Pearland is closer to Texas Medical Center.  

The realtor said that the intention was be used as Medical.

We'll cut to the chase, here's our dirt.The Facts: Ages 51/44, Married, w/10 yr. old childOne steady income 45KOne low income & fluctuating (self employed only 2 years but growing slowly)Living/ renting in NJ (Very expensive market, 2 family units sell over 500K)Fair amount of debt 37K (Car loan, 2 CC, Medical bills)Just getting by each monthCombined 401K's =  150KMy 401 (100K) can be transferred with no penalty to a self directed IRA (I had opened up last year in hopes of using some cash to invest in RE) We are determined to get into REI however we're probably going to need some creative ways to do it with our current situation.

I am thinking that it can be used by a small medical practice, veterinary, dental. etc. 

I’m closing on my ideal 4-plex near a major university and medical centers using an FHA loan.

Most students want to be close enough to walk/bike so the only way you'd be able to lure them away is to have really cheap rent, which wouldnt support the cost to build new.If you do build on the lot, then I think you'd have better luck marketing to the medical workforce. 

Unfortunately, I am still recovering from some medical issues and do not work because I am still bedridden and do not walk or work. 

I am looking for an established investor in the DC metro area who would be willing to let me "shadow," a word used in the medical world that basically means learning by tagging along with an actual physician.  

Take into account RE taxes, Mortgage interest, charitable donations, large medical expenses, ect...compare it against 2017's total.If you took a look against the rental but used the proceeds for personal use- IE to pay off your personal residence the interest would not be deductible as a business expense. 

That’s not comfortable but unless you’re elderly or have some sort of underlying medical condition it also probably won’t kill you.The repair happened, I the landlord pay for it and everything continues as normal.
