Single-tenant, triple net (NNN) lease. Acquired for a private buyer and well suited as a 1031 exchange replacement property.
QEM Estates represented the buyer on this freestanding Dollar General in Ocala, Florida, a single-tenant, triple net (NNN) lease investment. The property closed at $1.67 million on a 6.75 percent cap rate, with 5 years of primary lease term remaining at closing.
For the buyer, the result is a hands-off income position backed by one of the largest discount retailers in the country, with the tenant covering the property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Single-tenant NNN assets like this one are also a common 1031 exchange replacement property, and QEM worked only for the purchaser from the first offer through closing.

This is a single-tenant, freestanding discount retail store on a triple net (NNN) lease. Dollar-format retailers run lean, high-frequency stores that hold up across economic cycles, which is part of why their net-lease properties are a staple for income-focused buyers. Under the NNN structure the tenant carries the property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, leaving the owner in a near-passive position.
Under a triple net (NNN) lease the tenant carries the three major costs of the property. The owner collects rent with minimal landlord responsibility.
On a buyer-representation engagement, QEM works only for the purchaser, never the seller. For this deal that meant testing the rent against local comparables, reading the lease for landlord obligations and renewal options, confirming the remaining term, and guiding the buyer through due diligence to a clean close. The 6.75 percent cap rate reflected the balance between the tenant, the lease term, and the Ocala market.

The cap rate is a property’s annual net income divided by its price, so a 6.75% cap means the income yields about 6.75 percent of the purchase price in the first year. Tenant strength, lease term, and location all move the number. We break this down in NNN Properties for Sale: Beyond the Cap Rate.
Yes. Single-tenant NNN properties are a common 1031 replacement because ownership is largely passive. See our 1031 Exchange Properties page for how the exchange timeline works.
As a buyer’s representative, QEM worked only for the purchaser: underwriting the deal, reviewing the lease, and managing due diligence through closing. Learn more on our NNN Buyer Representation page.
