Real Estate [Abstract] |
Real Estate | Note 2 – Real Estate: Real Estate – Portfolio Leases. At December 31, 2025, NNN's real estate portfolio had a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.2 years and consisted of 3,648 leases classified as operating leases and an additional three leases accounted for as direct financing leases. The following is a summary of the structure of the leases in the Property Portfolio, although the specific terms of each lease can vary significantly. In most cases, the Property leases provide for initial terms of 10 to 20 years and a triple-net lease structure, pursuant to which the tenant bears responsibility for operating expenses of the Property, including utilities, real estate taxes and assessments, property and liability insurance, maintenance, repairs and capital expenditures. Certain Properties are subject to leases under which NNN retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses associated with the Property. NNN's leases provide for annual base rental payments (payable in monthly installments), the majority of which include negotiated increases in rent as a result of increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or set fixed increases. NNN's leases often provide the tenant with one or more multi-year renewal options, subject to the same terms and conditions provided under the initial lease term, including rent increases. NNN's lease term is based on the non-cancellable base term unless economic incentives make it reasonably certain that an option period to extend the lease will be exercised, in which case NNN includes the renewal options. Some of the leases also provide that in the event NNN wishes to sell the Property subject to that lease, NNN first must offer the lessee the right to purchase the Property on the same terms and conditions as any offer which NNN intends to accept for the sale of the Property.

Some leases provide for a free rent period or scheduled rent increases throughout the lease term. Such amounts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, NNN recognized $1,921,000, $294,000 and $7,453,000, respectively, of net-straight-line accrued rental income, net of reserves. During the year ended December 31, 2023, one tenant was reclassified to accrual basis for accounting purposes due to their improved qualitative and/or quantitative credit factors, which resulted in an increase of accrued rental income in the amount of $5,573,000. The following is a schedule of undiscounted cash flows to be received on noncancellable operating leases as of December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):
2026 |  | $ | 873,239 |
2027 |  |  | 844,659 |
2028 |  |  | 797,780 |
2029 |  |  | 761,231 |
2030 |  |  | 726,275 |
Thereafter |  |  | 5,125,734 |
|  | $ | 9,128,918 |
Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the tenant, the above table only presents undiscounted cash flows due during the current lease terms. In addition, this table does not include amounts for potential variable rent increases that are based on the CPI or future contingent percentage rents which may be received based on the tenant's sales volume, per the lease.

Real Estate – Impairments NNN periodically assesses its long-lived real estate assets for possible impairment whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. As a result of NNN's review of long-lived real estate assets, including identifiable intangible assets, NNN recognized real estate impairments, net of recoveries as summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands):
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Total real estate impairments, net of recoveries |  | $ | 28,602 |  |  | $ | 6,632 |  |  | $ | 5,990 |

Occupied |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 9 |  |  |  | 3 |
The valuation of impaired assets, including assets held for sale, is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties, which are Level 3 inputs. NNN may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.
