Our Process
How we find, score, and close your NNN investment
Our team guides you through every step of the triple net (NNN) investment process. We work with you to identify and evaluate suitable properties, negotiate the transaction terms, handle the due diligence, and address any other closing matters.
01 – Search
We search every Platform
We access LoopNet, CoStar, Crexi, and direct developer relationships to build an unbiased list matching your criteria — cap rate, tenant type, geography, lease term, and 1031 timeline.
02 – Score
Every property is scored
Each shortlisted property goes through the NNNDealEvaluator — our 100-point buyer-side model — before we present it to you. No property reaches your desk without institutional scrutiny.
03 – Compare
Side-by-side comparison
We compare every candidate on the same scoring framework and give you a clear recommendation with supporting analysis — so your decision is backed by data, not intuition.
04 – Negotiate
We negotiate for you
With 40 years of buyer-side experience, we know where sellers have room. We negotiate price, terms, and structure with one objective: your best outcome.
05 – Close
We close alongside you
From LOI through closing, we coordinate due diligence, title, lender, and 1031 exchange intermediary. Our fee is paid by the seller — no cost to you.
06 – Access
Off-market opportunities
Our developer relationships give you first-look access to properties before they’re publicly listed — a meaningful advantage when the best assets trade quietly.
Why it Matters
The conflict of interest most investors never consider
When a broker lists properties for sellers, their interests and yours are not the same. Listing agents generally represent the sellers, while Triple Net Companies represents your interests throughout the transaction.
The Problem with Listing Brokers
A broker who represents sellers cannot fully represent your interests as a buyer
- Motivated to sell their own listings — not find your best option nationally
- Earn more commission when you pay a higher price
- Due diligence is your responsibility per most offering memorandums
- May represent both buyer and seller in the same transaction
- No obligation to disclose risks that reduce their commission
The Triple Net Companies Commitment
We have never listed a property in 40 years—and we never will
- We search every listing platform to find the best option for you
- We are paid by the seller — at zero cost to you — regardless of which property you choose
- We conduct institutional-grade due diligence on every property we recommend
- We flag every risk — including ones that would kill the deal
- We only win when you make the right investment
NNN Deal Evaluator
The institutional underwriting tool that tells you exactly what to do
Most buyers rely on an offering memorandum written by the seller’s broker to make a multi-million dollar decision. Our proprietary NNN Deal Evaluator help provides information about potential properties.
Tell us what you’re looking for and we identify potential properties and run each through a 100-point buyer-side analysis — scoring tenant credit durability, location strength, exit liquidity, 1031 suitability, and deal structure risk. Every report ends with a direct Proceed–Renegotiate–Pass recommendation. No marketing language. No seller bias. Already found a property? We can help with that, too.
Tell Us What You Want
Share your target tenant, geography, cap rate, and, if applicable, 1031 timeline. We search every platform and surface candidates—no offering memorandum required. Already have a property in mind? Send it and we’ll score it.
100-Point Buyer-Side Scoring
Each property is scored across five weighted categories. No marketing language. No seller bias. The same rigor institutional capital applies — on your side.
Compare Multiple Properties
Evaluating more than one property? We run every candidate through the same framework and produce a side-by-side comparison with a clear recommendation.
Proceed-Renegotiate-Pass
Every analysis concludes with a direct recommendation, 1031 exchange suitability rating, negotiation leverage points, and price adjustment guidance.
Due Diligence
The offering memorandum is written to sell you. Our due diligence is designed to protect you.
Once you’re under contract, our team pressure-tests every assumption the seller’s broker would rather you not question. We read the documents line by line, verify what the offering memorandum only asserts, and surface every risk — including the ones that would kill the deal. You walk into closing knowing exactly what you’re buying.
Stage 1: From LOI to Under Contract
We deliver a written brief on the purchase agreement—key provisions, contingency windows, and every critical date mapped to your calendar so no deadline slips. We coordinate directly with your legal counsel as you take control of the property and the diligence clock.
