So you could be picking up pennies (with wholesale deals) and passing large fat bars of gold (gained from going all in on dentistry).But you can always read up and maybe buy a place to house another dental student for kicks and learning (as long as a maintenance issue or tenant problem won't keep you from passing root canal class or whatever)...Then, once you are all established, you may want to be a real estate investor--with the assets and being more established in your career.

If you partner up with a friend or family member and the partnership loses a bunch of money because of something you accidentally did, you can easily burn bridges with great people in your life. 

You're guaranteeing yourself a big ol' fat mortgage. 

About six weeks ago I woke up with a burning desire to get back into RE.

Don't let money burn a hole in your pocket, but when you see an opportunity jump on it. 2.

If you find that you're close, but that all the back-and-forth has burned into their ideal timeline, then maybe $500 for a small moving crew might get them back on their timeline.

Addressing the problems is like trying to put out small individual fires in a forest that is burning.

We've got a decent start but now that we've burned most of our investing capital it's getting interesting. 

I have been in hospitality my entire adult life, and am the General Manager of the Fountaingrove Inn, a full service hotel in Santa Rosa which unfortunately burned down in the fire, along with the Hilton next to us. 

Just be aware that some offices will be wary of running a search because of being burned in the past.
