WHY NET LEASE REAL ESTATE IS A SAFE INVESTING ALTERNATIVE IN TOUGH TIMES

By Adina Marcut 

Net lease real estate is a significant part of the industry, and triple net leases—also known as net-net-net leases (NNN)—are the most common. What is the difference between net and triple net lease? In an NNN lease agreement, all the costs related to the property— including taxes, insurance fees, and maintenance—plus the rent are the tenant’s responsibility compared to the single net lease agreement in which the tenant agrees to only pay property taxes in addition to rent. Additionally, triple net lease real estate agreements are typical for buildings with a single tenant and are usually long-term.

In these difficult economic times, net lease properties are among the most popular investing alternatives because they provide a steady cash flow with an annual rent increase.
