Real estate investing and health care are similar industries in that both require balancing complex regulations with the ability to assess and respond to market needs. Success in each depends on strategic decision-making, risk management, and a focus on long-term value creation, whether through properties or patient outcomes. Additionally, both fields emphasize building trust and relationships while navigating economic and social factors influencing demand.
