Our job market is also based on largely on academia and health care, both stable/growing industries.

Although I’m in healthcare finance now, not making a whole lot money, I do have construction background, so I’m not afraid of a flip either.Then comes the question of how to get the mortgage for these properties...

Luckily I had already secured a job at Frito-Lay as a sales manager in San Jose, CA which provided me with excellent healthcare while I waited for the Army to process me out and the VA to process me in.

The rent is very low relative to other MSA’s, the housing is cheap relative to wages, insurance, taxes, healthcare, costs across the board are lower.

works for a major healthcare system in a white-collar job with 100k+ income 4x rent,  she side hustles cleaning AirBnBs in the area.

Location is pretty key, near 76/95, hospitals and universities, I know a lot of Healthcare professionals live there.

It is also known for its growth in green initiatives, cyber security, aerospace, and bio-tech/healthcare. 

Do you have a plan for covering healthcare costs? 

If this all checks out, I proceed to step 2: Note: for traveling healthcare professionals I will accept a fully executed employment contract in lieu of the background check. 2 - draft lease agreement.

A little about myself: I have a full time job in healthcare and am looking to broaden my horizons and learn about RE investing.
