I often had distrust towards hospitals because I never knew what the amount I was going to need to pay would be after going to the hospital; and it always seemed to be hundreds or thousands of dollars more than expected.Thanks to the financial security that real estate can provide, I am in a different financial position now compared to where I was 4 years ago.

I am waiting to get quotes on the rates and fees and if there is any "gotchas" but it sounds promising .
