From Fighter Pilot to CIO: The Net Lease Strategy Most Advisors Are Missing with Matt Sandretto
Sep 18, 20261h 11mS1
From the cockpit of a Navy jet to the helm of a $115M real estate fund — Matt Sandretto's path to becoming CIO of Prairie Hill Holdings is unlike any other in the alternatives space. In this episode of Asset Backed, host Andres sits down with Matt to unpack one of the most misunderstood and underallocated corners of private markets: net lease real estate. If you've heard of multifamily or industrial but never really dug into net lease — this is the episode that changes that. Matt breaks down: ✅ Why he walked away from private equity after discovering real estate inside manufacturing deals ✅ What a net lease actually is — and why it changes the entire risk profile for investors ✅ The Lululemon example: why owning the real estate beats owning the business ✅ Industrial tailwinds: onshoring, falling construction, and tight fundamentals in key markets ✅ Retail's secret: ~4% national vacancy after 20+ years of underbuilding ✅ Why informational arbitrage still exists in real estate — and how PHH exploits it ✅ Why single-asset syndications are dangerous for the wealth management channel ✅ How RIAs and family offices should think about a real estate allocation Prairie Hill Holdings is the newest manager in the EnduranceX marketplace — an alternatives platform built to connect independent RIAs and family offices with institutional-quality managers that fly below the radar. This is Episode 1 of a multi-part series. Episode 2 will go deeper into deal case studies, PHH's right to win, and how advisors can access the strategy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CONNECT WITH PRAIRIE HILL HOLDINGS Website: www.prairie-hill.com Email: investors@prairie-hill.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/matthewsandretto Q2 2026 Quarterly Update: https://lnkd.in/dNEpw7fz CONNECT WITH ENDURANCEX Website: www.endurancex.io Email: andres@endurancestrategies.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandate/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Intro & how EnduranceX found Prairie Hill Holdings 02:42 — Matt's background: Navy, Wharton, and buying manufacturing businesses 08:04 — The mindset shift: real estate vs. private equity risk 10:05 — The Lululemon example: owning the business vs. the real estate 13:59 — The 10x equity deal that started it all 16:27 — Informational arbitrage in real estate 29:39 — What is net lease real estate? 36:04 — Industrial tailwinds: onshoring & falling construction 41:17 — Retail's hidden strength: 4% national vacancy 45:46 — What RIAs get wrong about real estate allocation 56:09 — Portfolio approach vs. single-asset syndications 1:03:37 — What's coming in Episode 2 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #NetLease #RealEstateInvesting #AlternativeInvestments #PrivateMarkets #RIA #FamilyOffice #IndustrialRealEstate #AssetBacked #EnduranceX #PrairieHillHoldings ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer or solicitation to purchase an interest in any fund.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
