It'd be great for you to have a checkup,  think about it as a financial doctor, to make sure you have all the needed legal documents, tax planning strategies, estate planning and education planning!   

., a doctor with $1m in the bank making .5% will be happy to buy a $500k house in cash that throws off 4%.   

Suppose, two doctors marry each other and both have the exact same education and both work at a hospital.

If it is not a joke, I suggest you have your doctor prescribe Risperdal or maybe landlords need to pass an IQ test because some of the questions I see on this forum are not sourced from common sense or an IQ above 50.

West coast investors competition for the assets and their mind set was simply as long as someone else can pay the on going expenses and maybe just a 100 or 200 negative its still a good investment hedge against inflation and most of these investors have day jobs that make significant incomes .That sounds like why Realtors and Financial Advisors love Doctors.
