Like pulling teeth.

I have taken a TSP loan in the past for real estate but it was only the bond portion of my portfolio and I pay myself interest in that situation so it was a win-win.  

Because every other safe haven country bond is at 0.5% or less. 

I did some research for an out of town investor last year who was looking to come here, and found that those sharks Will mentions have managed to bond together to keep the new guys out.

If though we have to pull teeth every month, I will hesitate to renew the lease.

The point to realize is that even if everything turns out great with a NNN property, the competition is such that the investor gets a rate of return similar to a long term bond issued by the same company.

Since it sounds like you may have limited knowledge of electrical a licensed and bonded electrician might be best to use.

Even though my mutual fund portfolio has done really well I've always kept some of my (both retirement and non-retirement) investments in bonds and other fixed investments.Always look at your risk adjusted rate of return.all cash

If you instead take that $3K+/- and invest it in government bonds over the next 8 years you'll have the same sort of return with NO risk and NO headaches.

Nope...the problem is that a movement that could have some political teeth and actually get something constructive done is overrun by extremists that end up hurting the cause.
