Types of NNN Leases: NNN or NN Seriously? Whats the Difference?

You are considering trading out of your residential rental investment and using the IRS 1031 Exchange to defer your capital gains taxes. The Net Leased Investment is one of the best ways to do this. Many people have heard of the Triple Net or NNN investments.

You should be aware that some properties that are presented as a Triple Net are in fact a Double Net. What does this mean? Well, you might have some landlord responsibilities. It may not be a big deal or it can be a very big consideration. Some of the more common landlord responsibilities are roof and structure. If the building is new and has a new roof with a warranty this may not be a big deal. If the property is older and the roof has not been replaced in a long time, and you’re lease calls for the roof to be replaced by the landlord, you need to take a closer look at the opportunity.

Sometimes the landlords is responsible for the parking lot. This can get pricey if it is in an area that gets a lot of snow. Snow plows really tear up a lot. Sunny locations get problems too. The sun can really wear out the black top. Sealing and striping can add several thousand dollars a year to the budget. These are just a couple of examples.

The bottom line is a double net lease may not be a bad deal. You just need to really take a close look at the lease to see what you are responsible for.
Beaubien Investment Group can help you find a net leased investment that meets your needs. Call Will Beaubien at 415–840–2769

3 Types of Net Leased Investments: Fee Simple, Ground Lease, and Leasehold

I’m Will Beaubien of Beaubien Investment Group. I want to share with more information on Net Lease Investments.

There are 3 property categories in Net Lease Investing. There’s Fee Simple, Ground Leases and Leaseholds. What are the differences? Well you’re probably pretty familiar with Fee Simple, which is how most people own their homes. This is the highest form of ownership in real estate. This allows you to do is anything you want on that property except for zoning. We also want those for long-term tenants, because you own the property in Fee Simple, you could sign a long-term lease with a credit tenant. Walgreens is going to pay you rent for 50 years on that property you have a contract.

Ground leases are a little bit different and that is where you own just the ground, It’s pretty straight forward there. So you own the dirt and what happens there is you collect rent from somebody like McDonalds for example. They are going to pay you a few thousand dollars a month for the right to use the dirt. They own the property, they own the building, and usually they own the building. If they don’t own the building that is called a lease hold interest.

So there are really 3 (three) different types of leases; one you own the property and the dirt, two you own the dirt and the tenants own the property and the building, and three you own just the building. There are pros and cons to all of these, with the ground lease in some ways that is the greatest way to go. You have nothing to worry about you don’t own the building, no structure. You’re just collecting rent for dirt every month. The problem is, this is one of the disadvantages you don’t get depreciation. Depreciation is pretty important to real estate investing. This is something you want to talk to your tax advisor about if depreciation is important to you.

Leasehold investments aren’t common, usually the tenants owns the building. But if the tenant doesn’t own the building the problem with leasehold investments are you need to make your money in the remaining period of that lease. If you don’t then that property reverts back to the ground lease owner. You are left with nothing, so if you don’t make enough money in the remaining term. Let’s say you have 8 years left on the leasehold. I wouldn’t buy that property. But if you have a 50 year or 99 year leasehold investment, that might be worth taking to look at. The reality is we don’t deal with this much. Fee Simple is the way to go. I love the word simple because that is really what we are talking about here. It’s simple investments where you are getting your time back, increasing your cash flow and you’re enjoying life.

1031 Exchanges: A Very Important Wealth Building Tool

The IRS code 1031 may be familiar to some of you. It has become a very common tool to defer capital gains taxes on real estate investments.
The rules are somewhat simple. You have 45 days to identify a property to trade into. You have a total of 180 days to complete the purchase of the new property. You have to make sure your new investment property is greater in value than the one you sold. You also need to replace the debt if you had a loan on the property you sold.

Of course the 1031exchange process can be a lot more complicated. This is why we partner with Qualified Intermediaries and lawyers with specific expertise in 1031 exchanges.

The selection of the new property is what Beaubien Investment Group is here to help you with. We like Net Leased investments, also known as Triple Nets. There are literally thousands of these properties available for sale at anytime. The selection process can be a bit overwhelming. Beaubien Investment Group is here to help.
