I wonder if there's a way to go after the doctors that these places employ, as well as the companies themselves, for malpractice? 

I've seen people mention looking at employment rates and projected employment rates, population growth/decline and things of that nature.

I use a score sheet that scores each individual on 10 different criteria (credit score, income:rent ratio, length of employment, Landlord reference, etc.).

You will pay ordinary income rate and possibly self employment tax as well. 

While it does address the tax problem, it creates several other problems:your capital is tied for a yearyou become a landlords, with all related headachesthe tenant can destroy the property into which you just poured cash for rehaband moreI wouldn't expect a worker bee w2, self employed, wholesaler or flipper person  to relate to the irrational thought of tying up capital for a year. 

You have something they lack: full-time employment, with other people, who also have money and want to invest in real estate (whether they know it or not).

@Jake Williams Just make sure any position you take his W-2s in full time so that you can continue to invest otherwise you were considered self-employed and will take a minimum of two years before you’ll be able to qualify for a traditional loan. 

I absolutely believe that this is certainly one of the due diligence items you should employ when vetting a sponsor.

Qualifying for financial products is much more difficult as a student than actively employed. 

Morgantown seems to be the only area that's growing, and that growth is heavily dependent on a handful of heathcare employers and the university.
