Did you secure the bag during the pandemic? Maybe you took a pandemic travel nursing assignment?  Added a couple of extra shifts for OT/DT? Or maybe you cashed in on some bonus pay? Either way, you probably made a little (or a lot of) extra money. So what are you going to do with it? While paying off debt and treating yourself are some of the first few things that come to mind. Have you ever considered investing in real estate?

In this episode Nurse Alice talks to mortgage loan officer Ivan Simental NMLS# 1762746 , host of The Mortgage Reports podcast, to discuss why it's a good idea for nurses to invest in real estate. 

Seriously, why pay rent to pay someone else's mortgage when you could buy a house? Or maybe you already own a home - have you ever considered a rental investment property so you gain monthly by renting your home out and build equity in your home that you can later cash out? Ivan also shares what nurses should know about the real estate market, what types of real estate options are available, and what you need to get buyers ready.
