In this episode of Startup Unscripted, hosts Michael D'Incio and John Bertagni wrap up Shark Week with a bang by diving deep into one of the most overlooked yet critical components of launching or acquiring a dental practice: The Lease
Joining them is Andrew from Crown Tenant Advisors, a seasoned real estate expert who specializes in dental and healthcare spaces.
From the complexities of assignment clauses to real-life horror stories where a bad lease torpedoed a transition, this episode is packed with raw insights and practical advice. Andrew breaks down why working with a healthcare-specific real estate advisor can mean the difference between thriving and barely surviving—and why landlords’ fine print could be your biggest liability.
Expect:
- Expert breakdowns of lease assignment, term lengths, and lender requirements
- A behind-the-scenes look at site selection strategies
- Why demographics matter—but street-level insight matters more
- How to frame rural opportunities for hesitant dentists
If you're planning a startup, acquisition, or just want to future-proof your practice's real estate, this one is a must-listen.
Andrew Riepe, Founder and President of Crown Tenant Advisors, spent his entire commercial real estate career working with healthcare clients. He started Crown Tenant Advisors with a focus on representing the needs of tenants and buyers in the healthcare industry.
