The NNN effect or The Triple Net effect

 

WHAT IS NNN (Triple Net) and what does that mean to an investor/owner of real estate?

 

The term NNN or ‘triple net’ as it is known represents an investment property that has a commitment of a long term ( usually ) lease from the tenant, with the tenant paying the expenses of the asset property, in addition to the agreed upon rental rate.

The lease agreement designates the lessee (the tenant) as being solely responsible for all of the costs relating to the asset being leased in addition to the rent fee applied under the lease. The structure of this type of lease requires the lessee to pay for net real estate taxes on the leased asset, net building insurance and net common area maintenance. The lessee has to pay the net amount of three types of costs, which how this term got its name.

For example, if a property owner leases out a building to a business using a triple net lease, the tenant will be responsible for paying the building’s property taxes, building insurance and the cost of any maintenance or repairs the building may require during the term of the lease.The tenant is covering these costs (which would otherwise be the responsibility of the property owner).

 

NNN leases have become very desirable for investors portfolio.  They are usually long term leases with long term tenants, thus giving the investor potential security of regular income

of regular income from the investment property.

These leases may be in the industrial, retail, or office / office medical segments of the marketplace.

Another reason for the desirability of this type of asset that gives the owner /landlord ‘hands free’ management of the property, as the tenant is responsible for all costs and often all repairs.

The stock market can fluctuate, while the long-term leases, coupled with the tenant’s responsibility for expenses may make this type investment beneficial to a portfolio, when suitable.

An individuals portfolio.

 

The Triple Net properties are often desired and used for the 1031 tax deferred exchange process.

Risk Disclosure: Alternative investment products, including real estate investments, notes & debentures, hedge funds and private equity, involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees which may offset any trading profits, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager. Alternative investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Often, alternative investment fund and account managers have total trading authority over their funds or accounts; the use of a single advisor applying generally similar trading programs could mean lack of diversification and, consequently, higher risk. There is often no secondary market for an investor's interest in alternative investments, and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in any alternative investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in foreign markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets. Additionally, alternative investments often entail commodity trading, which involves substantial risk of loss.
