Why Invest in U.S. Post Office™ Properties Now

You have probably heard and read a great deal of negative news concerning the United States Postal Service® . Talk of insolvency, facility closures and reduction in service have contributed to a steep increase in postal facilities currently on the market. Additionally, cap rates (return on investment) have skyrocketed above 8%, in many cases approaching 10%.

Consider that in addition to delivering the mail, the U.S. Postal Service® has been around longer than the United States, is the country’s largest employer, and performs the vital task of keeping our nation connected and unified. In other words, the USPS® is vital to our nation for many reasons other than the delivery of mail. That's why Congress must approve changes within the USPS®.

While the USPS® has reduced costs by streamlining mail processing and delivery through automation, and has been innovative in package mailings, it needs further changing. Restructuring of the benefit and retirement prepayment requirement, closure of small or redundant facilities, going to a five day delivery schedule, and negotiating new labor contracts are some of the areas that must be addressed in order to help bring the USPS® back to profitability.

As a result, we believe there are some excellent investment opportunities to acquire well located, leased U.S. Post Office™ properties that show returns of 8% and more. Asking prices for these facilities range from under $100,000 to over $1 million.
