Triple Net Lease Asian Investors Pick Safe Havens of U.S

Calkain Companies, a real estate investment brokerage firm, recently facilitated the sale of a net leased hospice located in Winter Haven, FL.

We are looking forward to a very successful and long term partnership with Platinum Investment Corporation. As we educate investors in this demographic and their appetite grows, they are quickly becoming purveyors of the net lease product. We have been able to swiftly work through language and culture barriers, in addition to, a large time zone difference to close the first deal and we have already begun working on new transactions." Henderson commented.

Triple Net Lease Market Report

Triple Net Lease Market

Overall, net lease cap rates fell by 25 basis points in 2011. The primary drivers of this trend are lack of product (especially high quality product) and an ease in lending conditions. Construction of new net lease product continues to flow at a trickle while financing has become more available with local and regional banks competing with insurance companies for credit tenant deals. Investors have shown the willingness and ability to invest but are hindered by lack of product to satiate their demand. This lack of supply and increase in demand has forced prices up and cap rates down many would argue that 2012 promises to be a seller’s market in 2012. It is worth noting that these numbers illustrate the average trend in net lease cap rates and the net lease market itself is highly diverse depending upon tenant, lease terms and location.

Though these factors have always been significant, their effects have recently compounded. Investors have shown a preference for high quality tenants in prime urban and suburban locations and are willing to pay some of the highest prices in recent years to obtain them. Cap rates in prime markets can be up 125bps lower than the charted averages of many segments. However, investors are increasingly showing interest in properties containing lower credited tenants or located in secondary locations exchanging risk for higher returns. Net lease investments continue to gain traction as an alternative investment instrument for cash flow and yield investors.

NNN Investments True Value

(NNN)Triple Net Lease News

NNN investment or the most critical component of the equation?

Don’t lose sight of the fundamentals:
• The length remaining on the lease term may not be as important as the location and the use of the property. An opportunity to renew or release could be a benefit to investors, especially if the underlying real estate meets the long term requirements of the tenant or use group.


• All things being equal, should the investment value of a property with a stable, high quality industrial tenant, who is operating with a short lease term, be overlooked or discounted? If the business model of the tenant shows creditable future growth and the site and location are critical to their operation, the investment has value beyond the initial lease term.


• Should the real estate be as equally important to the equation, as lease term and financial strength? All attributes of a NNN investment play a critical role in determining the true value if the asset and in some special cases, the value of the real estate may be as important as the strength of the tenant and the uniqueness of the location.


• The location, zoning and uniqueness of the property will always add to the real estate value. The tenant’s use of the real estate and their special requirements can make a case for a much higher value of the intrinsic real estate.


• Spending the time to quantify the real estate value with special consideration put on permitted use requirements and necessary equipment in place, can make or break a NNN deal even if the financial fundamentals say differently.


• Should savvy NNN industrial investors consider the real estate as just one factor of a NNN investment or the most critical component of the equation? In a NNN transaction, real estate having necessary site specific requirements to the Tenant’s business operation, it should disproportionately add value to unattractive real estate.

Triple net leases are also unique in their duration.  Unlike a typical residential lease that lasts only 6 to 12 months, a triple net lease lasts typically 15 to 30 years.  This is a huge advantage for property owners who want consistency in the monthly payments and the security of not having to worry about the constant struggle of placing tenants.  Triple net leases also take into consideration inflation and typically include rent increase clauses through the life of the lease term.

Typical tenants for triple net leases are Walgreens, CVS, Social Security Administration, Arbys, Pizza Hut, 7eleven, Wells Fargo and many more.  These well recognized companies are willing to participate in triple net leases, because owning all of their business locations is not advantageous to their business model or growth.

Many investors are looking for a safe place to put their money with the wild fluctuations in the financial market. Stable, predictable investment vehicles are increasingly hard to find, but smart investors do have choices. One of the better choices is to invest in triple net lease, which many investors also call a corporate bond combined with real estate investments that still make sense today.

Owning a triple net lease property offers a long term lease with a corporately rated tenant, opposed to an individual tenant in residential real estate.  The major benefit of a triple net lease is the consistent monthly return without the hassles of being a landlord.
