But bottom line money is out of your account and into an account you cant access or influence.

Quote from @Dylan Jeluso: This questions is the same question as getting your real estate license when doing flips, you have access to the MLS, you save money on the commission, and you have a little bit of a competitive advantage over the next person that is not licensed.

Remember someone may be coming on your property every month to change the sign, unless they have some kind of direct access.2.

That's why you see so much trapped equity in properties owners cannot access. 

Sadly this industry is ripe for a company to come out with a product that does what we need it to do, be versatile enough with it's software that it can expand and have the customer service that is accessible.

As much as I hate annuities, you might speak with an annuity agent about the employer awarding a bonus in the form of a single premium deferred annuity invested in index funds and that you do not have the right to access until a date certain and then a full payout over time.

Area, tenant use, tenant credit (i.e. only Moody's BBB or better guarantor credit).There are a lot that can vary in NNN, just like any other real estate.You have market risks: FL has another hurricane coming, CA has earthquakes and wild fires, the midwest has anemic population growth.You have some location risk: is building on hard corner with signalized access or buried mid-block with no turn lane?  

We do not do Syndications; we have access to all the funding we will ever need, and I don't like sharing the profits. 

I'm biased and can provide reasons and data to show that using an agent will protect you, get you more money, less stress and so on.The reality is you can do it yourself, but tenants generally don't cooperate with showings and that causes lots of problems for buyer to access the unit to show, inspections, appraisals etc.

The property has about a quarter mile of street access, and no trees or anything to block it, so I wanted to put something there to give a little privacy anyway, and then these trees obviously have to go, so I was hoping to re-use them.
