Option · NNN

NNN commercial real estate.

Single-tenant retail or industrial property on a triple-net lease. The tenant pays taxes, insurance, and maintenance. You collect rent and watch the principal compound.

Typical yield
5–7%
Hold horizon
7–10 yrs
Closing time
3–4 wks

This fits if…

  • You want predictable monthly income with a defined cap rate.
  • You’re comfortable holding for 7–10 years until the natural exit.
  • You don’t want to manage anything operationally.

Probably not the right call if…

  • You need liquidity within 12 months.
  • You want upside tied to oil and gas prices.
  • You’re looking for under-$500K replacement; most NNN deals start there.
Option · DST

Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs).

Fractional interest in institutional-grade real estate, professionally managed. The seller buys shares in a trust that owns the underlying property. Fully passive.

Typical yield
4–6%
Hold horizon
7–10 yrs
Closing time
~1 wk

This fits if…

  • You’re tight on the 45-day identification clock.
  • You want institutional-grade exposure without sole ownership.
  • You’re comfortable with limited liquidity until the trust’s eventual sale.

Probably not the right call if…

  • You want operational control.
  • You need certainty on the exit date.
  • You want to refinance to pull cash later (DSTs disallow this).
Option · FARMLAND

Farmland and ranchland.

Productive agricultural real property. Lease-rate income with long-term land appreciation. Tangible. Often the right answer for inherited owners who want to stay in soil rather than spreadsheets.

Typical yield
1–4%
Hold horizon
5+ yrs
Closing time
4–6 wks

This fits if…

  • You like the idea of being able to drive to your property.
  • You’re building generational hold positions.
  • Land appreciation matters more to you than monthly cash flow.

Probably not the right call if…

  • You need 5%+ current cash yield.
  • You don’t want to deal with lease renewal cycles.
  • You’re uncomfortable with farm-specific risks (weather, commodity cycles).
Option · Royalties

Oil & gas royalties.

Peregrine's specialty, and the reason most clients come to us. You acquire a diversified portfolio of producing royalty interests — a share of monthly revenue from wells across multiple operators and basins — with no tenants, no management, and no capital calls.

Typical yield
Varies
Hold horizon
Generational
Closing time
2–4 wks

This fits if…

  • You want passive monthly income without tenants or management.
  • You're tight on the 45-day clock — royalties can be identified right away.
  • You want to diversify out of a single building or market.

Probably not the right call if…

  • You want a fixed, predictable monthly figure (royalty income moves with price and production).
  • You need to refinance the asset to pull cash out later.
  • You're uncomfortable with commodity-price exposure.
