My medical resident recently up and left saying his student loan payments just ballooned and he could no longer afford the rent. 

We actually found a RE attorney who helped us our lease agreement and it was interesting to learn about the parts that are more specific to Portland (mold, mildew, etc....oh and now medical marijuana!)  

I currently work in the IT Field at IBM, and just finished up my Masters degree in the same field.I think there was a book, or blog post (one of many) that pointed me to this site as a plethora of knowledge in the real estate investment arena. 

With medical bills piling up, it may have taken a hit.

How many jobs does the Field museum create?

Our financial problems stemmed from a major medical issue that I had that resulted in medical bills that we could not possibly pay in several lifetimes!

(Just make sure the technical specs are the same too)Example:200 dollar ryobi backpack blower 510 cfm 185 mphEVERYONE hates ryobi because it is chinese but I realized early on in the field that if you maintain your equipment and baby it like the expensive Echo's and stihls it will last just the same.

I'd love to hear from veterans in this field for information and guidance.

Maybe you'll check out a new field and make a lot less money and it wont matter anymore.
