I have a friend in Utah who does locums for the medical field. 

Also, in a mainstream asset class like value-added multifamily, I see no reason to take a risk on a sponsor that doesn't have full real estate cycle experience and didn't lose money.

.#2   Get a small commercial medical office or something, I can get one that will generate positive cash flow for 3-5 years, but it's scary to think about what can happen after. 

I'm looking at a medical & legal office building for a commercial purchase. 

Medical bills, you will have to pay, negotiate a buy out with them, or declare bankruptcy. 

I would like to see alternative and sustainable design and build included more in the main stream,  ie: Prefabricated strawbale panels, hempcrete, recycled building materials ect.

Again, most short sale contracts don't allow the original seller to have any monitary gain.I realize things have been difficult, but there is a reason you had to short sale, now it could be because you had a reduction in pay, medical bills, job loss, etc., and at the time you took out the loan, you could afford it, and now you can't.

Rich Rich,I have a neighbor who volunteers for "Operation Smile"; this organization gets volunteer medical staff to travel to under-developed countries and perform surgery for cleft palates (primarily, some other facial deformities are also handled I believe).

It will give you an idea of the asking prices, cap rates, tenants, etc.I read recently, but don’t recall where, claims of a mini-bubble in NNN drug stores (CVS, Walgreens, etc.) and medical offices.

I don't think G+ has really caught on in the mainstream yet, but it seems like the people who do use it on a regular basis tend to be die hard fans.
