America's vast, aging baby boomer demographic is one reason that O'Connor likes the medical segment, but it's not the only reason.

"We find that a lot of the practices are in relatively healthy condition," O'Connor says. "Their leverage levels tend to be lower in many cases. It is a business that does not have a lot of high highs or low lows."

In a market where there's still a lot of capital, and other sectors of CRE are floundering, O'Connor expects more interest in medical office properties. But interested buyers will run into roadblocks.

"Because of the specialty nature of the property types and the things that you learn by being in the space for a bit, I'm not concerned," he says. "It is a type of property where it's very beneficial to have experience and knowledge. We don't think it's one that, you know, capital readily flows into."

But investors are still taking a wait-and-see approach for the time being, according to O'Connor. "For a small asset class like medical is, it's too early to make any real prognostications," he says. "We do think that it is the right time to be in the market and looking for investment opportunities, which we're trying to put a lot of energy into doing right now."

Right now, O'Connor doesn't see large loads of capital focused on the space. "They may have some other opportunities that are distracting them or maybe presenting themselves," he says. 

Right now, O'Connor sees that capital focused on other targets. "I think if you're an opportunistic fund, you're probably spending a lot more time looking at the hotel sector, than you would be the medical sector. There's probably distress pricing happening there. I'm sure some hotels are in default. Whereas, most medical office buildings have had a performing loan in March or probably still going to have a performing loan [in the future]."
