I work in development - hands on project management, my role has very little to do with modeling on a day to day basis, but thanks for being an A$$hole!

alright well one thing I will add, if you are serious, is that a NNN tenant might not be responsible for capex like replacing the roof or repaving the entire parking lot. because of this, i.e. NOI does not necessarily = yield, there should be some cushion in there for this.

also, your actual return depends on how much debt you use, rent growth, exit cap rate, etc. But seriously, i'm not even sure where to start with this, it was a weird question.

Thanks I appreciate your input.

I have my answer - which I have to admit was much easier than I originally suspected, just needed to be thought through.

If it is a true ABSOLUTE triple net lease. They will be no landlord obligation. Often you see properties being marketed as "NNN" and then you read the lease and you find that the landlord is responsible to maintaing the roof and structure, or in some cases the parking lot as you just mentioned. Both of which can be expensive to maintain if you're buying a deal in a state with tough weather–this can kill your NOI. Technically speaking that would be a modified gross lease. Anyhow, you'll also see them referred to as just NN (double-net) when the broker or principal knows what's up.
 

That is correct, I have not came across an absolute NNN lease. The point I was trying to make is that in the real world, when someone says NNN, people automatically assume you are referring to the tenant being responsible for 100% of all operating expenses. It would be uncommon to think that NNN means absolute NNN.

And my exception was a single tenant building. As an FYI, my experience excludes industrial, which is where I would assume this is more common.
