For busting your butt, Amazon:✔ Pays above market wages✔ Provides health benefits (including dental and vision) that are also available to spouses/children✔ Frequently sets up in areas that have high unemployment / poor economic conditions✔ Offers the ability to move up in the company✔ Hires literally hundreds of thousands of unskilled workers - many of which would be on government handouts outherwiseAnd like I said, I'm not a big fan of Amazon.

Preliminary research shows costs of coverage that are 3x to 4x that of my current employer.So my question, to those who are self employed or successfully walked away from your W2, how are you handling health and dental coverage?

On top of that vision, dental and hearing are usually not even covered by a health plan.2.

Currently I'm a sophomore in college on the Pre-Dental track and I would eventually like to invest in real estate.

Medical/Dental/Law students make great renters!

However, my student loan payments from dental hygiene school are limiting my investing power. 

I am a dental student graduating in less than a year, looking to get into a residency in a new place and hoping to acquire a property that I can live in and rent out! 

Im currently not working at the moment and it'll take about 4 months for me to get back to work again (Im a dental hygienist).

Hi Ryan,Just off the top of my head, here are some of my thoughts.Look carefully at the zoning and see if there are other possible uses allowed for it's zoning type (and see if the zoning conforms currently).Such as Med/Dental (prob require an elevator), or whatever besides just office space (is the living space unit non-conforming--is it Grandfathered in, what triggers the end of the Grandfather, has that happened, will a sale make that happen (???)

They tracked debris in everywhere, carpet cleaning had to be done twiceDidn't take showers before going to bed, so all the sheets were ruinedRuined the towels when they did take showers as they werefull of construction crapLeft garbage piled up inside instead of putting it in the exterior trashbinsOverall, we still made some money, but have turned down all construction crews since.IF you were going to pursue your strategy, suggest you rent out by bed (not room) and supply some hygiene basics.
