Lastly, Dan Lesniak wrote "Hyper Local, Hyper Fast agent".That said, there are other sales positions that are NOT 100% sales and can help you begin earning sooner i.e. insurance, medical equipment to name a couple.In conclusion, most sales positions will give you more income potential than many W2 jobs (depending on your education and experience level) AND will also continue your self-development journey.

I've been working in the medical cannabis industry for 3 years, and while its a well-paying salaried position, I recently discovered working in this industry complicates my ability to secure a competitive loan to begin my investing journey.Considering this, I've been contemplating obtaining my real estate license to become an agent.

So far all of my guests have been in the medical field, but I've had inquiries from all kinds of different people: construction workers, relocations, divorcees, academics, people traveling for long term medical treatments and seasonal forest service employees.

Nope they don't care you cant work you lost all that money medical bills stacking up marriage is in shamble and you no longer are that parent who was once involved. you are advised you have to leave your home which splits your family (YOUR WHOLE WORLD) and they don't care!!!!!

I am guessing you would not use a doctor without ever going top medical school or passing the medical boards, right?

The more cash flow you get,  normally the less appreciation and visa versa.To your point, if you want a balance of both, I would target a tertiary market 30 min to an hour outside a very fast growing major city.

We need to be within a 10-minute commute of the medical center, so for us our target market is Third Ward/South Central/Macgregor/Greater OST/South Union.Could someone who knows these local markets give some insight into price of renovation per square foot?

I've been doing LTR for a few years but wanted to try MTR in one unit as I had such great success renting to medical professionals over the years.I furnished my upper unit in a duplex which is within 5 minutes of a hospital known to use a lot of travelers.

A medical resident at the local hospital has put in a LOT of work and effort to get where they are, and they're unlikely to risk ruining their credit over silly late rent payments or property damage.Having said that, if you upgrade that hypothetical C-grade property to an A-, but it's in an area where nobody has the money to pay the higher rent, or there aren't people interested in renting a higher grade property, then that's going to cost you (this is the classic case of over-improving a property--which a very common mistake by beginning real estate investors).

I was convinced that unless you went to school in the medical field or for law, it just wasn’t worth it.
