Retail NNN and STNL Identification
Triple net and single tenant net lease replacement property discovery.
Retail NNN and STNL identification focuses on triple net lease and single tenant net lease retail properties that qualify as like kind replacement property. This service serves investors in Charlotte, NC and nationwide who are exchanging into or out of retail assets with long term lease structures.
NNN properties require tenants to pay base rent plus property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. STNL properties are single tenant net lease assets, often with creditworthy corporate tenants and long lease terms. These properties are attractive replacement options because they offer passive income, minimal management requirements, and predictable cash flows.
The 45 day identification window requires rapid property discovery and evaluation. We coordinate with retail brokers, net lease specialists, and off market sources to compile options that meet your specifications. Each property undergoes like kind verification to ensure it qualifies for exchange treatment. Tenant credit analysis is critical for NNN and STNL properties, as tenant quality directly impacts property value and income stability.
Qualified intermediaries hold exchange proceeds during the search and identification period. Qualified escrow arrangements ensure funds remain segregated until replacement property closes.

The 180 day closing deadline requires coordinated management between property acquisition, financing, and exchange documentation. We help navigate this timeline to ensure successful completion of your retail NNN and STNL identification in Charlotte, NC and beyond.
