Due to some medical issues with my son, we spent 3 weeks in the hospital and ended up finishing the rehab in about 4 months.As far as funding goes, I simply built a sample deal package based on one of the MANY deals I had analyzed and presented the opportunity to a family member and convinced him that this made sense.  

An office complex may be more profitable as medical offices or if you're down the street from the courthouse might be attorney offices, there are choices and options to be evaluated.Finding the highest and best use is found by seeking the highest cap rate for a particular operation.

@William Orrock I'm sure by now you've seen on the forums that you are definitely not alone in your situation - all the reasons you listed about the CA market are why many investors go out of state (OOS).And, as @Lane Kawaoka mentioned, the better bets are typically secondary and tertiary markets when growth is slower but steadier (think investing in growth stocks vs a hot new tech IPO).

We might also look more closely at their credit report in such a case - if their score is low because of a medical bill from 6 years ago, or because they're a young college grad just starting a career and just don't have a lot of credit history, that's a very different scenario from someone who has 17 utility accounts in collections and a judgement from an apartment complex for skipping out on their last month's rent.
