With continued migration out of California, amazing weather, strong economy based on a huge retirement community, aerospace, a public university that includes huge medical training and a large biotech startup community, all signs point to another 30 year positive appreciation cycle. 

Fast forward a couple years and I have a decent job working in the medical device industry, but what I really want to pursue is a career in CRE.

My concern with the property is it is being leased by a medical facility at this time. 

While that’s  going well, I’m looking to go more mainstream with investing in Commercial real estate - medical office space, public storage etc.BP was suggested by a friend and I’m glad to see the abundant resources and network available here.I Would appreciate suggestions of any REI meet ups/events in greater Atlanta area. 

I received a hot lead from a motivated seller who wants out of her house for the following reasons:- Seller cannot cover mortgage alone so abusive daughter lives with seller to help pay mortgage (daughter arrested for domestic abuse)- Seller is elderly and medically disabled (low income)Any advice on how to help?

Does your tenant have a medical background?

Medical Payments: Provides coverage for an injury suffered on the premises.

Elm Thicket is pretty hot....cheap neighborhood next to super expensive neighborhoods and good demand drivers from Medical Center area nearby.You're right about some of the other areas....West Dallas West of Trinity Groves is probably ripe...I'd say all the way from downtown to loop 12.Casa View is probably ripe or anywhere along Garland Ave along White Rock Lake.Bishop Arts area has been talked about for years.There seems to be some activity on East side of 35 at about Jefferson/Davis in south Dallas.I would also take a look at the Cedars area south of downtown....lots of big smart money there....Mark Cuban, Jim Lake, Jack Mathews, Mike Hoque.You might also look at train/rail stops in better locations. 

This property is 4 minutes walk to the medical center and 15 minutes walk to a University.

Within a few hours a medical worker booked the place for triple her rent for 3 months!
