A sale-leaseback is a deal where an owner sells an asset—commonly real estate or equipment—to another party and immediately rents it back so they can keep using it. For investors, it matters because the seller converts a fixed asset into cash without disrupting operations, which can boost liquidity or pay down debt but also creates ongoing lease payments and long-term obligations that affect cash flow and the balance sheet.
net-leasedfinancial
Net-leased describes a commercial property arrangement where the tenant not only pays rent but also assumes some or all ongoing property costs such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance. For investors, this setup is like leasing out a house where the renter also pays the utilities and yard work: it usually produces steadier, more predictable income and shifts operating cost and vacancy risk away from the landlord, affecting valuation and return expectations.
triple net leasefinancial
A triple net lease is a rental agreement where the tenant pays the base rent plus three main ongoing costs: property taxes, building insurance, and routine maintenance. For investors, this shifts much of the expense and risk onto the tenant, creating a steadier, more predictable income stream for the property owner—similar to renting a furnished home where the renter also pays the bills—making valuation and cash-flow forecasting simpler.
cap ratefinancial
The cap rate is a way to estimate how much money a real estate investment might generate relative to its purchase price. Think of it as a measure of the property's annual income divided by its value, helping investors compare different properties quickly. A higher cap rate generally indicates a potentially higher return but may also come with more risk.
