Most people get into MTRs with the intention of renting to traveling medical professionals but they’re only a small sliver of the MTR market.

First the government allowed it to bring attention to the "Occupy" movement.

Yeah..ok...And all teachers should have kids first...All doctors should have lots of medical issues before they can practice....All dentists should have lot of dental issues before they can practice...Every waiter should owner a restaurant before they can wait tables....Every car salesman should have bought multiple new cars before selling any....I get your point..... it would be great if every realtor had to have real life home ownership under their belt, so they have that BTDT experience..... but not gonna happen

Kirsten,When selling a home, I have not noticed appraisers paying any attention to the condition of sale.

As  newcomer to real estate, my partner, Calvin Brault, and I, currently are working in the medical field at various hospitals nationwide.

Think medical, hospital without insurance for a month, just as a possible example.I make money when deals close.

It didn’t work out for me because according to the formula my “coach” provided, this deal did not include at least a 10% profit, and I didn’t care that it was a 6% profit, it was a good profit, and it wasn’t going to be the only deal, but I pitched it to the private money partners I was given access, but It wasn’t jumped on fast enough before another investor snatched it up for $1.3 mil all cash within a couple of days of my walking it.This was the problem with this “coaching” program… all my potential deals fell through because there never was at least a 10% profit, so I couldn’t get attention quick enough from the private money partners before another investor came in with all cash.

A lot of sellers are burned-out landlords who like the idea of "passive income"/mailbox money after years of chasing late rent payments, dealing with tenant BS and maintaining the property (I use quotes for "passive income" b/c no income is truly passive IMO, a wise seller will still pay attention to what's happening with the property in case they need to take it back, but collecting payments like a bank is generally easier than collecting them like a landlord, you can set up ACH with the buyer's bank or hire a loan processing company to handle it). 

I'm not terribly worried but I am concerned and paying attention.

Lots of time and attention to detail was necessary.
