His company, CARR, currently operates in over 45 states, and has helped more than 4,200 healthcare providers or practices across the country to close commercial real estate deals. Although commercial real estate is more complicated than residential real estate, as Colin explains, if you’re willing to take the plunge and learn the ropes, it will be well worth it! Tune in to this episode to hear about it all, from what the due diligence process in the commercial real estate space looks like, to your financing options to the length of time you can expect to wait before closing a deal. The market may be softer than it has been in recent years, but Colin believes there are still some incredible opportunities out there to pursue. About Today's Guest Colin Carr began his real estate career at the age of 19 by managing multi-family apartment complexes in the greater Lansing, Michigan area. Colin moved to Denver, Colorado in his early twenties and continued in property management, where he managed several mid and high-rise apartment complexes near downtown Denver. He received his broker’s license at 23 and began representing local, regional, and national companies with their commercial real estate needs. Initially, Colin represented both landlords, sellers, tenants, buyers, and investors across a broad spectrum of commercial real estate specialties, including: office, industrial, retail, land, and investment real estate. After almost a decade of real estate experience that spanned numerous areas of exposure, and with several hundred completed real estate transactions on his resume, Colin was drawn to the Healthcare field and began focusing exclusively on healthcare related transactions.
