Leasing vs. Buying Real Estate for Your Dental Office

Should I lease or buy dental office?

 

I listened to the Dentistry Uncensored podcast with Dr. Howard Farran interviewing Colin Carr who is the CEO of CARR, the nation’s leading provider of commercial real estate services for healthcare tenants and buyers. Howard and Colin both make great points throughout the podcast that I believe you will find valuable now or in the future. The title of the podcast is How to Get into a Dental Office with No Money Down but the discussion covers all career stages from starting out to retirement.

 

Highlights and Discussion:

  • Colin explains that no one size fits all so you should look at all your options

  • 3 out of 4 times the real estate is worth more than the practice upon retirement for those that Colin has seen

  • Many times, after a practice is sold, the buyer leases back the building which provides an income stream for the retiring dentist

  • Interest rates are historically low right now

  • Three top mistakes dentists make with their lease renewal

  • Important information regarding an assignability clause in your lease if you plan to sell your practice in the near future

  • Exclusivity clauses if your location is in high visibility retail

  • Colin’s outlook on real estate, lending, and dentistry

  • Having cash is more important than paying off your student loans for those wanting to buy a practice
