NNN leases in old downtown buildings

[Ethan Brown]

I’m interested in investing in some old buildings in a downtown with a lot of potential. There are small businesses there currently, but I’m always trying to think ahead. Anybody have experience in attracting big businesses to old, historic downtown areas?

Specifically interested in NNN lease deals. How do you get businesses interested in the heart of a downtown rather than using a new building on the outskirts? I'm thinking of old buildings I've seen in Nashville/Franklin, TN with big name businesses in them.

I am new to real estate and this may be a naive question, but I'm very interested in eventually expanding to NNN. Curious on what I could do now to get there! Thanks
