After speaking with a CPA I actually ended up buying a life insurance policy with it that will pay me a pretty decent annuity once I retire.

Basically his target was retiring baby boomers on fixed annuities, pensions, etc...

Jason, great point, you can sell any part of the note payment stream or annuity or even the future balloon payment!

Instead of maximizing cashflow, I'd opt for the equity/asset benefit, and just make sure you're making a $100 - $200 spread on the rent vs. mortgage/expenses and make your money by extracting whatever equity you do have in the property once you buy it and investing that either in mutual funds, annuities, IRA's etc, or using it as leverage for the next buy.

If he's a commission-based guy selling mutual funds, annuities, and whole life policies, forget it!).

John,You do not need all of that.What you need is a good commercial broker with a network of good lenders,title,etc.Each one of those types of assets of triple net you mentioned have their own finance structures.For example a pharmacy you can get in with 5% down and non-recourse with a 25 year term and amort.There are no rent bumps in almost all cases until the option period kicks in and it is minimal.Pharmacies are more like an annuity that you will own free and clear after 25 years throwing off good cash flow when it's paid off but being next to zero cash flow during the term..Until then you get depreciation.The lenders will usually go to DSCR of 1.01.With restaurants most are recourse unless investment grade and the lenders want a DSCR of 1.25 to 1.30.With restaurants you typically achieve rent bumps of 1.5 to 2 percent annually but because of DSCR are putting down 20 to 25% of LTV.How much money do you have today so far??

@Kim BlattYou may want to look into a self-directed solo 401k plan if you are looking for ultimate control over your retirement funds.Following are the similarities and differences between the solo 401k and the self-directed IRA.The Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k Similarities Both were created by congress for individuals to save for retirement;Both may be invested in alternative investments such as real estate, precious metals tax liens, promissory notes, private company shares, and stocks and mutual funds, to name a few;Both allow for Roth contributions;Both are subject to prohibited transaction rules;Both are subject to federal taxes at time of distribution;Both allow for checkbook control for placing alternative investments;Both may be invested in annuities;Both are protected from creditors;Both allow for nondeductible contributions;Both are prohibited from investing in assets listed under I.R.C. 408(m).The Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k DifferencesIn order to open a solo 401k, self-employment, whether on a part-time or full-time basis, is required;To open a self-directed IRA, self-employment income is not required;In order to gain IRA checkbook control over the self-directed IRA funds, a limited liability company (IRA LLC)  must be utilized;The solo 401k allows for checkbook control from the onset;The solo 401k allows for personal loan known as a solo 401k loan;It is prohibited to borrow from your IRA;The Solo 401k may be invested in life insurance;The self-directed IRA may not be invested in life insurance;The solo 401k allow for high contribution amounts (for 2016, the solo 401k contribution limit is $53,000, whereas the self-directed IRA contribution limit is $5,500);The solo 401k business owner can serve as trustee of the solo 401k;The self-directed IRA participant/owner may not serve as trustee or custodian of her IRA; instead, a trust company or bank institution is required;When distributions commence from the solo 401k a mandatory 20% of federal taxes must be withheld from each distribution and submitted electronically to the IRS by the 15th of the month following the date of each distribution;Rollovers and/or transfers from IRAs or qualified plans (e.g., former employer 401k) to a solo 401k are not reported on Form 5498, but rather on Form 5500-EZ, but only if the air market value of the solo 401k exceeds $250K as of the end of the plan year (generally 12/31);When funds are rolled over or transferred from an IRA or 401k to a self-directed IRA, the amount deposited into the self-directed IRA is reported on Form 5498 by the receiving self-directed IRA custodian by May of the year following the rollover/transfer.Rollovers (provided the 60 day rollover window is satisfied) from an IRA to a Solo 401k or self-directed IRA are reported on lines 15a and 15b of Form 1040;Pre-tax IRA contributions on reported on line 32 of Form 1040;Pre-tax solo 401k contributions are reported on line 28 of Form 1040;Roth solo 401k funds are subject to RMDs;A Roth 401k may be transferred to a Roth IRA (Note that from a planning perspective, it may be advantageous to transfer Roth Solo 401k funds to a Roth IRA before turning age 70 ½ in order to escape the Roth RMD requirement applicable to Roth 401k contributions including Roth Solo 401k contributions and earnings.)

If you're not familiar with an annuity, that's an arrangement where someone (the beneficiary) pays someone else (typically an insurance company) a chunk of cash, then gets back a monthly payment.

By presenting an offer of terms, you may be creating an annuity of payments without the hassle they were always hoping for when they got into the business.As for making offers, I would suggest some advice that I often have to remind myself of, when making offers with seller financing.
