    @Jason Li Welcome to Bp, you should introduce yourself in new member introductions, tell us about your goals and experiences (or lack of is ok too) are you financing this, is the owner or you bringing cash? A 9 cap could be a good deal, but whats market rate if the tenant leaves?

    I shudder at figures like that!  Spending $568k for GROSS only 7% return?!!! (ie. there are a LOT more potential/actual outgoings than you have mentioned so far, and capital appreciation seems far from likely.

    My advice:- run away as fast as you can!  I wouldn't even encourage low-balling this one, as the figure would STILL likely be too high...

    @Brent Coombs NNN would make a 9.5 cap, not my normal deal but worth glancing at.

    I'm only just now learning about NNN and this earlier thread looks useful:- http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/32/topics/7175...

    My response above mentions "a LOT more potential/actual outgoings" which I now understand NOT to be the case?  But, Johnny P makes some what I would consider very sensible points: eg. "Make sure there is at least 10 yrs on the lease. Make sure the company is not struggling... Make sure the (next) lease is corporate guaranteed. This way they will continue to pay you for the duration of the (next) lease"...

    I'm learning a lot thanks to all at BP...
