I've seen these types of business arrangements executed before whereby lawyers, therapists, barbers, CPA's, etc establish their businesses in "historical" districts (for lack of a better descriptive) and in some cases live in the same building or in the mother-in-law building out back.

Good evening BP,I work full time as a teacher, part time as a behavioral therapist and I am a church musician.

(note: I am living in Roseburg, OR right now, but as a travel therapist, will be moving to WA very soon)

I live in a very rural area north of Asheville, NC which does not have much going on as far as real estate movement so I’m looking at other areas.Asheville is hot right now and has set record sales/prices for 2015.This has put the little inventory that is available out of my price range.Asheville would be my long term goal.According to Zillow (which I’m not sure how accurate it is) market health index for Asheville is 9.4/10.Other areas I’m considering are Greenville, SC (market health index 7.8/10 ) and Johnson City, TN (index of 5.9/10), both with more inventory in my price range.Asheville is 35 minutes from my house, Greenville 2 hours, and Johnson City 1 hour.I have made contact with a realtor in the Greenville area and that area really looks like it has potential.I am a Nurse and my wife is a Physical Therapist so we have W2 income and would not need to live off flipping.I also have 3 days off a week to manage rehabs, plus downtime at work for research/studying markets.

I am a home health physical therapist and I drive around rural ala alabama all day and know small cities very well that most would not. 

I am looking forward to contributing my experiences.Signed: "Physical therapist by day, real estate investor by night"

Currently, we both work full time as Physical Therapists.  

That said, be Extremely careful turning down someone if say they have a note from a therapist or doctor saying they need a dog.  

Professionally I am a therapist, but my interest for that field has faded long ago and now I am ready invest my time into my passion and interest in real estate.I have a lot of great information regarding real estate investing and I would love to hear some recommendations on where some one should start or shouldn't start, based on your own experiences or just from trial and error. 

Do you have a family therapist?
