I recently met a doctor who is interested in "getting into real estate".

If you don't get your properties rented at the beginning of a semester or school year, you may end up holding vacant properties for many months (unless you seriously lower the rent, or take less desirable tenants).In my area, college rentals that cash flow are hard to find (all the sellers are hoping some doctor-daddy will buy their overpriced property for some spoiled princess).It can be a good business (especially with parental guarentees), but you've really really got to know your market.

If you want to be a doctor, nurse or lawyer though, you should finish.If you know you will be doing real estate I would find a great mentor and work for free!

No one ever takes the time to consider that maybe you had some medical bills, tried to keep things going but lost your job and just couldn't pull out of the spiral.

How about:Get a doctor to apply for a 20% down at a commercial lender.Get a tenant buyer that will pay 20% over PITI (rent plus option payment)You have less risk with TBer LO than Land Contract.********************************************2.

I believe it will be packed with the local McCain voters seeking mouse entertainment as a form of self medication to deal with the reality that we're going to be socialists for the next 8 years.

Next year I will take some more classes and apply to medical school while working close to full time.

As far as I understand LLC's in Canada only exist for companies that cannot be protected from liability under corporate law: i.e. doctors or accountants.

I believe that good real estate agents are worth their weight in gold.Remember, not all Real Estate Agents are alike just as not all Doctors or Contractors or any other profession are alike.To group us in a 'ALL' category does a disservice not only to us, but to the categorizer as well.

The risks he points to are:1) Borrowing Too Heavily2) Selling your property too quickly3) Using ARMs to get a cheap loan - using adjustable mortgages in a rising interest rate environment is a dangerous formula4) Not having a plan for financial emergencies such as medical emergencies5) Skipping a property inspection because you just have to get the deal.
