Laetitia Laurent knows the value of looking far and wide for a good deal. The Florida-based business owner and her husband had been hunting for a second home for five years before snagging an incredible bargain — in Paris.
She made an offer last January on a 415-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment in the coveted Golden Triangle area between the Champs-Élysées and the Seine, and closed in June 2022.
While the U.S. housing market has been slowing down — thanks to elevated home prices and mortgage rates — there’s been a growing trend of affluent American buyers investing in overseas homes.
“I think we saved probably close to $100,000 between the time we made the offer and the time we closed,” says Laurent, who’ll use the property as a vacation home and a space to host clients for her interior design firm.
But purchasing a residential property isn’t the only way to invest in real estate — nor is becoming a landlord.
Commercial real estate offers the opportunity to invest where communities live, shop, and work. And what better way to start investing in real estate by investing not in private property abroad, but in one of the most attractive forms of U.S. commercial real estate there is: necessity-based retail spaces.
Commercial real estate that services a community’s needs
Just think of your favorite supermarket — the one you visit every week. How long has it been in the same location?
That’s exactly the point.
Unlike private properties or office buildings, necessity-based commercial real estate serves locals with essential goods and services — including large grocery store chains. Meaning that these types of property investments often come with more stable, long-term tenants than other forms of real estate investments.

Investing your money where locals spend theirs
That’s why First National Realty Partners (FNRP) specifically invests in necessity-based commercial real estate, including grocery-anchored shopping centers, workforce premium multi-family housing, and strategically-located industrial centers. With a deep, growing portfolio of top brands, FNRP works with national tenants such as Walmart, CVS, Publix, Kroger, WholeFoods, Target, and more.
When a national brand settles into a commercial property, they’re renting with their long-term growth and stability in mind – which translates into the potential for long-term growth and stability for investors.
Commercial real estate: 25 years (and counting) of outperforming the S&P
According to multiple sources, commercial real estate has been outperforming the S&P 500 over a 25-year period. But like most forms of real estate investments, commercial real estate has traditionally been reserved for society’s most wealthy.
But thanks to the team of experts behind First National Realty Partners, accredited investors can now get access to exciting opportunities in the necessity-based, commercial real estate space.
