They all can't be doctors, or high execs I thought to myself.

I went to a new doctor a few months ago.

And the bank will take 30 days to close, they require a credit report, etc.Instead, you go to your friend John, who's a doctor and has a lot of cash but not a lot of time.

Your average investor is a successful doctor or engineer or business owner or other high income earner who is putting away a lot of cash and trying to earn a solid safe return on it in a low interest rate environment.

When I was a kid, I was asking a relative of mine who is a doctor, how much money he made or had in the bank.

(For reference I’m a 6’8” Army vet who made it through the doctor process)

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

Joint Ventures with Sellers (e.g. minor rehabs, you do the work, place a note and a mortgage, get a JV fee)Joint Ventures With Buyers (eg shared appreciation schemes)Joint Ventures with Money and Credit Partners (getting doctors to buy and pay for rehab, splitting profits)The creative minds are opening!!
