I'm currently trying to wholesale this deal on a property located near Temple University's Medical Campus (not main campus) and there are challenges as this area hasn't quite turned around yet.

From 1961-2010 the term "Mental Retardation" was a medical term.

The tenants I currently have are actually wanting to purchase the house from me, but medical difficulties have put that on a back burner for now.I was thinking of taking out an equity loan from the house, since it's a 15 year loan, and using that to pay off half of what I owe on the townhouse, but I'm not sure if that is a good idea.

Real Estate is a small world afterall, word travels quickly.

I think that's so cool you can travel and invest at the same time, where in South America are you re-locating?

Been in IT/Medical sales for past 13 yrs and I am NO LONGER a fan of Corporate America.

I travel 150+ days a year and work up to 60 hours a week depending on how crazy the project gets.Frankly, I'm tired of climbing the corporate ladder, and I've been very interested in real estate investing for quite some time now.

Now its readily available to anyone and commissions have plummeted.Ten years ago access to travel information was tightly controlled by travel agents.

Let's see...how about providing medical treatment to *everybody* regardless of who they are or where they're from.Yeah, that's it!

My mom along with several of our family members bought a medical lab she worked in that was owned by a big newspaper that was in financial distress, and they were selling their side businesses cheap.
