Leading the way in the safest of all USA real estate investment vehicles, is the triple net lease. The tenant pays for all the maintenance, taxes, insurance and capital repairs of the building while occupying and sends a check, once a month, to the real estate investor regardless of where they are in the world. This is the personification of “Coupon Clipping”. This is why so many foreign investors, love and desire United States commercial real estate income property and compete to own these investments. These investors, while they are collecting their rent, don’t have to worry about the property they have invested in or the tenant, as in most cases the tenant is a credit worthy risk. The majority of leases range from 15 to 20 years or more with increases (COL – Cost of Living) built into the lease or the option periods when renewing. The tenant locations are usually premier retail locations at major or primary locations. Therefore if they decide to leave (they are still liable for the rent), it is usually easy to release this location to another quality tenant.

Expected Returns?

With regard to expected returns, you need to be cognizant that the preservation of your capital while investing, is weighed heavily in deciding to move forward, so the returns cannot be excessively high or the risk becomes greater of a possible down cycle.

Better credit of the tenant and the stronger or primer location, the lower the return! Therefore a 5% to 7.5% return should be envisioned for higher quality triple net leases in the United States.

Not to be forgotten are those USA tax benefits available to you for the writing off of interest on any loan taken out, along with depreciation of the physical structures if any. The IRR – internal rate of return, therefore varies with each tax holder but it always adds some positive element of increased value to the bottom line when investing in US income property.

The Triple Net Leased property is another advantage of owning property. A 1031 trade or Starker Exchange is also in the mix should you decide to sell or if you want to delay your taxes on any profit you may gain over time while owning these great real estate investment properties. A Caveat; always consult with your tax advisor and real estate attorney when deciding to move forward on any United States commercial real estate income property purchase.
