Combining Healthcare and Real Estate - How Demographics and Market Analysis Protect Investors - Austin Hair: Ep #517

The Freedom Founders Podcast - Investing and Financial Freedom for Dentists

Today, we're diving into some niche real estate markets, then broadening out to the general real estate market and the overall economy. I spoke with Austin Hair, a former professional wakeboarder now a real estate operator and managing partner of Leaders Real Estate.

In this episode, we discuss how Austin uses demographic and competition analysis, particularly in the healthcare sector, to look for acquisitions and opportunities for both healthcare providers looking for new locations and investors. Listen in to learn why healthcare real estate is a resilient investment class, the benefits of long-term asset holding, wedding venues as a niche opportunity, mitigating risks via relationships, and the potential for a recession soon.
