20/20 Money Episode # 85 – Getting a Fair Deal: An Optometrist’s Guide to Savvy Real Estate Leases with Colin Carr

June 22, 2020

Hello, and welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Colin Carr. Colin is the founder and CEO of CARR, a nationwide commercial real estate company specifically focused on representing the needs and interest of healthcare providers. Colin has mastered several niches in healthcare real estate and is passionate about helping others maximize their profitability through real estate.

In this conversation, Colin and I cover a wide spectrum of topics. Among them, Colin shares what NOT to do when you see vacant space that you’re interested in, three main ideas to consider when evaluating whether you should lease space vs buy real estate, why having great lease terms increases your practice’s valuation, the timeline for commercial real estate development, and areas to capitalize during a lease renewal and what would a new tenant get if they were coming into this space.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at www.integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, you can also set up a 20-30min Discovery conversation to learn a little bit more about what it means to work with our firm or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks and on-demand webinars.
