Dollar General vs. 7-Eleven vs. Take Five: Which NNN Property Should You Buy?

We walk through a simpler way to compare five common triple net property types. A lot of investors get stuck in the same place. One deal looks safer because the tenant is a big national brand. Another looks better because the cap rate is higher. But that’s usually where the guessing starts. In this episode, I break down what actually matters when you compare NNN deals: lease term, tenant durability at that location, the strength of the real estate if the tenant leaves, and how the property may perform when it’s time to sell. I also walk through five common categories investors see all the time: discount retail, specialty retail, medical and dental, convenience stores, and automotive service. We cover: ⦿ Why brand name and cap rate are not enough⦿ The 5-question screen I use on every NNN deal⦿ How lease term affects pricing and exit timing⦿ Why the real estate itself is your Plan B⦿ How liquidity changes by asset type and market⦿ A simple way to score deals and compare them side by side This episode is for investors who want simpler ownership and more predictable income, but still want to make smart decisions before they buy. Triple net can reduce the day-to-day management load. But it does not remove risk. That’s why this episode is really about choosing the kind of risk that fits your goals, your hold period, and your exit plan.
