In some ways, triple net properties are as much fixed-income investments as they are real estate vehicles.
Offering little to no management responsibility and long-term fixed incomes with the potential for gradual increases, they act like bonds.
However, underlying their financial structures, NNN properties are still real estate and carry the same eventual risks and challenges.
Here are some of the pros and cons of triple net lease properties:
Pro: Stable Income
Con: Limited Upside
Triple net leases are usually structured with a flat rent or with fixed increases. When you buy a $2,000,000 property at a 7.5 percent cap, you know that you can count on $150,000 per year for the life of the lease. Many triple-net properties also have rent increases of 1 to 2 percent per year built-in. They provide some growth, but don't necessarily keep up with inflation. However, this is no different from buying a corporate, Treasury or municipal bond with a fixed rate of return.
Pro: Long-Term 100% Occupancy
Con: Risk of 100% Vacancy
Most triple net properties come on the market with a lease of at least 10 years, with some having initial terms as long as 25 years. This gives you a long time during which you don't have to worry about partial or full vacancy. The drawback is that when the lease does expire, it's an all-or-nothing proposition. The same occurs in the event of a tenant default, although careful due diligence before purchase can reduce the risk of this occurring.
Pro: Attractive Cap Rates
Con: High Price Relative to Underlying Value
Single tenant properties typically trade at attractive cap rates that are hundreds of basis points above comparable non-real estate investments. They're also frequently priced lower than more traditional investment real estate alternatives on a cap rate basis. A large portion of their value comes from their income stream, though, meaning that they could lose value when vacant or as their remaining lease term decreases.
Pro: No Management
Con: CapEx at Rollover
True triple net properties are structured so that the owner has no responsibilities whatsoever during the lease period, while others transfer some capital expenditures to the owner. In either case, the ownership experience is very different from traditional real estate. However, when the lease rolls over, owners have to get involved in the re-leasing process and in any necessary capital expenditures to prepare for a new tenant.

How to Select the Best Triple Net Broker
Given that a net-leased investment typically costs millions of dollars, finding a good triple net broker is particularly important. Working with a good triple net broker will give you better access to inventory, better financing, and a better investment result.
Here are a few things to look for in your quest for a top-line triple net broker.
Fundamental Knowledge
Many of the triple net broker firms in the market lack a solid understanding of the fundamentals of an NNN investment. Look for a triple net broker who knows the difference between a double net, a triple net, and a "true" triple net lease. Your triple net broker should also understand the credit rating system, as this will help them, and you, measure the risk of a given tenant.
Access to Inventory
A strong NNN broker will have a large and diverse inventory consisting of a mixture of their own listings as well as properties offered by other triple net broker companies and off-market deals. This will let you choose from a number of different properties to find the right mix of lease terms, lease length, and tenant quality.
Access to Financing
A good triple net broker knows that the lender can make or break the deal. As such, you should look for a triple net broker who either has an in-house commercial mortgage broker or a strong relationship with an outside broker. Your triple net broker should also understand the many different financing options available, including bank financing, life insurance financing, conduit debt and the "CTL" credit tenant lease programs that provide long-term fixed rate debt for NNN assets.
Client-Focused Business
Your triple net broker should take some time to get to know you and your goals. They should then show you appropriate property. If, for instance, you express a desire to have long-term stable income and your triple net broker shows you properties with five or fewer years remaining on the lease, you may want to select someone else. Watch for a NNN broker who does not attempt to saddle you with more debt than you want. Although some debt carries a number of benefits, it also carries risk, and a good triple net broker will help you strike the right balance.
Experience
Your triple net broker should have a few deals under his or her belt. Although some of the most active triple net broker teams in the company focus on seller representation, there are a large number of good buyer representatives who have amassed a large resume of experience. Work with a triple net broker like that, and if they have a well-respected designation, like CCIM, that is an additional plus.

These Passive Investments Pay You to Golf
Every wish you were a golf pro or could get paid to golf?
Get paid to do what you love.
At some point we all wish we could get paid to do what we love. (see: doing what you love while getting paid) Does it matter where the money comes from? Do you have to be Tiger Woods to get paid while you play golf? No. You can get paid by other sources while playing golf.
Passive investments allow you to be "passive" and collect money from the investments. A business is active and Tiger Woods is a business. He has to work to make money. He has to show up. He has to perform. Then he collects.
Tiger does have many passive parts to his business like his endorsements which allow him to collect money while doing other things besides playing golf. Regardless of his golf performance or his tabloid success Tiger Woods will be able to collect passive income for life just because he is Tiger Woods.
Unfortunately, you are not Tiger Woods.
However, you can still get paid to play golf.
Consider these passive real estate investments.
These triple net properties require little or no management and will pay you while you play golf, they will pay you while you travel, even pay you while you eat and sleep. The leases are triple net so the tenant takes care of pretty much everything and you collect the rent check.... while doing what you love.
These triple net properties pay you to do what you love.

"Ignore the Recession" - More reasons to buy a Net Leased TSC
TSC is one of my favorite NNN tenants. Nice buildings, great locations, solid financials, long leases, low management for owners; the list goes on and on. ABC News Nightline did a segment this week of why TSC is a "Recession Proof Retailer". TSC's internal strategy has been to "ignore the recession". It appears to have worked.
Net Lease Properties a Hot Commodity Due to Low Yields on Alternative Investments
Today a 10-year government bond would yield a return of approximately 1.5 percent, while a net lease building offers returns from 5 percent to 8.5 percent or greater. There is also little risk associated with class-A net lease properties—as long as the location is good and the building is well-maintained there will always be tenants willing to sign leases even if the existing occupant leaves. This inspires greater confidence in conservative investors than the recently volatile stock market.
