What Are NNN Properties?
NNN (Triple Net) properties are commercial real estate investments where tenants are responsible for all operating expenses including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. This creates predictable cash flow with minimal landlord responsibilities.
Investment grade tenants with corporate guarantees provide stability, while long-term leases (typically 10-25 years) with annual rent escalations ensure income growth and protection against inflation.

- Predictable passive income with tenant responsible for all expenses
- Credit-backed leases with investment grade tenant guarantees
- Long-term leases (10-25 years) with annual escalations
- Recession-resistant with essential service tenants
- Professional property management and maintenance
