However, I am a little overwhelmed by the amount of information you need to know or order to find these properties and make informed decisions (it is an entirely new language, and just like medical lingo, it takes time to learn). 

Upon leaving my wife and I will spend a year travelling and then she will start medical school, location is TBD.  

Great investment market (REI) because of low cost of entry and rent/ownership ratio is strong.We have the largest medical center in the entire world with the leading cancer center that is a destination facility people come from all over to visit.Oh and I almost forgot, buy a place on the new Grand Parkway (Texas Route 99) because it is a game changing new toll road that is linking all the burbs like never before. 

We will be renting for the immediate future, so would love any suggestions on good areas convenient to Atlanta Medical Center and Emory Hospital (my girlfriend is a med student).Thanks for reading

Nothing tells you the type of tenant they will be better than the type they have been....With your leverage  (eviction) and the primacy of housing and shelter, some renters can prioritize rent and maintain years of timely rent payments even if they have an errant medical bill or past consumer debt problem (especially with former home owners from financial crisis, one large medical bill, etc..).

To them, it was either get in the medical field or engineering.

Other claimants could include secured creditors, unsecured creditors like DHCS Medi-Cal who may force the issue thru CA DOJ. 

After learning medicine for most of my life, I dread going home to read medical journals to stay up to date, and it seems like my brain retains 0.1% of the content I read, on a good day.

Biggest blunder - not starting in real estate in my 20s.I spent decades in the medical field, moving from Biomed Engineering to sales and then working my way up the corporate ladder. 

I'm looking for a way to cover medical expenses, such as deductibles, that my family still incurs with my spouse's employer-sponsored plan.
