Single Net Lease (N)
What does it mean
A Single Net Lease (N) in commercial real estate requires tenants to pay property expenses beyond their base rent and utilities. In this arrangement, tenants assume responsibility for one of the following property expenses: insurance, taxes, or maintenance. This type of lease transfers property risk from the landlord to the tenant.
Why does it matter
Whether your borrower is a tenant or landlord, the lease agreement type directly influences their income statement. Their income-generating capacity in turn affects their loan repayment capability.

A bit about me
Greetings! I'm Clay Sharkey, and there is nothing I like more than assisting others in achieving their goals. I firmly believe that by enhancing a banker's understanding of their customer's' business, they can provide superior service. This superior service, in turn, leads to stronger relationships for the bank, improved performance for the businesses, and better experiences for our communities. Win-win-win.
