Traveling healthcare workers often work 2nd or 3rd shift so blackout curtains and a sound machine are nice.

The local economy is supported by several diverse sectors, including healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, which sustain employment levels and underpin rental demand.

I have gone all in investing in this area, with the military population, tourism demand, healthcare population, etc - it is attractive for so many reasons.

Ohio (Columbus, Cleveland): Offers more bang for your buck with steady rental needs, thanks to schools and healthcare.

I guess we will have to make some choices. what do you think about the areas just a bit south like palm arbor or crystal beach ?

The idea being if mom needs to sell her junky house to a cash buyer in order pay for the care facility plus doesn't have to deal with repairs then hopefully your senior health care network contacts will remember you when they run across this which is supposedly often. 

This was due to desirability, affordability, limited supply due to geography and laws protecting open space coupled with very high demand due to net in-migration of high-earners/wealthy people, and perhaps most importantly a diverse job market in recession-proof sectors like education, government, defense, healthcare, etc. not just tech, energy or manufacturing that can be boom/bust. 

The horror stories are people buying too cheap and buying bad houses.Lots of great opportunities in Metro Detroit.LogicalPM can manage.We just heavily recommend not buying the cheapest property or getting tricked by a wholesaler on a $15k “great opportunity”.Just buy the good stuff.Metro Detroit (my rental portfolio is here)Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1200-$1500ROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $250-$350/doorAppreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)Location: C+, B- (suburbs and certain markets)We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, mortgage, Amazon fulfillment, and more jobs.The bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties.

I'm particularly interested in finding my first HouseHack in the Los Angeles area.Outside of real estate, I enjoy staying active, healthcare, and self-development/learning.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I am a healthcare professional, and has been for over 20 years.
