Hamp,I appreciate the advice.Due to moving back to Colorado, I would probably shoot for long term rentals, so possibly medical school or people stationed at FSH.

I am a traveling healthcare worker and my two major goals are buying multi family properties and going back to school.

I am still staying at home, my girlfriend has one more year of law school and then we will stay with my parents for one year before looking to buy our primary home with joint income.
