Invest Without Drama Do you have reservations about becoming a landlord? Triple Net Houses created a program to help investors profit from rental properties without ever having to deal with tenants! I by Carla Fischer n 1903 The Wright Brothers made history in Dayton, Ohio, with their first power airplane flight. One hundred four years later, Peter Julian, CEO of Triple Net Houses, reflects on their short three-year revolution- ary history that began in 2007 as a premiere provider of real estate manage- ment. “We’ve reinvented the way people invest in residential rental real estate,” Ju- lian says proudly. He then adds: “It’s kinda (www.triplenethouses. com) takes all the un- knowns off the table. By purchasing a Triple Net rental, investors will know exactly what their cash flow is going to be for the next ten years. Julian explains: “When Peter Julian we lease the house it’s a triple net lease, which means we pay taxes, insurance and maintenance. Basically we pay all the operating expenses, so there’s nothing our clients have to pay. We man- there. When we rehab a property we pretty much do everything so we know it’s going to be a maintenance-free property. When we finish, it’s almost like a new house.” The company’s record is impressive. “In the year 2009, we collected 97.4 percent of our scheduled rent,” Julian proudly states. “It even amazes me!” In Dayton, market rents range from $595 to $950. The company rents with a one year lease agreement. A typical scenario If an investor buys a Triple Net House, they know exactly what their cash flow is going to be for the next 10 years.

We’re going to get some rain later on, which doesn’t mean a thing for our in- vestors who are from all over the country. The weather rarely has anything to do with our business, unlike the Wright Brothers.” Julian shifts to business quickly explain- ing how he created a NNN (triple net) in- vesting model, which is traditionally only found in commercial real estate transac- tions. “I’ve been a real estate broker for a little over 30 years. I’ve worked with investors my entire career.

But when potential investors get to talking about managing, they’ve all heard the hor- ror stories about tenants, maintenance and all those kinds of things.” So Julian and his team came up with a unique solution. It’s basic and simple, even though it tackles a complicated con- cept. The Triple Net Houses program Realty411Guide.com age the property so there’s no management. Investors will never have to deal with a ten- ant and never have to deal with or pay for maintenance,” Julian explains. The company offers a 10-year NNN (triple net) lease. If investors want to ter- minate early, all they have to do is provide a 60-day written notice. There is no penalty and the investor still owns the property. “It’s a turn-key investment. It pays a high yield and we’re able to buy houses at low cost and rehab them economically. We then pass that deal on to an investor, as a totally turn-key investment. Their total in- volvement after the investment is to collect a payment from us each month, which is electronically deposited into their checking account.
