sale leaseback transac on and what are some of the benefits
that are derived from a prac ce group who is considering this type of
transac on?

defini on,isarealestatetransac onwhereanowner/occupant
ofthebuildingisnowdesiroustoselltheassetandcreateanewlong
term leaseback with the new purchaser upon close of escrow. The
lease will contain terms and provisions sucient to support a sale to
the purchaser at an agreed value and price that is advantageous to
both par es. The main factor that we hear from prac ces who own
their own real estate is that they no longer wish to carry the liability
and headaches that ownership in real estate entails. Theyd rather
focus on providing quality care to their pa ents, which is of utmost
importanceintodayschanginghealthcareenvironment.Theylikethe
