Good talking with you Bill. I look forward to reading your other posts. Have a good night.

yeah, it takes some big stones when the s#$% hits the fan. Those cardiopulmonary bypass machines look damn complicated.

To tell you the truth, I've looked at becoming a profusionist. Unfortunately due to my wifes career, I am stuck in San Antonio. The closest program is in Houston.

I hear ya on the intellectual part. Sorry to say, it's slim pickens out here in San Antonio. However, I'll keep an eye out for you lol...

I am really surprised by this. I've heard that the nursing unions are very strong in California, I just didn't realize the earning potential of nurses was so high unless they specialized (i.e. CRNA or a clinical nurse specialist). Either way that's awesome that you both accomplished your goals. I appreciate your insight Brant. Good luck on your future endeavors.

lol... Unfortunately most of my patience are between 60 and 80, most of which have a hard time breathing through their mouth let alone through their nose. "Cardio therapy", that's a no go.

lol... I hear ya.

How do you like being a PA? I always hear mixed reviews, mostly from those who feel they should have been a doctor. I myself believe that the flexibility of the profession makes it one of the best fields within healthcare. I just hope there's a name change coming down the pike (Physician Associate).

MY biggest dilemma is that I'm not sure whether I should settle for Respiratory Therapy and start pursuing real estate on the side, or pursue PA school after I finish and put my dreams of investing on the back burner. I'm fortunate that my wife is very successful in her career however, being a guy, we always feel as though we should be the breadwinner. Maybe I should swallow my pride and pursue real estate on the side of RT.

That's awesome Brant, my ultimate goal is to become a PA. It's nice to hear that you have a good life/work balance in your practice. Any interest in opening up your own urgent care or family practice in the future?

I am interested to hear from those who are currently working in the healthcare or those who once did.

As of now, I am in the last year of Respiratory Therapy school. Barring any unforeseen setbacks, I should be a working therapist after certifying. As many of you know, the weekly schedule is comprised of mostly 3 day work weeks, with 12 hour shifts. This leaves a lot of time to accomplish other goals and interests. My main goal is to establish a diversified real estate portfolio (mainly residential) as of now and possibly changing once I become more educated in the business. After I get some experience under my belt, I would love to work in the business at an unknown capacity at this time.

I would really like to hear from those who currently work in healthcare, or from those who once did. I'm interested to hear how you have managed your time successfully between the two or how you made your transitions into real estate full-time. Any response will be appreciated. Thank You!

Location, location, location... I agree with your investor contacts to a point. San Antonio has a large and growing population of students and young adults who have no line of credit despite a long standing work history as well as a huge population of military and short-term government contractors. I wouldn't shy away from a multi unit complex. San Antonio and all of Texas has had a huge influx of out of staters coming in and I don't see that slowing down at any point. Interest rates will also be going up this year, so the market may slow a little and the rental market will surely pick up even more than where it is now. I personally do not see where you could go wrong by purchasing a multi-unit complex in San Antonio.
