I think the stock market is difficult to time but the Real Estate cycle is much easier to time because it moves so much slower. 

Having a second brand new hospital coming will be an additional boost to medical fields.Back in the mid-90s my brother and I used to ride our dirt bikes in the vacant fields along Maitland Blvd where EA Games, Orlando Magic RDV sportsplex and other mass commerce stand today.

At which point we could turn it into a rental and buy another primary residence.Or do we buy two let renters pay down the mortgage on one and pay down the primary house a little slower?

HomeStyle will be 1/2 the rate and 1/2 the closing costs as HML but the slower closing time and need for downpayments are it's drawbacks. 

Including guesses on rehab and rent time- some are going to be much slower than 3 month, some deals might be paint/carpet and rented before you blink. that said, I think you have the idea, it is now a matter of practicing analysis on actual deals.Where are you looking?

Even though the lease said 30-days' notice that owner had already presented, the tenant stated they had medical reason for not being able to vacate that soon and would hold-over until they found a decent place that met their requirements. 

They not only declined, but berated me over the issue (proving I'd made the right call).3) I usually ignore medical collections, and many others do as well.

Hi this is the situation and I'll try to make it as simple as possible:I am part of a group of physicians who, through a corporation (let's call it Realty Corp) own a medical office.  

What do you think about Medical District area?

Returns through this strategy may come slower than you would like depending on the life of the mortgage you choose.2.
