One of the fastest growing industries in the United States right now is the health care industry. Doctors and medical management companies are making millions and many are seeking to invest in medical facilities. Hospitals and medical clinics are springing up across the country, but is the market becoming too competitive? You'll find when you apply for a loan or mortgage in the health care industry that just having a good idea isn't enough. Others have had that idea before. What you need is a good business plan with specifics on how you plan to market and manage your new investment.

 

Healthcare and medical loans, particularly mortgages, are some of the highest dollar value loans you can apply for. Empty space won't be enough if you want to open up an assisted living, congregate care, or independent living facility. Without high end modern medical equipment they will be nothing more than high priced apartments. Those are a good investment too, but not what you're looking for here. When you create your business plan to apply for a healthcare/medical loan, make sure you include specifics.

 

Rehabilitation centers and skilled nursing facilities offer the same type of challenges, and you'll also need to outline how exactly you plan on recruiting your personnel. Medical facilities of any kind have enormous staffing requirements. Can you afford to pay for all of those people and make the commercial mortgage payments on the building every month? Who will your primary tenant be? What type of medical insurance will they be taking? Will they be affected by mandatory health care laws or a lack of primary care physicians? These may not seem like real estate questions, but they're of interest to the lender.
