@Steven Nitschke I work for a GC in the Milwaukee area that does large commercial, industrial, senior living, medical facilities and other projects.

Full protection is an 'exemption' and is automatically protected.

My mom had to file bankruptcy due to 800k of medical bills, so this way allowed her to move into a nice place, and also bought me time to build equity when I previously wasn't able to.

It provided a consistent W2 wage that banks love, retirement plan, and medical benefits.

The joke for entrepreneurs is if you don't know how to get turned down for a loan by a bank, you probably shouldn't consider going into business for yourself.For a full-time engineering job, you will likely be on salary and classified as "exempt" for purposes of determining whether you are eligible for overtime ("nonexempt" workers have to paid overtime, while "exempt" workers do not).

Check with hospital, Kaiser offers no-interest 10 year loan for all medical professionals.

The previous owners had been exempt from this due to a grandfather clause.

With this I can reach my summit of more time with my family and friends and when the inevitable medical issues hit us we can focus on healing and quality of life with out worrying about how we will pay the bills, losing our jobs because we took way too much sick time or not getting the best treatment because we cannot afford it. 

Doctors used to think blood-letting was sound medical practice.

So the 1st question I'd ask if "what are my goals - passive or active income" after your answer this question, you can write all the different ways to go about it (passively - invest with a syndicator or with a friend; and that could be in SFH, MF, retail, medical, etc.
