Full Time REI: How to afford reasonable family health insurance?

[Manny Montilla]

Hello clan.

I'm doing some research to figure out the savvier ways of wholly focusing on REI as my only "job" while managing health risks for my family and I through a reasonable and comprehensive health plan (while keeping those costs as modest as I can).

Having worked for a large corporation with those benefits largely covered, I've never had to consider what happens when I'm on my own. I'm here now, exploring the REI game and pushing to get my first deal under my belt in the next couple of months, and would love to hear from you all what you've done to secure yourselves (and your loved ones) with solid health coverage while fully digging your heels into this real estate game.

Thanks in advance.
