Do any of you know what you need in order to qualify to buy an existing $1 million dollar collecting practice? I am an incoming D1, state school so looking at around $160k for all 4 years. Was going to live cheap or at home since my school is an hour away and work for 2 years to knock out my loans. No other prior debt. This might be premature but I like to plan. Thanks!

If 400k of debt for a dental degree doesn't scare you then you don't have a sound grasp on reality.

++++1. Listen to this advice. I am a practicing dentist and I think most predent students need a reality check. Went through hell to pay off mine at around 350k. I mean hell! Sure you can make the minimum payments for 30yrs 20yrs or whatever- but reality is the debt snowballs and fast! Wish I would of had a reality check prior to dental school...just figured most dentists did well. Fact is it is brutal out there and salaries are shrinking. 400-500k???- forget about it! You will make make more being a plumber (or any profession) with no debt.

The Army will pay up to $250,000 of your student loans if you join the reserves (meaning you live and practice wherever you want). 1 weekend/month and 2 weeks/year commitment. Ask me more
