – Highly visible properties in growing, high-density markets
Attractive Yields – Competitive returns compared to other STNL asset classes
Tenant Commitment – Significant OEM-mandated capital investment in facilities
For investors seeking reliable, long-term cash flow and strong residual value, auto dealerships—especially those representing leading import and luxury brands—stand out as one of the most resilient and desirable asset classes.
