My aunt is a retired dentist.

Barbershop or dentist office; definite no.

Dentists should not invest in individual properties since it is not scaleable.You guys are entrepreneurs which means all you TIME should be spent on your practice not buying a small rental which is not you highest and best use. 

@Javontai ShamburgerI've never been to Than Merrill's seminar; however, most of the experts we go to today for consult either Doctors or Dentists or even the guys on the field who we freely give our Sundays to watching them running with a ball all have a coach. 

The current tenant is a dentist who has been there for ~15 years.

There is the whole nursing home, 8 cottages that bring in about $5,000/month right now and a whole separate building that used to be a dentist office.

If you plan on being an engineer, doctor, dentist, architect etc then it makes sense.

I am quite close to the dental world (not a dentist) but myself have difficulty gauging the needs for dental services of the community, and what the supply demand ratio is.

@Michael SheridanLLP is for professionals, such as doctors, dentists, accountants, etc. where state laws prohibit their practice to be anything other than sole proprietorships or partners.

So my two dentist husband and wife team that I helped greatly by not raising their rent by hundreds of dollars a month, helped them buy a dental practice (advised them on terms of real estate) gave me 1 month notice to move in dead of winter right after their house closed...I had no idea they were looking.