Stage 2: Property, Lease, and Tenant Review
The heart of the work. We abstract the lease—rent schedule, escalations, renewal options, and exactly who bears taxes, insurance, and CAM—and confirm it against a tenant estoppel. We order and review the ALTA survey, title commitment, Phase I environmental, and property condition assessment, and we vet tenant and guarantor financials so the credit behind your rent check is real, not assumed.
Stage 3: Understanding the Location
We drive the deal to the finish: resolving open title, survey, and lender items, coordinating your 1031 intermediary against the 45- and 180-day deadlines, and working with your counsel to confirm every closing document is in order before you sign.
Stage 4: Transaction Management & Closing
At this stage of the deal, we work diligently to deal with any outstanding issues—known and unexpected. Our team works with your legal counsel to ensure that all closing-related documentation is in order.

FAQ
Why net lease?
With the wild fluctuations in the financial markets, many investors are looking for a safe place to put their money. Triple net leases offer that stable, predictable return.
A triple net lease requires the tenant to pay, in addition to rent, all of the property expenses that normally would be paid by the property owner, including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance costs and utilities. Typically, net lease assets tend to be single tenant, free standing buildings such as banks and fast food restaurants that can come with a corporate guarantee which makes the corporation, not the property, responsible for making your monthly payments.

What is a net lease?
A Net Lease is an agreement between a tenant and a landlord where THE TENANT, not the Landlord, is responsible for paying rent plus some or all of the operating expenses of the building such as taxes, insurance premiums, repairs, and utilities. Specifically, in the case of a triple net lease, also known as NNN leases, the tenant agrees to pay all of the building’s operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance.
What is a single-tenant, net-leased investment?
A single-tenant, net-leased investment is typically a freestanding office, retail, or industrial building that is leased and occupied by one user or one company. Typically the tenant has committed to a long-term lease – usually longer than 10 years, and as long as 25 years with increasing rent over the lease term.
How are single-tenant, net-leased investments different from multi-tenant buildings?
Multi-tenant buildings have more than one tenant, and as a result, owners and landlords must juggle multiple leases that begin and end at different times. These leases are rarely longer than ten years. That means that the building’s financial performance is vulnerable to the ups and downs of the market.
Many net-lease investors have previously owned other types of real estate but are looking for an investment that requires less maintenance and supervision. For example, many apartment investors end up selling their high-maintenance properties and then reinvesting the sale proceeds in single-tenant, net-leased retail properties, as do many landowners who have previously never received any income or tax benefits from their property.
Who can invest in single-tenant, net-leased properties?
Anyone can invest in single-tenant leased properties. Other than large institutional investors and life insurance companies who invest in triple net leases because of the security they offer, individual investors who own single-family rentals who are just tired of having to deal with tenants or are afraid their equity will be wiped out in another market shift, are ideal candidates, especially since they can sell their rental and exchange that equity, tax free, into a net-leased property.
What are the risks related to investing in single-tenant, net-leased properties?
While there are fewer risks related to investing in single-tenant, net-leased properties, as compared to more speculative real estate investments, tenants with non-investment grade credit profiles offer higher levels of risk. But that risk typically provides higher returns as well. And investors always need to think about the “re-leaseability” of a property if the tenant were to vacate the space.
How are single-tenant, net-leased assets valued?
Unlike traditional real estate investments whose valued is determined exclusively by the real estate itself, a single-tenant, net-leased property’s value is determined by a combination of factors including the tenant’s credit, the length of the lease and rental escalations over the term, and, last but not least, the real estate. In markets where the real estate experiences wide valuation swings, a single-tenant, net-leased property will maintain its value because of its bond-like, long-term lease and the credit tenant guaranty for the lease.
When is the best time to invest in a single-tenant, net-lease property?
Net-leased properties are like all-weather tires. They are good investments in both good and bad economic times and in hot and cold real estate markets. Here’s why: a single-tenant net lease investment is guaranteed by the lease at pre-set rental rates. As an owner, you know exactly who will be a tenant in your building, how long that tenant will be there and exactly how much rent they will pay. That means you will derive a predetermined income from your investment, as long as the tenant is occupying the asset and current with the terms of their lease.
