Mortgages / Loan programs for Nurses??

[Rich Emery]

I'm curious if anybody is aware of loan/mortgage programs available for nurses/healthcare professionals?

I'm a registered nurse on my way to growing my real estate portfolio.  I read that Florida has a "hometown heroes" program that has a lot of incentives for nurses to purchase real estate.  That got my gears turning and I'd love to take advantage of a programs like this.  

At this point, I'm a travel nurse and am very open minded as to where I'd like to invest/live.  So, really, two questions - are there any banks/brokers people know about that have good incentives for nurses to invest in real estate?  Are there any states/local governments that provide assistance or favorable deals on real estate purchases?
