How To Conduct DD and Manage Personal Industrial Investment

Anybody here invest in small industrial properties on their own?  I'm looking into a single tenant NNN warehouse near a downtown core, currently leased and used as a "last mile deliver" facility for a large retailer.  My questions are:

> If the lease is NNN, does all rent truly flow directly to NOI since all opex is reimbursed? Or are there other opex the LL must pay?  Specifically curious if a large re-assessment could trigger LL to pay some of the new tax bills.

> What should I be most aware of when inspecting the physical layout/construction of the property?  I'm bringing an inspector who can spot standard stuff like signs of leaks/mold, faulty plumbing/wiring and outdated mechanicals etc... but what about things more industrial specific like "clear height" or # of bay doors per SF or other metrics I should look for?

> What are the most important things to check the lease for?  

> What does self managing a small NNN warehouse entail?  I'm assuming its a mostly just monthly bookkeeping to keep track of CAM charges/reconciliations and then working on renewals/new leases & TI when a lease rolls.  Sounds pretty hands off relative to multifamily.

Interested in others’ answers. I don’t think rent truly flows through because you have to account for vacancy + management fee (the banks will jot each of those at 3-5% and draw it from your gross annual rent as an expense when giving you an economic market value to lend to you for the MTG.
