Commercial Lease advice (When to use Triple Net?)
10 August 2024 | 8 replies
In theory you could also recover 1/6th of the CAM costs, too, but in my very limited experience with mixed use, the first floor commercial could very well push back on that, since they very well may not be utilizing almost any of the common area, depending on building layout.CAM would come from any number of places, commonly:Cleaning and utilities for any common lobby.Window cleaning for the buildingParking lot maintenanceLandscapingCommon HVAC maintenance, i.e. if a single furnace heats multiple spacesUltimately, you will want to be talking with either a commercial leasing agent or an attorney that specializes on commercial leases.One thing to note, while NNN leases are generally great, there is certainly work for you on a semi consistent basis, in creating the monthly escrow amounts and annual reconciliation.

But there are a lot of "main GPs" that either don't know there was scrutiny or figure since there seemed to be no major action, the SEC blessed the relationship (but didn't change the rules, so who knows when it will rear its head again).Enter the "Fund of Fund" model, which is more commonly truly a feeder Fund.
