These leases are triple net leases “NNN” whereas the tenants are required to pay substantially all operating expenses, including all costs to maintain and repair the roof and structure of the building, and the cost of all capital expenditures, in addition to base rent.

We have some information on Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) also. Real Estate Investment Trusts “REIT” were created by Congress in 1960 to provide a tax efficient means for private individuals to invest in commercial real estate. Individuals can invest in commercial real estate through either direct ownership of real property or an investment in real estate securities, i.e. stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or REITs. Owners of commercial real estate are generally able to depreciate the value of property improvements over time, as you can check with your Tax Professional on this. This depreciation expense can be used to offset ordinary income and reduce income tax.
