About Net Leased Management

Your trusted partner in net leased solutions

Rooted in Experience, Built for Today’s Market

Backed by the expertise of parent company Commercial Facilities, Inc. (CFI), Net Leased Management has deep roots in the commercial real estate industry. Since 1964, CFI has provided traditional property and asset management services in Southern California. Net Leased Management (NLM) was founded in 2015 as a division of CFI due to a need for administrative management of net leased investment properties located out-of-state. After much expansion of this niche accounting and administrative management offering, Net Leased Management became a standalone entity in 2023.
