Step #1

Determine for yourself if investing in NNN commercial properties is the correct move for you.

Do so by talking with as many people possible whom have experience owning NNN properties. Ask them the advantages and disadvantages. Ask them what they recommend.

Speak with your accountant or financial planner (if you have one) and get their recommendations.

Speak with your legal counsel to get their opinion.
