Hello! Where are the healthcare workers (past or present)
1. What do you do?
2. Where are you located?
3. What are your real estate investment goals?
4. What’s your favorite real estate investment strategy?
For me...
1. Chaplain
2. Ohio State University Medical Center - James Cancer Hospital
3. Financial freedom for my family - replace our combined 200k income in 10 years or so, teach my kids how money works, then more volunteer and philanthropy work
@Justin Gottuso - I'm invested in Columbus also. I'm glad you're happy with your decision to move out of California. Whenever I am looking at out of state properties, I often think I should get out of here too. But I've never lived anywhere but Southern California, so I don't really know what I'm talking about, lol
I don't remember the order of questions- MD, 1 sfr in CA, 2 OOS- Ohio, Florida (mfr). Some syndications. But right now, I'm using my stash that I had set aside for my next deal to get into the stock market.

@Account Closed nice to meet you! which providence hospital? mission hills? i was at providence little company of mary san pedro for my chaplain training/residency. loved it/providence. still have friends at providence and my most recent manager was from providence mission hills. i (very recently) left my job at Dignity Health - california hospital in DTLA. moved from Los Angeles to Columbus, OH. yea, investing out of state is almost the only option if you're in LA unfortunately, but there is a LOT of opportunity out here i'm finding! it's literally another world financially.
@Kevin Chan thanks for sharing! i'm curious, how has investing in syndications worked out? did you get the promised return on your investment beyond the initial 8% or whatever that might have been 'guaranteed'? did they actually sell in 3-5 years and make a profit? trying to get to know what it's like to invest in syndications. and with OOS investing, what part of ohio did you invest in? and why the move to the stock market? (the little bit i have invested has done incredibly well the last year so i can understand why but wondering your decision-making process). thanks!

Hey @Justin Gottuso welcome to Columbus! It's a great place for families in terms of quality of life and cost of living and, as you mentioned, not a bad place to invest. I admire the work you'll be doing at The James. The Columbus community has the highest regard for that place and I've known a few people who have needed its services over the years. I've heard nothing but superlatives for the facility and the people that work there.
1. What do you do? Psychologist
2. Where are you located? Columbus, OH
3. What are your real estate investment goals? To diversify and speed up my retirement. Right now I'm focused on increasing wealth via the BRRRR strategy. Ideally, I'd like to have 5+ paid off small multifamilies by the time I'm 55.
4. What's your favorite real estate investment strategy? BRRRR

Hi @Daniel Judge!
Great to know you and thanks for the warm welcome. I feel so blessed and honored to be working at the James!
My wife is a psychologist. Are you in private practice, a staff position somewhere or both? I resonate with your goals! Do you have a partner/spouse or kids/family?

@Kevin Chan many people I meet say ‘why did you leave?!’ They don’t know the true cost of living there or how good they have it financially. But also about timing and priorities. There is a time and season for everything I believe and I’ve been so blessed to have lived in SoCal for the first 34 years of my life! Now it’s a new season and chapter that is focused on family and quality of life in a wholistic sense. Which led my wife and I to choose to move.
