Google predicts homes should cost $50,000. http://www.businessinsider.com/google-ceo-larry-pa… When I first heard this number I thought it had to do with the real estate recovery act, which is like a reverse mortgage on your home. http://www.mercurynews.com/health/ci_25947244/obamacare-wrinkle-california-bill-seeks-reduce-states-seizureIt seems it you want to keep your wealth you need to diversify into income properties, which the state cannot seize for health care.

Except tourists and retiring population related health care.

Out of state is tough, just like finding a job out of state, people seem less willing to talk until you are on the ground.Generational Tech Gap: Much like healthcare, this business is a bit old-fashioned.

You're probably looking at 40%ish of that profit going to taxes including ordinary income fed and state, Affordable health care Act surcharge, and self employment taxes.

My background is in healthcare and administration.

Yes, I forgot to mention that your REIA may be able to offer a health care plan.
