Triple Net (NNN) Leases with NNNeil Wahlgren
Mike Taravella discusses the importance of understanding your rent roll as a buyer and an owner. Key Information: What is a Triple Net Lease (NNN) and what does it include? Where is the operational risk? With the tenant! Who pays the expenses? Probably the tenant! Industrial NNN Leases 10-20 year leases Some of these tenants have been there for 30-70 years! Customized the building to their needs Typically no property management needed – 2 year inspections (as needed) Multi-tenant NNN Imagine your NNN as a bond. What is the ability of the tenant to pay their bills? Is cooperate backing the lease? The strength of your lease is the reliability of the cashflows Get quarterly reports and verify the “rosiness” of the picture. Always audit the financials and be aggressive with it! Renewal Risk Sale leaseback – Buy from the owner-operator and then lease it back for 20 years Short timeframes left on the lease are more of the “value add” purchase Debt on NNN CMBS Nonrecourse debt Big prepayment penalties Recourse debt Regional Banks More flexible Better terms Schools, traffic count, etc. doesn’t matter! And the dirtier the better! Find an investment group that does your new asset class already. Most people are willing to help each other!

A Parent's Guide to Teaching Financial Intelligence to Kids
In this episode, Jake and Gino talk about the significance of teaching financial intelligence to kids. Gino shares his personal story on how he was introduced to the whole life insurance concept as a savings tool to secure his financial future for both himself and his family. Jake and Gino map out a parent’s guide to teaching kids about finances early on, and how parents can use whole life insurance to help children protect and secure their own financial futures. Why Buy Whole Life for Your Children: ➡️ Whole life insurance policies will provide coverage for your child’s whole life, as long as the premiums are paid. ➡️ The cost of life insurance depends largely on age and health, thus purchasing a policy when your children are young locks in a lower premium that does not change, even if your child’s health changes as they grow. ➡️ The earlier you start, the sooner the policy begins to build cash value. This cash value can be borrowed to finance medical expenses, cars, college, or even a wedding. ➡️ You can't buy term life policies for children, as they would only provide coverage for a certain number of years. For more on Whole Life vs Term Life, check out this episode of our podcast: https://youtu.be/chnxJX_38DA Gino's better-half, Julia Barbaro, recently released her book "The Cannolis Exploded! Now What?: A Story About Three Different Paths You Can Take In Life". The book teaches children essential personal finance concepts in a fun way. Grab it now for your kids on Amazon: https://amz.run/52ML Key insights from the podcast: 00:00 Introduction. 00:24 Gino's personal story. 01:30 How Gino got introduced to the Whole Life Insurance concept. 02:20 The top ways to put your savings to good use. 03:20 Encouraging children to develop financial intelligence. 06:24 Julia Barbaro's new book on financial education for children.
