Within the next 5 years, I would like to get to about $10,000 per month in cash flow to basically be an insurance policy in case I am unable to fly due to medical reasons or an accident. 

Yes, Darren, it can apply to SFR, STR and small multi-families as well as major developments, manufacturing facilities, office buildings, medical buildings, etc.

Oil & Gas, Banking, Insurance, Tech, Medical, Airline, Distribution and more.

Well, you can't pay bills with equity, so if I had a medical bill for $30,000 I'd be better off with leverage.

In all honesty, I find it quite nerve-wracking to take this first step alone and all really I’m looking for is reassurance that my actions are correct.A little about me: I’m a medical scientist ready to pivot into real estate.

Plus you get medical insurance, vacation etc.I have to have a lot of cash on hand to flip, last year I dropped $70k on out of coverage surgery.

There is one major medical center in town. 

Quote from @Billy Farley: My wife and I currently own 3 doors and moved to a new larger city in hopes to come continue our real estate investing journey.Over the past year we have dealt with death in the family, 3 totaled cars, medical bills, moving expense, job change.

Most of my guests are traveling medical professionals who undergo an additional check through their employer so I accept a copy of a fully executed employment contract (redacted is fine because I'm not interested in how much they're getting paid).

Both 1/1s and 2/1s are popular with travel medical professionals and digital nomads.
