Accounting Policies [Abstract]    
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Fiscal Year
 
The Company changed its fiscal year from August 31 to the calendar twelve months ending December 31, effective beginning with the year ended December 31, 2014. As a result, the Company’s prior fiscal period was shortened from twelve months to a four-month transition period that began on September 1, 2014 and ended on December 31, 2014. The Company’s change in fiscal year was required based upon the Company’s intention to qualify and be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Presentation of Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs as Debt Discount [Policy Text Block]
Presentation of Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs as Debt Discount
 
On April 7, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 entitled “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). Debt issuance costs include amounts paid to lenders and others to obtain financing and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan, which approximates the effective interest method. In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2015-03, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability must be reclassified and presented as a debt discount in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The application of ASU 2015-03 is required to be applied retrospectively. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-03 effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 represents a change in accounting principal. See Note 4 – “Notes Payable Related to Acquisition” for additional details.
 
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income Taxes
 
The Company plans on electing to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning in 2016. REITs are generally not subject to federal income taxes if the Company can meet many specific requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and the Company may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state or local income taxes, and if the Company creates a Taxable REIT Subsidiary (“TRS”), the TRS will be subject to federal, state and local taxes on its income at regular corporate rates. The Company recognizes the tax effects of uncertain tax positions only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has not identified any material uncertain tax positions and recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense, if applicable. The Company is currently not under examination by any income tax jurisdiction.

Real Estate, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Purchase of Real Estate
 
Transactions in which real estate assets are purchased that are not subject to an existing significant lease or are attached or related to a major healthcare provider are treated as asset acquisitions, and as such are recorded at their purchase price, including acquisition fees, which is allocated to land and building based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Investment properties that are acquired either subject to a significant existing lease or as part of a portfolio level transaction with significant leasing activity are treated as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, and as such are recorded at fair value, allocated to land, building and the existing lease, if applicable, based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition, with acquisition fees and other costs expensed as incurred. Fair value is determined based on ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price of individually acquired properties, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. The Company utilizes market comparable transactions such as price per square foot to assist in the determination of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price of properties acquired as part of portfolio level transactions.  The value of acquired leases, if applicable, is estimated based upon the costs we would have incurred to lease the property under similar terms.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
 
The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator exists, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the carrying amount of an asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we would record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

The Company maintains their cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation insurance coverage, and, as a result, there may be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. The Company does not believe that this risk is significant.

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Deferred Assets
 
The deferred asset balance of $93,646 as of December 31, 2015, consists of $23,295 in deferred rent receivable and $70,351 in deferred costs related to the Company’s securities offering. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 340, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs,” the Company is deferring specific incremental costs directly attributable to its offering of equity securities and will charge them against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
 
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s operations currently consist of rental revenue earned from three tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent, escalations, and charges to the tenant for the real estate taxes and operating expenses. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with contingent rental escalators revenue is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due during the period. Revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalators are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, subject to a collectability assessment. If the Company determines that collectability of rents is not reasonably assured, future revenue recognition is limited to amounts contractually owed and paid, and, when appropriate, an allowance for estimated losses is established.
 
The Company consistently assesses the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, including an allowance for operating lease straight-line rent receivables, for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults, or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company also monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on a continuous basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. For operating lease straight-line rent amounts, the Company's assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 no allowance was recorded as it was not deemed necessary.
Revenue recognition — The Company’s operations consist of rental revenue earned from one tenant under a leasing arrangement which provides for minimum rent, escalations, and charges to the tenant for the real estate taxes and operating expenses. The lease has been accounted for as the operating lease. For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes income on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis for leases results in recognized revenue amounts which differ from those that are contractually due from tenants. If the Company determines that collectability of straight-line rents is not reasonably assured, future revenue recognition is limited to amounts contractually owed and paid, and, when appropriate, an allowance for estimated losses is established.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Segment Reporting
 
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about a public entity's reportable segments.

Their investments in real estate are in the same geographic region and management evaluates operating performance on an individual asset level.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1-Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
 
Level 2-Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
 
Level 3-Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The Company considers the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, escrow deposits, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses to approximate the fair value for these financial instruments because of the short period of time since origination or the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.

The fair value of accounts payable due to affiliates is not determinable due to the related party nature of the accounts payable.
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Policy Text Block]
Related Party Disclosures
 
The Company enters into transactions with affiliated entities, or “related parties,” which are recorded net as “Due to Related Parties” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Related party disclosures are governed by ASC Topic 850, “Related Party Disclosures.” Refer to Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions” for additional information regarding the Company’s related party transactions.
 
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Net Loss Per Share
 
The Company calculates basic and diluted loss per share using the weighted average common shares outstanding. The Company has no issued and outstanding non-vested shares of common stock and therefore no dilutive effects of non-vested shares and accordingly the Company’s calculation and the resulting amount of basic and diluted loss per share are identical.
 
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Reclassification
 
The Company reclassified $197,719 from the line item “Cash and Cash Equivalents” in its accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 into the line item “Restricted Cash” to properly reflect the Company’s funds that are restricted. The Company also reclassified $572,400 from the line item “Building and Improvements” in its accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 into the line item “Land” to properly reflect the asset balances related to the acquisition of the Asheville facility in 2014.
 
Deferred Financing Costs [Policy Text Block]  
Deferred financing costs — Deferred financing costs include amounts paid to lenders and others to obtain financing and are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan which approximates the effective interest method. The Company incurred deferred financing costs of $335,986 for the year ended August 31, 2014 related to its loan with Capital One (See Note 4). Amortization of these deferred financing costs was $26,443 for the year ended August 31, 2014, resulting in a net balance of $309,543.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]  
Recently issued and adopted accounting standards — In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations such as a major line of business, major geographic area or a major equity method investment, should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition the new guidance will require expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. The guidance will be effective for all disposals of components (or classifications as held for sale) that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
