It has been said by Andrew Carnegie that 90% of American millionaires become so through owning Real Estate. Although times have changed since Carnegie uttered those words, it still rains true today.
In our ever-changing economy, it can be easy to be pressured to invest in higher-risk stocks, securities, currencies, options, etc. as the potential reward can outweigh the perceived risk of these investments. Speculation is indeed the backbone of the NYSE and it is healthy and imperative that investors continue to make calculated speculative investments; however, it’s important that these same investors have secure assets to fall back to if and when speculation leads to failure.
Commercial Real Estate Investments and specifically NNN Multi-Tenant Investments can provide a healthy annual cash flow while mitigating default risk through having multiple diverse businesses occupying the building. The benefits of an NNN investment include, but are not limited to:
Low Maintenance while having a direct line of communication with your tenants/manager to anticipate the health of your investment.
Asset appreciation and principal reduction on loan while simultaneously receiving positive cash flow.
Tenants pay their pro-rated share of property taxes, maintenance, common area expenses, property insurance, property management.
Tenants pay all operating expenses (Gas, Electric, water) directly to the provider.
Ability to improve investment (Increase rents, improve common elements, etc.)
Ability to have a tangible asset that represents your investment.
