Your clinic’s real estate decisions can quietly make—or break—your profitability. In this episode of She Slays the Day, Lauryn sits down with Colin Carr, Founder and CEO of CARR Healthcare Realty, to unpack why leases, buildouts, renewals, and location strategy are some of the most overlooked yet financially impactful decisions practice owners make. Colin explains where providers commonly lose money, how landlords think during negotiations, and what healthcare professionals should be doing differently to protect cash flow, reduce risk, and build long-term leverage through smarter clinic real estate decisions.

Key Takeaways

• Why real estate is often the largest hidden expense in a healthcare practice
• Common lease mistakes that cost practice owners tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars
• How negotiation leverage shifts depending on timing, renewals, and market conditions
• The difference between landlord-friendly deals and provider-protected agreements
• How strategic real estate decisions directly impact profitability, scalability, and exit options
