On the other hand, what sort of assistance are you looking for with your pursuits?

Congrats on your recent graduation and pursuit of REI! 

If you would be a successful real estate investor you may find medicine an unprofitable distraction.So, I'm going to offer you one of my more conventional concepts: Invest for income, and use that income to fund your life or, in this case, your more altruistic intentions: the pursuit of medicine.Once you've built your financial future, restart your medical studies so that when you are prepared to go into practice you won't be distracted by the financial needs of everyday life and you can focus solely on your patients' needs and your oath to their well being.Purely my opinion ...

Would it ok for me to pursuit them. 

Right now I have lawyers currently working on the loan but for the mean time, I just hope it doesn't greatly affect me in my pursuit of a loan.

The minute integrity goes away you have lost yourself and your soul in pursuit for the almighty dollar.If I found out someone was misleading like that regarding proof of funds I would not want to work with them.  

I would imagine that it has less to do with what you say and more to do with how you say it.He already said that he likes your drive and your continuous pursuit of knowledge.

Actually, I think you are a step ahead in looking at the "something more..." aspects as folks just looking to make a set amount of money may get distracted or discouraged and shift to other investments or pursuits. 

Either find property managers to take over the part you don't like or sell and find other investment pursuits that suit you and thereby create less stress.

expense deductionSo, like another poster mentioned, I knew that I needed an additional source of income to fund my REI pursuits, as the returns that I am getting on my 401K now is pretty good (one of my parents retired 4 years ago with only her 401K mutual fund investments (drawing 4% of total) and one rental property (600/mo cash flow, condo paid off), and believe me, life is good for her, so there is no "doom and gloom" if you have only a 401K as a retirement vehicle).Although many may disagree, I personally would advise against dropping your 401K investment to save money for REI.
