I am a recent college grad starting to prepare for medical school and would like to start learning how to properly invest in real estate so that I can use it as a second form of income along with fulfilling the interest I have held in this lifestyle for years.

These are normally necessities like medical care, food and shelter.

This might sound weird but I just Rented a sfh 3/4br 2ba for $2200 to a professional that has a 3yr employment contract with a local medical center.

My current job has me officially supervise 19 direct reports, mostly licensed medical professionals.

Feel your pain.

Walking son home from school the other day because he was a bit sick and some dumb a$& decided to run a red light, had to make sure son got to the curb, a bit painfully (he landed on his butt) but I got clipped by the vehicle.

Its only takes once for the security deposit check to bounce to realize you are in a for a long, painful relationship with your tenant.

The agreement is up on May 8.This would not be an issue if the former-owner-now-tenant hadn't made it painfully clear that they are going to take every last minute to clean out the garage.

It doesn't cost you anything and gets someone else to help you along with the paperwork.The pre-approval process is a pain in the butt now.

Sounds to me like an experienced investor dumping a dog on you and taking a large down payment to make it painful for you to walk once you are trapped owning this thing.
