It was my understanding from reading this newsgroup that only
dentists
receive these kinds of offers.

Only the older dentists get such an offer. Us young guns have to
settle for
$790k at 4.25%...but at least they fix the rate for 5 years.

Is that why you have an interest only loan?

I have an interest only loan because: a) it makes no sense to tie up
my
money by paying principal on a home that's appreciating 20-25% per
year in
value, b) my business won't be paid off until 2009...at which time I
will
get a $6000/month "raise".

It is obvious the "King" has no clue. The capital investment in a
dental practice is as intense, if not more than just about any other
medical type practice. But from a repeat business, there are not many
that are so lucrative......except maybe for M.J.'s plastic surgeon.

5 1/2 years ago, I spent $425k buying a dental practice with old
equipment. I've spent an additional $150,000+ over the last 5 1/2 years
updating equipment to keep things modern and the technology cutting edge.
There's no bilking going on, as my fees fall right at or just under UCR
for my area. My hygienist is booked through the second week of May, and I
don't have an opening for anything but emergencies over the next 3 weeks.
I've even had to open up the next 2 Fridays...which is really starting to
irk me as it's cutting into my fishing and boating time. Hopefully things
slow down before the pelagics (kings, tarpon, permits) move back through
my area.

The equipment cost is what really shocked me in the last couple of dental
offices I did, The one practice opted for partial walls, so that two rooms
could share xray machines, hand sinks etc.
