Leasing Medical Office Space

Increasingly, medical professionals and investors are finding that leasing office space can be mutually beneficial. First, by opting out of ownership of the property, the physicians and staff are able to receive substantial captial in exchange. This money can be used for growth or improvements, while also paying off tenant fees. Second, the medical staff can choose to retain or forgo responsibilities such as utilities and maintenance, depending upon the type of lease. As for the investor, medical real estate presents a unique opportunity, as the healthcare sector remains largely immune to trying economic times.
