Dollar General vs. 7-Eleven vs. Take Five: Which NNN Property Should You Buy?

from Commercial Connections: Investing with Confidence · host René Nelson - CCIM

We walk through a simpler way to compare five common triple net property types.A lot of investors get stuck in the same place. One deal looks safer because the tenant is a big national brand. Another looks better because the cap rate is higher. But that’s usually where the guessing starts.In this episode, I break down what actually matters when you compare NNN deals: lease term, tenant durability at that location, the strength of the real estate if the tenant leaves, and how the property may perform when it’s time to sell.I also walk through five common categories investors see all the time:discount retail, specialty retail, medical and dental, convenience stores, and automotive service.We cover:⦿ Why brand name and cap rate are not enough⦿ The 5-question screen I use on every NNN deal⦿ How lease term affects pricing and exit timing⦿ Why the real estate itself is your Plan B⦿ How liquidity changes by asset type and market⦿ A simple way to score deals and compare them side by sideThis episode is for investors who want simpler ownership and more predictable income, but still want to make smart decisions before they buy.Triple net can reduce the day-to-day management load.But it does not remove risk.That’s why this episode is really about choosing the kind of risk that fits your goals, your hold period, and your exit plan.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODETRIPLE NET GUIDEhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1S6Q9RiLc7tRg0ouOVjnyLpfDLfFo8RU8/view?usp=sharing💌 COMMERCIAL CONNECTIONS NEWSLETTERWant market insights and strategy in your inbox?👉 https://go.eugene-commercial.com/newsletter📅 BOOK A CALLIf you want help comparing a real triple net opportunity, or you’re thinking about selling, exchanging, retiring, or simplifying ownership, schedule a strategy call.👉 https://link.acquisitionpro.io/widget/bookings/15-mins-1031-clarity-call🔗 CONNECT WITH RENÉhttps://eugene-commercial.com/CHAPTERS00:00 Stop Guessing on Triple Net Deals 00:30 What You’re Really Buying in NNN 01:15 The 5 Asset Types We’re Comparing 02:15 The 5-Question Screen for Any NNN Deal 02:55 Discount Retail - Dollar General Type Deals 03:50 Specialty Retail - Sherwin-Williams Type Stores 04:45 Medical and Dental - Aspen Dental Type Clinics 05:53 Convenience Stores - 7-Eleven Type Sites 07:04 Automotive Service - Take 5 Oil Change Type Sites 08:00 The 3 Buckets That Make Comparison Easier 08:32 A Simple Scoring Method for NNN Deals 09:27 Which Type of Deal Fits Your Goals? 09:52 There Is No Free Return 10:12 Get the NNN Guide + Next Steps 10:44 Final Takeaway - Match the Deal to Your Goals
