Program Overview

A net lease property is a tenant and a lease.

On a triple net lease, the tenant pays the rent plus the property taxes, the insurance, and the maintenance. You collect a check. That's why net lease is a favorite of 1031 buyers and owners who want income without managing a building, and it's also why a net lease loan should look different from a regular commercial loan. The tenant, the guaranty, and the years left on the lease matter more than anything else about the building.

Most net lease loans from banks and life insurance companies carry yield maintenance or a step-down prepayment penalty, which makes selling to the next 1031 buyer or refinancing after a lease extension expensive. These loans have no prepayment penalty at all. You get a 5 year fixed rate on a 30 year amortization, up to 65% of value, and the freedom to sell or refinance whenever the timing is right.

Net Lease Questions

Frequently asked

What is an NNN loan?+
An NNN loan is a commercial mortgage on a property leased on a triple net basis, where the tenant pays the taxes, insurance, and maintenance on top of the rent. Because the tenant covers the expenses, the loan is based mostly on the rent, the tenant, the guaranty, and the years left on the lease.
Is there really no prepayment penalty?+
Yes. On qualifying loans, there's no yield maintenance, no defeasance, and no step-down. You can sell or refinance at any time and pay off only the balance. That's rare on net lease, where most bank and life company loans carry a penalty for paying off early.
What are the interest rates on NNN loans?+
Rates are fixed for 5 years at roughly 1.80% to 2.20% over the 5 year Treasury. Where your rate lands in that range depends on the tenant, the lease, and the leverage. Send the lease for terms on your property.
How much can I borrow on a net lease property?+
Up to 65% of value, and the rent needs to cover the payment by at least 1.35 times on a 30 year amortization. The lower of the two sets the loan. If you need more, our commercial DSCR loans reach up to 75% of value.
Can I use a net lease loan for a 1031 exchange?+
Yes, and it's one of the most common uses. You have 45 days to identify a replacement property and 180 days to close. Send the property as soon as it's under contract, and we'll come back with terms early enough to keep your exchange on schedule.
What tenants qualify?+
National and regional brands with a corporate guaranty, or a franchise operator with at least 20 locations. Restaurants, dialysis and medical, essential retail, auto service, childcare, and pet care are the most common. If the tenant is local, or the operator has fewer than 20 locations, our commercial DSCR loans are the fit.
How is an NNN loan different from a commercial DSCR loan?+
Both are based on the property's rent, not your personal income. Net lease loans are for properties leased to national and regional brands, with no prepayment penalty, a rate tied to the 5 year Treasury, and up to 65% of value at a 1.35x coverage. Commercial DSCR loans cover every kind of tenant, including local businesses, with up to 75% of value, no minimum DSCR under $500,000, and terms up to a 30 year fixed, usually with a step-down prepayment. If leverage matters most, commercial DSCR fits. If the rate and the freedom to sell matter most, net lease fits.
Does the length of the lease matter?+
Yes. The more years left on the lease, the stronger the loan. If the lease ends within the loan term, the location and what the building would rent for to a new tenant carry more weight.
What happens if the tenant leaves?+
That's the risk every net lease owner carries, and it's why location matters even with a strong tenant. A corner lot with good traffic and an easy-to-reuse building stays valuable without the current tenant.
Are double net (NN) leases eligible?+
Yes, on some properties. On an NN lease, the landlord usually keeps the roof and structure, and the loan accounts for that cost.
Are multi-tenant centers eligible?+
Yes, centers with a strong anchor tenant. Unanchored strip centers fit our Retail loans.
Can I get more than 65% of value, or a smaller loan?+
Yes, through our commercial DSCR loans. They reach up to 75% of value, start at $200,000, need no minimum DSCR on loans under $500,000 and 0.9x above that, and offer terms up to a 30 year fixed. Buildings leased to local businesses fit there too. The tradeoff is that most carry a step-down prepayment instead of none. See our Retail, Automotive, Daycare, and Office DSCR loans.
