If the company purchases tools how to treat that, which is going to deal more with a manner to separate what is a company asset and what is his while you are 900 miles away.

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??

I don't' have any assets, two cars that I'm paying for, I bought another house in March of 2011 for way cheaper (this time if one of us gets laid off, we can afford the 750/mnth payment) How can they come after me other than a collection agency?
