, some properties in the Mid East around 30 to 40k .  What’s an estimate on how much I would need for the down payment, contractor, property manager, closing cost, agent?

Another friend pays pretty cheap insurance for a family plan and said he went through Obama Care to get the rate.As someone had stated, I've pondered the idea of getting a job just for the benefits and not really focusing on the pay.

SF is tough, but willing to check out a nice street in mid-east Oakland?

That how we ended up with Obama-care. 

would that require a French version to comply with the Canadian import requirements & Spanish to comply with CA TX etc etc :) Nous pourrions enseigner @J Scott à parler français ... he couldn't do any worse than President Obama when he visited :-) [Josh: Apparently I've found another internationalization challenge for BP :-) ]

Take a look at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode50a/usc_sec_50a_00000535----000-.html I found it very informative.As prior service, I used the act to break several leases going back and forth to the Mid East.

I've heard that the profit $100k per build will go attached to my normal taxes as earned income ONLY I would also be taxed under self-employment and the "new" Obama tax!
