Industrial Properties
Industrial property identification for 1031 exchange buyers seeking warehouses, distribution centers, flex space, and manufacturing facilities in all 50 states.
Triple Net Lease Perspective
Passive income backed by tenant responsibility
Triple net (NNN) tenants agree to cover taxes, insurance, and most property maintenance, so ownership feels more like collecting rent than managing a daily operations diary. When paired with investment-grade tenants, such as national convenience, pharmacy, or quick-service restaurant brands, the income stream stays predictable even when the cycle swings.
Absolute NNN leases
These 10-to-25-year corporate-guaranteed commitments hand every cost burden to the tenant so you simply hold title and collect rent. Tenants like Dollar General and Walgreens treat the property as their own brand asset, lowering your time spent on oversight.
Regular NNN leases
Some NNN structures keep a handful of landlord responsibilities such as roof or parking maintenance, but they still deliver steady cash flow and inflation-hedged rent bumps. They pair well with tenants such as Starbucks or industrial operators who may share a limited list of expenses.
Whether you lean toward absolute or more collaborative triple net leases, these assets flex across states, partner with high-credit tenants, and magnify the benefits of a well-structured 1031 exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are industrial properties popular with 1031 exchange investors?
Industrial properties offer long-term leases, creditworthy tenants, lower maintenance costs, and strong demand driven by e-commerce and logistics growth.

How do industrial property cap rates compare to other asset classes?
Industrial cap rates have compressed significantly due to strong institutional demand, but they still offer competitive risk-adjusted returns compared to single tenant NNN retail and multifamily. Cap rates vary by location, tenant credit quality, lease term, and building class. We help Washington DC exchange investors compare industrial opportunities against other asset classes in all 50 states to find the best fit for their income requirements and risk tolerance.
