You may be thinking there's a big stretch between the two goals, but the long term accounts for kids, giving back, handing off to PM, inflation, healthcare, hiccups, etc.

It will be a good cross between my healthcare and real estate experience.

The demographic has broadened and strengthened the demand in real estate throughout the state.Job growth in Arizona has steadily risen to twice the national rate in areas such as healthcare, retail and financial sectors.

Now I'm on my own and wonder how other investors (self employed) handle the health care issue.

My name is Baraa Shaker, a seasoned and well-rounded Service and Operations Manager within the financial and healthcare industries seeking to transition my career and grow within the real estate industry.

From the food industry to healthcare, construction, the list goes on and on.

There are several factors that make Northern Colorado and Fort Collins specifically such a strong market for real estate sales and rentals.We have great, diverse job base including a huge tech, healthcare, breweries and university for jobs.We're consistently named as a top place to live attracting employers and workers to consider the move.

Everyone knows how high health care is, so think of how little $300,000 really is.  

I am in the same boat as you (though not in the position to do this full time right now as I have healthcare agencies to run) but am looking for other locals to partner with on flips and investment opportunities.

I think it is worse than the healthcare situation but I fear the eventual "solution" will be similarly counterproductive.
