I love my wife and would recommend her skills as a dentist without hesitation (yes I’ve been the patient….), but I’ll just say that she wouldn’t be your first choice for running a business.

Just like you have one with your significant other, your doctor, your dentist, etc.

Your better alternative is to find a money partner or a private lender (friend, family member, associate, doctor, dentist, attorney, anyone you may know who would have liquid funds) and borrow from them after providing to them a fully laid out plan with all the numbers and the worst case scenario played out. if you can not get your lenders pricniple and interest paid out in a worst case scenario, you have not contracted a good enough deal in my opinion.

Start with family, friends, doctors, dentists, attorneys, and any other professionals you come into contact with.

I think in certain communities you could market the space effectively..orthodontists, dentists, therapists, etc.. sometimes seek spaces in those type of spots.That said, what is the upper realm (perfect world scenario even) on the rent for a house with a medical office in it?

(My dentist is a three-hour drive).

START YESTERDAY -- Asking professionals, your lawyer, doctor, dentist, successful long-time business people -- who they know with private money to invest.

I am an aspiring investor, I am a dentist in Morris County, NJ that would like to diversify my investment portfolio by starting a small real estate portfolio and see where it goes from there.

My first guess would be a doctor or dentist or lawyer who needs tax write offs.

Father- dentists, orthodontists, dancing, taekwondo, tumbling, softball, etc.
