The life of a surgeon is busy just as much as it is professional and with the healthcare environment and economy being as unstable as it is, keeping these professionals buckled down with real estate doesn’t make sense. A more recommended idea for surgeons such as Terry Simpson MD (http://www.southwestweightloss.com/default/about-our-practice/meet-the-team/our-surgeons) who are investing into the workplace is to bring a real estate developer into the picture.
“A physician isn’t a real estate expert, let alone even a healthcare real estate expert. Why are they putting so much money into the ownership of the building? On top of that, they don’t have the bandwidth or the time to manage real estate,” says Mr. France. “Not to forget to mention they also don’t want to put all their money in one basket. Surgeons want to own a building for themselves, it keeps the pesky physicians from interrupting, but the bad economy has them realizing that real estate isn’t the investment it once was and now there is less capital to invest.”
