He represents tenants, owners, sellers, buyers and investors. | Austin metro industrial vacancy | **~15–16% (near record)** | | --- | --- | | South Austin flex asking rent | **~$19/SF NNN** | | Southeast submarket vacancy | **~25–28%** | | Metro industrial cap rate | **~7.5%** | Metro and submarket figures from third-party reports, Q1–Q3 2026. Sources below. ## What's happening in Onion Creek A 2026 buyer caps month-to-month or below-market income at 8% or more, because the buyer has to do the leasing work. Re-sign tenants at South Austin's about $19/SF NNN on three-to-five-year terms and the same building can price near a 7 cap on higher income. On a 30,000 SF park, that difference can be seven figures. ## What it means for owners Decide whether to sell as-is or stabilize first. Stabilizing takes about 12 months and some risk; selling as-is gives the upside to the buyer. Compare a direct principal offer against a broker opinion of value for the stabilized building. ## What it means for tenants Older parks often have the most flexible landlords. Ask for longer terms in exchange for improvements. ## What it means for investors This is where the value-add lives: month-to-month leases, below-market rents and deferred maintenance in a pocket with real demand. Owners managing apartments or other management-heavy property nearby are also natural 1031 sellers into net-leased flex. ## Onion Creek: common questions ### I own a small flex park with half the tenants month-to-month. Sell now or fix it first? Month-to-month leases are a discount on your price. A buyer caps that income at 8%+. Re-sign tenants on 3–5 year terms at market and the building prices near a 7 cap on more income. ### Can I trade a management-heavy property for something passive? A 1031 exchange into single-tenant NNN flex is a common path, coordinated with your QI, CPA and attorney. You have 45 days to identify and 180 to close, so line up the replacement first.
