New investor in Iowa & Illinois. (travel nurse). want help house hacking or AirBNB

[Steve Steve]

Hello, I am completely new to investing money on a scale such as this. I would very much like to start investing and house hacking. I do not currently own any homes, but I am trying to come up with a strategy to invest,  and set some goals. I am an " Internal Travel nurse", which means I will be floating from 8 different hospitals owned by the same company. My Job is W2, and is permanent. I am eligible for a $156.00 a day stipend if I travel >50 miles away from my tax home. I am currently living with my parents, because I recently ended a relationship, and did not have the means to purchase a home. I am open to buying a multi-unit property and living in one of the units, and even buying a nicer home to rent rooms out of. I would really appreciate any sort of direction, links, information that could be provided. I want what would make the most sense to increase my wealth, and would like to make a few goals to work towards/budgeting. 

This is my current debt, assets, credit and income info: 

Credit Score: If I pay off most of my revolving debt I should be able to get my credit score to 720-740 pretty easily. I have 1 derogatory on my credit which was a collection of like $400 a few years ago. I paid that in full something like 3 years ago. Other than that I have perfect payment history.

Debts:

Storage unit-         $190 month

Phone bill-             $160 month (i pay for my moms phone)

Truck payment-   $1150 month (owe $58,000) impulse buy, and may be able to sell and get out of loan if needed. 2.9% interest

Student loan payment-    $150 month. (owe $15,000) very low interest

Live at parents rent free- $0 month

furniture credit card- $2400/$6000 $150 a month. (0% interest)

Discover card - $3369/$4000 $150 month ( 0% interest) 

Navy fed card- $2,700/$11,000 

Navy fed card - $13,000/$16,000

Around 5 other credit cards which have no balance on them.

Assets:
I own a 2014 BMW 550i which is worth around $15,000.  paid in full, and willing to sell this vehicle as well. I would be willing to buy something more economical to drive. 

Around $6000 in savings, and the same in a 401k. 

Income: 

I make ~ $125,000 per year. I am starting a new job in the next couple weeks. I made roughly $125,000 in 6 months when you include my overtime the last 6 months at my previous job which paid around the same money. I should be able to make around $200,000 per year with overtime. I am able to qualify for a stipend of $156.00 a day if I live outside of the 50 mile radius of my tax home. I am wondering if it would make sense to buy a home more than 50 miles away, and then just pay my parents rent with the stipend income, and still come out somewhat ahead? I have to show that I duplicate my housing expenses. I currently reside in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I can be sent to any of 8 cities in Madison Wisconsin, Rock Island Illinois, Waterloo, Des Moines, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Fort dodge, Sioux City Iowa. 

I take home right around $4,000.00 without overtime a check, biweekly. I was averaging $6,000 biweekly take home before taking this job, and should be able to come close to that again. 

Thank you again for any help on a strategy. I would like to own multiple properties within 2 years.

I want to thank everyone for the thoughtful responses. I think the obvious thing from here is to pay off all of my debts, and save some more money before starting anywhere else. I have listed my truck for sale, and hope to have it sold ASAP. I am definitely considering buying a home and renting it to other travel nurses/doctors, but I would like to make a more well thought out plan, and realize I am still a ways off from actually buying. I just wanted to make sure that step 1 should be to sell the truck. I'm losing money on the front end, but hopefully I learn from this, and can avoid similar mistakes in the future.

Thank you again, and I will be around the forums reading/lurking.
