You could also trade services such as carpentry, auto mechanics, painting, dental work and other services that you can do for the seller over time.4.

I KNOW that market very well, having built all types of projects from SFR, MFR, subdivisions, office parks, medical/dental, retail/office condos, etc.

SO to sum up: get a certification, get hired at a large stable corporation, preferably somewhere where you can get health, dental and stock options.

A close friend of mine was in the same shoes as you.Before giving the middle finger to his corporate job he paid off all his credit cards, bought pre-paid gift cards for food, restaurants, movies, and other leisure items, he got his medical and dental checkups done while he was still on insurance, and reduced recurring expenses in order to live as lean as possible in start-up mode. 

Where the hell do you all get health, dental, vision, etc... benefits from?

We have built all different types of properties as spec, from SFR, MFR, Office, Office/retail condos, Office parks with individually owned buildings, medical/dental space, developed a subdivision, etc.

Practice good hygiene. 

It would rip this nation apart, which mind you is hanging on by dental floss stitching at this point.

I'm a clinical team leader at a dental school.  

Benefits (medical, dental, 401k..etc) are very expensive.For me, the math finally works but I've made the real estate schedule work with my day job as a University Professor.
