He was also in the military but recently medically retired in Sept 2017.

Can try small claim court showing your medical bills because of frost bite, cold having no heat, weight loss having no kitchen to cook and fungus body.

I was in the Army (medically retired last year) and got sent to Alaska. 

We've had a long-standing, complex medical situation with our family that has turned into a family emergency. 

In my view, it’s infill convenience locations, food service, health clubs, medical services, as well as those dynamic retailers, like REI, Bass Pro, Whole Foods, Anthropology...

(Not assisted living or anyone requiring medical care that cannot be accommodated by home health aide) 

Two that come to mind is a multi unit medical building with some rents as high as $4k/mo as well as some higher end single homes renting for $1,400/mo+.

I would recommend diversifying three ways:1) capital stack location: debt versus equity. 2) commercial versus residential (you can invest in single-family homes through passive investments as well)3) commercial real estate asset class types (mentioned by others such as medical, fast service restaurants, retail, etc.)Each of the different choices has a different risk reward profile, so it's important to first understand what those are, then take a look at your own risk profile, and then come up with a game plan of how you want to structure your portfolio for diversification.

You missed the big picture why there will be more layoffs.So outside of commodity export, most USA exports are tech/medical produced, mostly IC/semiconductor.With the dollar strengthening to even make the pound sterling at 40 years low now,  no country can afford to buy American products especially when the supply chain is also disrupted. 

Bad credit due to some medical bills (Willing to put down 2x the my standard deposit).
