Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (FCPT) Expands Portfolio with $16.9M Auto Property Deal
A REIT Retail company representative discussing the portfolio growth with a tenant.
The California-based company, Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:FCPT) is a real estate investment trust (REIT), engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurant and retail properties.
The company's newly acquired sites are backed by a long-term lease from Christian Brothers Automotive's corporate parent, which ensures predictable cash flows. The deal was closed at a capitalization rate in line with Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:FCPT)'s historical benchmarks, indicating a consistency in investment discipline amid tightening market conditions.
Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:FCPT) does not issue formal acquisition guidance. However, the trust has previously indicated it remains committed to disciplined growth. The company's Q1 2025 earnings call has expressed concerns regarding the sustainability of high acquisition volumes because of elevated competition alongside strict quality filters.
Even so, with a portfolio now exceeding 1,000 properties, Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:FCPT) continues to establish a strong footprint across high-demand U.S. retail sectors. From an equity standpoint, UBS analyst Michael Goldsmith reaffirmed a Buy rating for the company a few days before the acquisition, although lowering the price target to $30 from $33.

ZOMBIE FORECLOSURES TICK UP AS U.S. VACANCY RATES HOLDS STEADY
The national home vacancy rate was 1.3 percent for the 14th consecutive quarter; Rate of "zombie" foreclosure properties up slightly to 3.38 percent IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property data, and real estate analytics, today released its third-quarter 2025 Vacant Property and Zombie Foreclosure Report showing that 1.4 million (1,385,902) residential properties, about 1.3 percent of all homes in the United States, are vacant. The national vacancy rate has been consistent for three-and-a-half years as the nation has experienced a high-demand housing market. The report analyzes publicly recorded real estate data collected by ATTOM — including foreclosure status, equity and owner-occupancy status — matched against monthly updated vacancy data. (See full methodology below.) ATTOM's analysis shows that 222,318 properties across the country were in the process of foreclosure in the third quarter of 2025. Of those pre-foreclosure homes, about 3.38 percent (7,519) were "zombie" properties, meaning they had been abandoned by their owner. That was slightly higher than the previous quarter, when 3.30 percent of pre-foreclosure homes were considered zombies, and than the 3.14 zombie rate posted in the third quarter of 2024. Shop Top Mortgage Rates A quicker path to financial freedom Your Path to Homeownership Personalized rates in minutes "Vacant and zombie homes can hurt the value of surrounding properties and start a negative spiral in a local housing market," said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM. "While we've seen the rate of zombie homes tick up a tiny bit this quarter, the overall rate of vacant homes and homes in the foreclosure process has remained remarkably steady." "While there remain some markets with worryingly high rates of vacancies, as a whole it appears that the nation's buyers are quickly filling homes that become available," he added. States' zombie foreclosure numbers remain smallQuarter-over-quarter, the number of zombie properties rose in 23 states, but mostly by single-digit or small double-digit amounts. Likewise, in the 23 states and the District of Columbia where there were fewer zombie properties in the third quarter than the second quarter, the changes were relatively small. Four states had no change in the number of zombie properties. Among states with at least 50 zombie properties, those that saw the biggest year-over-year increase in the rate of pre-foreclosure homes that were considered zombies were Colorado (up 115 percent from 27 to 58), Washington (up 114 percent from 29 to 62), Iowa (up 84 percent from 64 to 118), North Carolina (up 80 percent from 50 to 90), and Oklahoma (up 72 percent from 43 to 74). The biggest year-over-year decreases in zombie rates among states with at least 50 zombie properties were in Georgia (down 25 percent from 85 to 64), New Jersey (down 21 percent from 230 to 181), Illinois (down 17 percent from 780 to 646), and New York (down 10 percent from 1,630 to 1,461). Northeastern states retain lowest vacancy ratesThe states with the highest vacant property rate in the third quarter of 2025 were Oklahoma (2.4 percent), Kansas (2.3 percent), Alabama (2.2 percent), Missouri (2.2 percent) and West Virginia (2.1 percent). The states with the lowest vacancy rates were New Hampshire (0.35 percent), Vermont (0.41 percent), New Jersey (0.51 percent), Idaho (0.51 percent), and Connecticut (0.54 percent). Large metro areas tend to have better zombie rates than the nationOf the 135 large metro areas in our analysis with at least 100,000 residential properties and 100 properties in the foreclosure process in the third quarter, 57 percent (77) had zombie foreclosure rates below the national average of 3.38 percent. The large metro areas with the largest proportions of vacant pre-foreclosure homes or 'zombie' homes were Wichita, KS (12.7 percent of properties in the foreclosure process are vacant); Peoria, IL (12.3 percent); Youngstown, OH (10.1 percent); Cleveland, OH (9.5 percent); and Toledo, OH (8.8 percent). The metro areas with the smallest proportions of zombie foreclosures were Nashville, TN (0 percent of properties in the foreclosure process are vacant); Atlantic City, NJ (0.3 percent); Provo, UT (0.4 percent); Trenton, NJ (0.6 percent); and Raleigh, NC (0.7 percent). Investor-owned properties more likely to be zombiesNationwide in the third quarter of 2025 there were about 24.9 million investor-owned properties, of which 3.6 percent (882,336) were vacant. The states with the highest vacancy rates in investor-owned properties were Indiana (7.2 percent), Illinois (6.1 percent), Oklahoma (5.9 percent), Alabama (5.9 percent), and Ohio (5.8 percent). The states with the lowest vacancy rates in investor-owned properties were New Hampshire (0.9 percent), Vermont (1 percent), Idaho (1.2 percent), Utah (1.5 percent), and North Dakota (1.5 percent). Two thirds of large zip codes outperformed national averageNearly two thirds of the zip codes (1,376 out of 2,164) with at least 1,000 residential properties and 25 pre-foreclosure properties in the third quarter of 2025 had zombie foreclosure rates below the national average of 3.38 percent. The zip codes with the highest zombie foreclosure rates were 91001 in Los Angeles, CA (80.8); 61603 in Peoria, IL (40 percent); 46201 in Indianapolis, IN (35.5 percent); 33708 in Tampa, FL (34.9 percent); and 44108 in Cleveland, OH (32.2 percent). Report MethodologyATTOM analyzed county tax assessor data for 104.2 million residential properties for vacancy, broken down by foreclosure status and owner-occupancy status in the third quarter of 2025.

