Sure am. Great for pure passive income. Just have to make a thorough decission about the location as location, visibility, and underlying economics of the metro area is everything when investing in these types of assets. If you can get around that, the building will always be leased out and you will get some decent rent growth.

Use local lenders if you can, as they understand the market better and have different financing.  More likely to help you with franchisee or independent owners.  Some of the national lenders will only talk to you if it's a 10 year lease with a well known corporate tenant.

Yes I love NNN. I buy the value add for cash and reposition. My clients buy stabilized NNN tenants with BBB- or better credit and long term leases.

These clients tend to be:

1. Medium to large size business owners

2. Doctors and Surgeons

3. High level corp execs

I have some other clients but these are the main 3 most often. My clients also do a COMBO approach sometimes where they buy longer term NNN to own directly 100% themselves say a 5 million or 10 million NNN STNL and then they invest in my syndicate value add deals passively 100k plus at a time. They can blend overall yield that way.

Without knowing your specific situation and goals it would be hard to comment further.

Yes my favorite asset class right now is industrial. We are heavily targeting sale leaseback deals specifically. The NNN game can be great, but you do need to do heavy DD on the leases. And be conservative on modeling vacancy and lease up costs.

Yes, we are investing specifically in NNN medical office and retail. I got tired of multifamily syndicators projecting 4% annual rent growth, little expense growth, and buying at very high pricing. It's a lot more fun to do research on specific businesses and industries than just the residential environment.
