We are planning to get under contract on a 5500 sq ft office building with several short term tenants (month to month), and one healthcare tenant with a long term lease.

And once the cost of new constructions goes down because the robots don't need no stinking paid time off or health care benefits, we're going to see massive leveling of obsolete housing in many urban centers and new apartment building going up.

Regarding ability to weather recessions, what I like seeing in Montgomery is the two largest employment industries are the government and healthcare, both of which are steady no matter the economic environment.

It's a healthcare business with a real estate play. 

I work full time in healthcare and my husband was let go in March due to Covid from his IT job so we are looking to start a business and set up a better retirement.  

I've been a lurking member of the site for about two years now but its time to get active.A little bit about me, I'm a 28 year old M.E.P. engineer (Mechanical Electrical Plumbing) for a General Contractor working primarily in new healthcare construction.Since I became a member I purchased my primary residence and also another property which is my first rental, duplex in the Capital Region of NY.My long term goals are to purchase more buy and hold properties and eventually link up with other investors to form a conglomerate of rental properties and developing new construction.Happy Holidays ! 

Regus, Industrious, GreenDesk, WeWork, Novel etc have come up along with student housing via large medical school, research, healthcare presence. 

Not easy to do as it is a big time commitment for all involved.Lastly, I like to make sure I am a short drive to an airport (less then 30 minutes) and have access to very good healthcare. 

@Scott ShriderWhile you already got a ton of great feedback on the books, events and podcasts on syndication, ALF and/or MC, and Healthcare in general is a unique asset class and requires an operator to work on the business and be involved.

It sounds like you're aware that a withdrawal could potentially bump you into another tax bracket, but if you are currently qualifying for anything based on income--financial aid for your kids' school, Marketplace healthcare subsidies--you might screw yourself right out of it with a big withdrawal.
