For example, there is a new 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income - from the new Obamacare (healthcare) law.

• Properties allowed include day care, gas station, health care, restaurant, RV park and unflagged hospitality.

I would probably take the million in 401k:) direct some of that to rentals and senior healthcare reits with triple net strategies.

But lots of unknowns in the future with healthcare, kids, how expenses really change without a 9-5.On track to hit $1MM net worth, that is the current most compelling goal.As far as number of units, I'd like to think that our portfolio will be completely different in 15-20 years, with fewer higher quality units, so hard to speculate on that.

And I've been in home health care and it's been my 20 yrs experience that many people out there do not ever start thinking about retirement or saving for it, much to their detriment.

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.
