My previous career was in healthcare as a Physical Therapist Assistant.   

@Brian Garrett I travel Florida for my day job (Healthcare IT sales), and its all of FL. 

I'm a 33 yr old married Austinite Healthcare Software Developer by day, and an enthusiastic RE Investor by night.

I am currently working full-time in healthcare and am pursuing to cover all my families living expenses with our rental portfolio (lean FI) and that timeline would be pushed back if this scenario where to take place. 

@Jeffrey Holst Southeast Michigan is intriguing to me also (I went to school in Ann Arbor)....

You can probably live a better life style on 6k of w2 because of  Benefits  (health care being the big one)  Conventional loans are going to be tough, your income is going to be scrutinized more.  

My wife is an amazing decorator and we are toying with the idea of leaving all furniture/ammenities in the house and renting to mid-term renters (people relocating needing a place while they get settled, healthcare providers doing residencies etc..)...I'd really appreciate any feedback from anyone who has experience with this..ideas on advertising, pricing rents, contracts etc....thanks in advanceBrian

Strong pharma, healthcare and education economy.

Just closed on my second triplex but trying to invest in some quality education since my day job is in healthcare.

I like things like logistics and healthcare.
