More issues with tenants, neighbors, and slower to gain equity.We decided to change our strategy and switched to a few sfh in a great high demand area.

I love medical property up here in Indiana.

After which turning it into a traveling medical staff rentals when we purchase our following home.

Couple points...1) We will be leasing mid-term to traveling medical staff and tenants will be placed by an agency.

Mix of manufacturing, medical, service and white collar jobs.

In terms of investing, there are likely other factors that would likely create more "motivated sellers"...job loss, medical bankruptcy, divorce, etc.  

I am a Sr Engineer in the medical device community now and recently acquired an Executive MBA from the University of Memphis.

You will need as large of a New Worth as the lender says you need for the loan (and will have to maintain the Net Worth position for the length of the loan.You will need Attorney fees (in cash) ready to cut a check.If a complex costs $12 Million, (@25% down) that's $3 Million liquid cash for the down payment alone.Basically you need a lender (who will dictate what you must be and must have and must maintain) to be able to buy.Plus bring enough cash money to the table for the down, earnest money, fix-up money (WORKING CAPITAL) and etc...If you are in such a cash rich position right after Medical School (or know people who are that will work with you on this), great, if not--"go big" most likely will have to wait until you can put all of your needed pieces together.I imagine Student loans must be eating away at your monthly income, regarding saving up for investing.The amount of spendable hard cash you have dictates how much you can buy.Good Luck!

While it grows slower (but with much less volatility) than an IRA or 401k, you can take more money out during retirement and for much longer.

I have also rented to medical students, anywhere from 5 weeks to 1 year.
