I own the buildinghow much rent do I pay myself?

May 30, 2018
Gary I. Glassman, CPA

When you're the veterinary practice owner and the landlord.

It isn't uncommon for a veterinary practice owner to own the hospital building-in which case, said party pays rent to her or himself. But how much? Fetch dvm360 conference speaker Gary Glassman, CPA, has a standard formula to determine what's fair, although it might not be what you think.

"Many people look at their rent cost [as] a percentage of the gross revenue of the practice, but that's truly not the right way to set the rent," Glassman says.

More lease topics

Footing the bill when adding on to a leased veterinary practice.

Check the fine print when signing a building lease.

Checklist to evaluate lease terms.

Instead, Glassman points to a "triple net lease" scenario wherein the tenant pays for utilities, insurance and property taxes. In such an arrangement, the landlord aims for a 10 percent return on investment, "based on the fair market value of the property."

Here's his example: "If my practice building was worth $1 million, then at 10 percent I would basically pay $100,000 in rent per year, divided by 12 and that would become my monthly payment," he says.

Monthly payment to yourself. Enjoy.
