    1. Though NNN leased investments are considered to be highly risk-averse investments, especially when leased to a national credit tenant, the Landlord is still exposed to some financial risk.

    2. In the fine print of most NNN leases these risks are specified. For instance, who carries the obligation to rebuild after a casualty (natural disasters included) or whether the tenant must continue paying rent should the property be condemned. The "Bondable NNN Lease" is sometimes referred to as a "True Triple Net" or "Absolute Triple Net" lease and is a variation of the NNN lease in which the tenant cannot terminate the lease or seek any rent abatements under any circumstances.

    3. An NNN Lease is a net lease, structured as a turnkey investment property in which the tenant is responsible for paying the three major expenses associated with commercial real estate ownership.[2] "NNN" stands for "Net-Net-Net", is pronounced "Triple Net" and represents the three most common, consequential real estate related expenses:

    N - Property Tax

    N - Insurance

    N - Maintenance
