Common Questions
STNL FAQ
How does STNL differ from NNN properties?
STNL refers to the single tenant building structure while NNN refers to the lease structure where tenants pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Most STNL properties operate under NNN leases, but the terms are not interchangeable. A multi-tenant property can have NNN leases. We help Denver investors understand the distinction.
What remaining lease term should 1031 exchange investors target for STNL?
Most lenders require seven to ten years of remaining lease term for STNL financing. Shorter lease terms may require larger down payments or offer higher yields to compensate for refinancing risk. We evaluate remaining term against investor holding period and financing requirements.
How do you assess STNL tenant renewal probability?
We evaluate tenant investment in improvements, location performance relative to corporate portfolio, rent to revenue ratios, and competitive alternatives. Tenants with significant leasehold improvements and strong location metrics are more likely to renew at existing or improved terms.
Can I use a 1031 exchange to acquire multiple STNL properties?
Yes. Denver investors can identify up to three STNL properties under the three property rule or more under the two hundred percent rule. Splitting exchange proceeds across multiple STNL assets provides income diversification across tenants and locations.
