Investors are always chasing two features in any investment property: durability and duration of income, according to Matt Bear, founder of Bear Real Estate Advisors. Healthcare offers both, and it's the reason why investors are so bullish on the asset class post pandemic.

Bear is offering insights into the resilience of healthcare investment market at the GlobeSt.com Healthcare conference currently underway, where he is speaking on the Standing Out From the Crowd: The Resilience of Medical Office panel. Shawn Janus, national director of Healthcare at Colliers; Rus Gudnyy, SVP of investments at Montecito Medical Real Estate; and Bettina R. Hunt, SVP of Leasing at Healthcare Management of America, Inc. will join him on the panel.

Bear has found that durability and duration of income have driven investor interest and helped to stabilize the asset class through a downturn. "Durability speaks to credit, in this case the hospital system's credit and how important the location is to the area. It tends to be a very durable income," Bear tells GlobeSt.com. "Duration speaks to the length of the lease term, and generally doctors sign 15-year lease terms. Those two factors continue to be the reason why people invest in medical."
