@Sara HabtomIt's fantastic that you're considering real estate investing and have already taken steps to ensure your financial health by having no debt and a good credit score.

Will you have the time, resources, and mental commitment to dealing with tenant issues, maintenance, and other unexpected challenges that arise with property ownership?

wondering if someone could help me identify which sites are the best to list our properties for traveling nurses, health professionals?

Until just a few years ago you could retire early and suddenly develop health problems depleting your savings.

If you have passive income only, you cannot deduct health care insurance premium, or dependent care cost.

Does your local board of health, building and zoning departments allow hair salon businesses to be run out of private homes? 

@Logan Guerrero one of the challenges with maintenance is owners not having funds.So, we've learned to prioritize maintenance issues:1) Health & safety issues2) City & S8 inspection issues3) Property preservation4) Direct marketing issues (purple walls)5) Miscellaneous

The problem I see with the average person is they have this American get rich mentality.

I am definitely not ready for cash deals with a health rehab. 

I know personally quite few Sec.8 Tenants who drive nice cars (Lexus, Jeep Wrangler), take vacations, enjoy shopping in high end malls......they work for cash and have free health care, food stamps and Sec.8 Housing.These are not legal reasons but that's not what I believe I should do.
