What is a NNN Lease?

In a triple-net lease (NNN), the tenant pays all the operating expenses, property taxes, utilities, insurance premiums, maintenance and repairs. The landlord gets to collect monthly net rental income just as he or she would with a traditional real estate investment. Such a lease usually extends over the long term, with a financially strong corporate entity guaranteeing a lease anywhere from 10-25 years.

Example:

Wendy’s is your tenant for a guaranteed 20-year period. The tenant is responsible for all costs to operate and maintain the property, this is sometimes referred to as an “absolute” Triple-Net lease because the only management required is paying the mortgage (if there is one) and receiving the rent checks. Triple-Net lease ownership is great for first-time real estate investors as well as for long time investors seeking purchase or trade into less complicated real estate investments. In many cases, when the lease expires, you will own the property free and clear.

The price range for a NNN lease property is generally between $1 million - $7 million. The fast food restaurants and auto stores and are the most affordable, while drugstores are on the higher end. Big box retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Publix can bring from $15 million to $25 million.