Fresno man eyes a rental property — but Dave Ramsey warns real estate dreams can quickly turn into nightmares
Bobby from Fresno, California, has done what many Americans dream of — he's fully paid off his home. In the three years since, he and his wife have managed to save up $175,000. Now, Bobby's thinking of purchasing a $292,000 house as a rental property, and he called into The Ramsey Show to ask whether he should put the full amount down or split it to buy multiple homes. But instead of answering, host Dave Ramsey offered Bobby a bright red warning. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it 'When you talk about rental property, people particularly struggle with one issue,' Ramsey responded in a clip posted Aug. 13. 'Debt equals risk. More debt equals more risk.' Here's the lesson Ramsey, who owns hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate himself, bestowed upon Bobby. Risks and hidden costs Ramsey went into further detail about the risks of investing in rental properties. 'More debt equals lower cash flow, less cash position and more risk,' he explained. Putting everything into one property lowers debt and can simplify management, but even one lengthy vacancy or major repair bill could derail your financial situation. Multiple properties may mean more rental income, but it comes with increased debt and a bigger chance things could go wrong. 'So, when you don't get a renter for four months, or one doesn't pay for three months, or you put in a heat and air system that's $14,000, or you have to put on a roof because it's leaking, and you've got to pay property taxes and insurance … it is an incomplete picture when you don't consider all the expenses,' Ramsey said. Bobby could make some of these costs less painful by putting aside funds for expenses. Some experts say investors should expect 50% of gross income to go toward operating costs. This includes property taxes, home insurance, maintenance, repairs and utilities. It should be noted, however, mortgage payments are excluded from this list. Read more: Do you own rental properties in the US? These hidden costs can cut down on cash flow, even after a chunky down payment like the one Bobby can make. 'Real estate is an excellent investment, but it is an investment that requires a cash position,' said Ramsey, who recommended Bobby wait until he could pay for the second home in full. Co-host George Kamel noted Bobby was already on track to do just that. 'The good news is you saved up $175,000,' Kamel said. '[You're] $120,000 short of [that] goal. That's a solvable problem.' To pay cash or not to pay cash? Paying for a house all in cash may be ideal, but is it realistic? The price of housing has gone up significantly in recent years, which has made even purchasing a home as a primary residence a difficult prospect. Plus, as Ramsey noted, debt comes with risk. If you're investing in a rental property it's best to avoid over-leveraging. It also helps if you have cash reserves to cover unexpected repairs or vacancies. Buying property dirt cheap can also soften the debt blow. Ramsey knows the temptation that Bobby is facing firsthand. He leveraged millions in property in his 20s before it blew up in his face. 'I had $4 million worth of real estate by the time I was 26 with a $3 million debt, a $1 million net worth, making $200,000 a year in 1984,' he said. 'And that portfolio bankrupted me.' Now, his advice is simple: 'If you'll go slower, you'll have a much greater rate of return over the long haul.'

Alphabet (GOOGL) Is A Top Long Term Quantum Computing Stock, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s shares have reversed their trend as we settle into the year's second half. While they are up by a modest 6.4% year-to-date, since late June, the stock has gained 22%. A key reason driving Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s share performance is the performance of its cloud computing business. Additionally, not only do the firm's troubles with the Justice Department appear to have been placed on the back burner, but it has also delivered strong performance with its Search and YouTube business. Cramer discussed Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) in terms of quantum computing: '[When he wondered how many years away are we from scaled quantum and which stocks might be worth it] Well you know then the question is [inaudible] you really want to go after, it's Google and it's IBM. GongTo/ Cramer mentioned Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and quantum computing in an earlier episode as well. Here is what he said: 'Call me a believer, in quantum. And I think it's catching up and doing something. Also by the way. . .Google [is] doing well.
