🏠 NNN Leases & Real Estate Financing: A Mortgage Broker's Guide 📊

💡 Triple-Net Leases: Smarter Real Estate Loans for Investors & Pros 💼

📑 Understanding Triple-Net Leases and How They Benefit Borrowers & Investors

If you’re a homebuyer-turned-investor, a gig worker seeking passive income, or a doctor looking to build wealth outside your practice—Triple-Net Leases (NNN) are worth understanding.

These leases aren’t just smart real estate plays—they’re also loan-friendly, especially for those using specialized mortgage strategies.

What Makes a Triple-Net Lease Unique?

In a triple-net lease, the tenant pays:

  • Property taxes

  • Insurance

  • Maintenance

This means you, the landlord, enjoy passive income and low overhead. They’re especially appealing to first-time commercial investors and business owners financing their own buildings.

How to Finance a NNN Property

  1. DSCR Loans for Investors
    Debt-Service Coverage Ratio loans use the property's cash flow to qualify—not your income. Perfect for self-employed borrowers or full-time investors.

  2. SBA 504/7(a) Loans for Owner-Users
    Business owners—especially doctors, dentists, and vets—can buy their own building with as little as 10% down and lock in long-term fixed rates.

  3. Bank Statement Loans
    Self-employed? Gig worker? Bank statement and P&L-only loans are available to help you qualify based on real income—not tax write-offs.

  4. 1031 Exchange + Financing
    If you’re selling a rental home or duplex, a NNN lease can be the next step in your portfolio—and yes, you can finance the new purchase with a commercial loan.

Who Should Consider This Strategy?

  • 🏘️ Investors using BRRRR or 1031 strategies

  • 🩺 Doctors/Dentists expanding into medical-retail or hybrid office

  • 🧑‍💼 Self-Employed borrowers with unpredictable W2s

  • 🌪️ Disaster-Affected buyers using 203(h) and looking to rebuild with passive income

  • 🏗️ Builders/Agents working with CRE-minded clients

At Medallion Mortgage, we help borrowers structure deals that build long-term wealth—not just get you to closing.
