Will Humphreys (speaker) explains the financial advantages of a business owner also owning the building where the business operates. He gives a personal example: he ran four-to-five locations, exited the business while owning two buildings, and reports that building ownership provided tax benefits, flexibility to reduce rent in slow months, and long-term net-worth gains as property values increased. He cites Ed Drummond: "it's not timing the market... it's time in the market."

Chapters

Sometimes the value of the building is worth as or more than the value of the business. So I had four to five locations and when I exited I had ownership in two of the buildings. And it was so amazing to me how that, how that played out. Because as one of my friends, Ed Drummond says, who's a real estate expert, he's like, it's not timing the market of real estate, it's time in the market. And so what you're saying is paralleled with that, you know, private practice owners who have their own business, if they own their own building while they're doing this thing called owning the business. There's all these like short term advantages, tax wise for owning the building. Not to mention. Before I continue my Collin, there were times where we, we would have a financially slow month and so we just reduced our rent that month because there was a little bit of a gap there. So we were able to make some adjustments that helped the business in a way that a landlord wouldn't been able to do. So sometimes the value of the building is worth as or more than the value of the business. And after selling the pract having that business, the building, sorry, the income from the building come in has been huge and my net worth has continued to scale over time because that building continues to become more and more valuable.
