## Resource

In this episode of The Buyout Show, Lucas and Luna drill into one of the most overlooked corners of private equity: parking lot acquisitions. They walk through a real $200 million portfolio deal closed in March 2026 by a mid-market PE firm in Atlanta, breaking down the math on occupancy rates, monthly parking revenue per space, and the surprisingly stable cash flows that attract institutional capital. They also explain the three main exit strategies — selling to a larger operator, a REIT, or an infrastructure fund — and why parking assets behave more like toll roads than real estate. Along the way, Luna pushes back on whether the consolidation is squeezing small operators and independent lot owners, and Lucas shares data on how many parking spaces are still owned by mom-and-pop firms versus private equity roll-ups. A focused look at a quiet but growing asset class in the PE playbook. #PrivateEquity #ParkingLots #ParkingIndustry #RollUps #AssetAcquisition #RealEstate #Infrastructure #CashFlow #BusinessAcquisitions #PEPlaybook #MomAndPop #REIT #Atlanta #MidMarket #Consolidation #ParkingSpaces #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
