Previously, we talked about the most common way dentists try to find practices for sale (brokers) but it's NOT the best. If you spend 20% of your search time with brokers, this episode talks about exactly where you should spend the other 80% of your time - other dentists. The best practices are often off-market. And the only way to find those good practices for sale is to have a robust network of other dentists who know, and like you. And...who know you're looking for a practice to buy. 

 

This could be the most valuable podcast in the whole season. Which also means it's the hardest and most likely to be ignored. If you do what I recommend in this episode, everything else about the practice purchase process will be easier.

"I can't buy a practice, I need to pay off my massive loan first!" This is the first thing many people bring up when I speak to them about practice ownership. And I get it! If your loan is anything like the national average for new dentists, then it's certainly nothing to sneeze at. But not only is ownership still possible, even with a hefty loan over your head, it's also the best thing you can do to get out from under that student loan debt. Don't believe me? Listen in and I'll explain.
