Utilize underwriting skills, network with professionals, research the market, explore financing options, and utilize educational resources like BiggerPockets.

By way of background, I have been working as a Medical Device Sales Representative specializing in orthopedics and total joints with Johnson & Johnson | DePuy Synthes.

They may feel a sense of entitlement, and they may not even be good renters.Unless this is some unique situation like a ranch that requires special skills to maintain the property, I recommend you remove the caretaker, spruce the place up, and put it on the market at market rates.I also recommend you look for a professional property manager that can help you navigate this immediately.

I house hack in Reston, VA by renting a room in my condo to traveling medical professionals.

I have multiple MTRs and I started filling them with medical professionals I was working with when I first started. 

You’re not incredibly liquid right now but what about your credit, how much time do you have to find a deal, are there any skills you could bring to the table for a rehab or raising money?

I don't think my way is the only way, but it was a way that worked well given my skill set and interests.

I would love to join in on any BP groups that do OOS deals  (I have proven time management, attention to detail and paperwork organization skills in exchange for getting to learn alongside some REI masters). 

I'm currently looking for my first deal so It's hard to imagine what to put in credibility packet when all the skills I have are not real estate related.I guess what I'm asking is how do you make people like lenders and other investors believe in you as much as you do?

Just like everything else in life, get started, keep honing those skills (i.e. keep reading, keep learning, keep attending the meetups) and watch yourself get better and better witch each property you buy.I hope this helps and good luck on your real estate journey!
