What Makes NNN Income Truly Passive
Most "passive" real estate investments still require your time. NNN is different — and the difference is structural, not a matter of degree.
Zero Management Burden
The corporate tenant — McDonald's, Starbucks, Dollar General — is contractually responsible for property taxes, insurance, and all maintenance. Your only job is depositing the rent check.
Corporate-Guaranteed Rent
Every rent payment is backed by a Fortune 500 balance sheet — not an individual, not a small business. Investment-grade corporate guarantees with credit ratings from Moody's and S&P.
Predictable, Growing Income
NNN leases run 10–25 years with built-in rent escalations — typically 10% every 5 years. Your income grows automatically without any action on your part.
Individual Tax Review
Eligible improvements may be depreciable, but basis, current law, and deduction limitations matter. Your independent tax advisers should evaluate any study and the actual tax treatment.
NNN vs. Other Passive Income Sources
