You are right Simon, they are all Socialists.They have really wierd stuff in here, I pay socialist taxes to cover healthcare and it costs less than a private healthcare insurance in US.The health cost per capita in US is the highest in the world because it's the best.My wife had to go to the hospital 3 times and did not pay a dime, while sometimes with private insurance you still have to pay a flat fee each time you go there, crazy socialist stuff.My buddy in US had his wife and daughter seek treatment and spent thousands, almost went bankrupt and started smoking, but he likes it.

I am a professional (healthcare IT consultant), and I feel I relate well to professionals and business owners.

I've worked in the back office end of the healthcare industry for the past 20 years, but I've always dreamed of being in business for myself and I looked into real estate investing often over the years.

Could be a good opportunity to solve a huge problem for more and more of the baby boomer generation needing healthcare subsidy through Medicaid.

I do agree that this would be risky and probably not particularly smart under normal circumstance.I guess the elephant in the room is that my (job) income will go from ~$55,000 to >$200,000 when I complete training in 2017 or 2018 and this is virtually guaranteed unless the US healthcare system completely unravels.I am a bit more risk tolerant with that in the back of my mind.

So I decided to leverage my knowledge in construciton and start building a foundation on the developer side and accepted a position as a Project Manager for construction of ground up Healthcare facilities.I am currently on the fence of jumping head first into the bigger pockets community to start flipping homes.  

Healthcare is not cheap nor are the day to day living expenses for two retirees in their 60’s.

The 600# gorilla for me is health care. 

They avoid taxes, avoid health care expense, avoid insurance, avoid workman's comp and by doing so they undercut someone else who is following the law.

My health care is currently almost $3K per month not counting the deductible.
