Give the RE of Manhattan, it makes sense for doctor to lock in that long-term cost, but I don't think it's a great investment for you

There are no real estate clubs or groups around here.I am a nurse practitioner so I work with a lot of doctors but how do you approach someone and say "Hey do you have money-do you want to invest?"

Doctors and lawyers find themselves looking to "invest" for the long term in Real Estate, but, they cannot manage or repair or even take care of the bookkeeping and taxes.

I might be wrong and I'm not a doctor but I have family living there and they are not that worried.

When I had those major problems I thought I was in great shape according to my Doctor and I ran my own flooring store and owned my first investment.  

My two cents - I have worked with a few agents doing marketing - mainly worked with dentists - doctors etc. - we have done mainly stuff like doing Facebook and Adwords ads where we are able to customize their strategy a bit more than some of the "big" national providers - we have set up follow up email funnels - retargeting etc. - and I think the real estate agent market as a whole is one of the tougher ones I have ever worked in.It seems to me you have a small group of agents who are spending a LOT of money on marketing (ie $10-20k or more a month) and then the vast majority of the rest are spending very little to nothing on marketing programs (+/-$500-$1000/month) - typically waiting on referrals or leads generated by the agency they are associated with . . . . so a lot of feast or famine . . . 

@Rick Doctor- Great points.

Doctors do the same thing. 

Doctors built new offices offices went up all over the place.Who is really going to get hosed tho in this whole deal of course is those with no insurance.. and worse yet investors with no flood insurance as they don't even qualify for any fema bene's...

Push yourself beyond your level of comfort and take risks when you are young and have nothing to lose.As for education if it is your intent to have a career (doctor, lawyer, accountant) as opposed to a job go to school otherwise get a trade.Your only purpose in working is to trade your time for money.
