I am a busy medical professional and don't have the time to try and find off market deals and also don't have the time to constantly peruse the MLS looking for deals.

A robust medical community also. 50%+ of the population here are renters. 

I do have those who show up stating “but my cats are clean” or “it was only one eviction” which I just say no, but I’ve also had those who may be slightly off income but have a qualified co-signer, or a lower credit score but it was for a medical bill or student loan, and they worked out well.

Medical/physician programs are typically best for primary or investment purchases..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo he is a national lender and refinance savant that's worked closely with me for over two decades.

You can specify the coverage level for the dwelling, household furnishings, loss of use, liability, and medical payments to others.

We also used Sarah's shopping list to help us furnish them properly for medical travelers; she has great suggestions with links to the best prices.

I do not provide medical interventions for mental health problems.

No matter where you choose to move, you are perfectly set up (if the money works) to house hack with your wife in one unit of a two-family and then to mid-term rent the other unit because of your medical connections.

We also beautified the exterior, fixed the roof, have now rented the bottom unit to a medium term tenant as Albany Medical Center is a 5 minute walk away.

Land area spans from Rio Grande City to South Padre Island.I think it's not heard of often bc we're not as mainstream as other big cities and we are also a border town so cartel violence tends to be the issue that comes up.. but Mcallen has actually been ranked top 3 in one of the safest cities to live in in 2023.
