Frequently Asked Questions
What makes medical office properties suitable for 1031 exchanges?
Medical office properties qualify as like-kind replacement property when held for investment. They offer stable, long-term income from healthcare tenants, who typically sign longer leases and have lower turnover than general office tenants. The healthcare industry's growth and essential nature provide resilience during economic downturns.
How do you evaluate tenant credit for medical office properties?
We review physician group financials, insurance reimbursement structures, patient volume trends, and operational history. We assess tenant business model sustainability, market position, and lease renewal probability. For ASCs and specialty groups, we also evaluate regulatory compliance and accreditation status.
What building features are important for medical office properties?
Key features include adequate parking, flexible floor plans, specialized HVAC systems, plumbing for exam rooms and procedure areas, and compliance with healthcare regulations (ADA, HIPAA, etc.). We evaluate properties against these criteria and assess whether building features support medical use and tenant retention.
Can you help identify medical office properties within my identification window?
Yes. We work with brokers specializing in medical office properties and can quickly identify available assets matching your criteria. We provide property summaries, lease abstracts, tenant credit analysis, and market analysis to support your identification letter submission.
