Sharing the Expenses with Triple Net Lease Properties

After acquiring land for a business to grow on, managing the business comes next for an entrepreneur. The purchase of land from a real estate broker is one thing; maintaining the profitability of the land is a different matter. If a structure is already in place of the property, all the more that maintenance of the property will require a substantial amount of money.

It is essential for businesses to keep their property in good working condition to maintain a venture’s operations overall. Maintenance expenses include, but not limited to, monthly electric and water bills, and upgrades to a structure in the property. Unexpected expenses, such as repairs as a result of the damage caused by natural calamities, can also occur. There are also real estate taxes that must be paid as compensation for the use of the property.

It is safe to say that aside from the purchase of raw materials, a large portion of a business expense goes to maintenance of all of the firm’s properties. Because real estate is a marketable resource, the wise entrepreneur must know better than not to leave his/her property in a dismal state. Every damage to the property leads to a significant drop in its overall value.

The added expense of maintaining the property usually results in high rental rates for interested clients who want to use the property. But both the proprietor and the client can come to terms if the latter agrees to shoulder some of the load. This is an example of triple net lease properties, called such because of the triple nets: taxes, insurance and maintenance the client must pay for maintaining the property.

Having triple net lease properties allows the entrepreneur to charge the property at a lower rate, since some of the stress in the expenses is already in the hands of the client. This kind of property is common in residential businesses, such as apartments, but can also be found in commercial businesses. Triple net lease properties are also beneficial to the client, since, apparently, they are cheaper than other kinds of real estate.

Also, in triple net lease properties, the proprietor has more control over the property being rented. It may sound like this kind of property only favors the proprietor but, in reality, both parties benefit. The proprietor can set and negotiate the standard rates where both the proprietor and the client agree.
