Tony Nguyen NNN Lease - who pays for HVAC and CAPX?
5 November 2011 | 5 replies
Yes Tony a TRUE Triple Net the landlord will not pay those costs.Lately net lease companies especially credit rated tenants have been more demanding in trying to get the landlord to cover some costs.It is very important to look at the length of the lease and terms and escalations.With inflation if the rent increases every 5 years is marginal and they want you to take care of certain items with the property it can drastically reduce your returns.It's all about what returns you are seeking versus the security and consistency of the payment.Generally triple net will hover around the 6 to 9 CAP range but will not approach the teens in most situations.For those kind of returns you have to usually chase after value add deals but they are much more work than mail box money from a credit tenant.Credit tenants have risk which is why you also research heavily the health of the tenant today you are acquiring the lease and their growth plans for the future along with reserves.
