Un-Lease Your Business - Episode 418

What are the benefits of owning your commercial building? What are the drawbacks of owning your commercial building? Are you a small business owner, worried about how you're going to fit in your current lease space? Maybe it's too small, maybe it's too big, and maybe your space could provide an additional source of revenue to your business! Finally, what special milestone is the Crushing Debt Podcast celebrating with this episode? Shawn & George have talked before about the pros and cons of owning versus leasing when it comes to your primary residence and your car, but today, we talk to Paul Neal, author of the book "Un-Lease Your Business: Unlock Wealth, Autonomy and Control By Buying Your Building and Firing Your Landlord." Paul is a commercial real estate financing expert specializing in guiding business owners just like you to buy their first piece of commercial real estate.  George and Shawn talk to Paul about owning versus leasing, business credit, the availability of space for your business, and other related topics. You can find Paul, and get a copy of his book at: www.OwnYourBuildingNow.com, or on Amazon.
