One of the drawbacks from a service-based industry like medicine, is that in order for me to be compensated, I have to physically be at work.

Let me know your thoughts.Hey @John McKee I love former banks to build out as an urgent care or other retail medicine operator. 

So your decision on whether to invest in medical office should not be affected by ACA and the direction it will take medicine in the future.  

Hello all.Is anyone on this Forum from Medicine Hat Ab. 

Remember, this is very basic...and these can get quite complex and detailed depending on the scope.These were;Demo/ cleanoutPrep & drywallPrime and paint all walls, ceiling trimPrime and paint cabinets- add new hardwareInstall new counter tops, sink, and faucetInstall LVP flooring in bath and kitchenCarpet squares in living and bedroomsReplace all light fixturesReplace all plumbing fixtures (sometimes toilet and sink/vanity)Add medicine cabinetRefinish shower/tubAdd wainscot and top railAdd new door hardware throughoutInstall new appliances...If you are planning for exterior work like replacing a roof, masonry work, adding siding or windows and doors your budget will double...if you are replacing mechanical systems like furnace or a/c or water heaters...your numbers will change drastically …Most of this stuff can either be estimated per unit or sq.ft. and you can get 80% accurate and build in contingency...What is the type of property, the sq.ft. and is there exterior and interior work...what about the structure...is it good...drainage good? 

Stuff that still needs to be done , in no particular order:* Grouting *  Caulking some ceiling areas in bathrooms* Install of moldings* Paint one bathroom* Install big bathroom mirrors and medicine cabinets,* Install lights* Install glass half shower door* Replace a rotten fascia board and install gutterguardAny pointers on how and where to get started would be great.I'm in Gainesville Florida , if it matters.Thanks! 

What savings we had was used for food, diapers and medicine, including a fall I had on my wedding anniversary down our flight of stairs breaking my ankle, tibia, femur, several toes, ripping my knee up and tearing my rotator cuff.

When I looked for professional advisers in medicine, law, finance and taxation I always looked for some grey hair, those folks need to have been in their area of expertise for at least 20 years and successful at what they do.

Hey All,I will be starting an Emergency Medicine Residency this July and looking for a lender that has physician loans in the state of California.

It can be just as bad for Joe Public to get duped by an unlicensed person practicing medicine or law as it is for him to lose his hard earned equity to an unlicensed person practicing real estate.
