You should be an adjunct physics professor a community college and pull in solid 38K a year.

@Joe S.This is a “know your audience” responseIf you are around a bunch of college professors and they are technical then yes you can pull out all the big words - but as you mention many will try and use these big words in a convo and they scream newbie because it’s apparent they lack some knowledge as they are creating word salad with what they say.I just tell people be yourself

Traveling professors and medical professionals would probably be my target avatars.I am biased though toward MTR as a strategy, and it's not without risk to spend a couple grand converting an empty LTR into an MTR, so consider all of your options carefully.

( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1613092/ ) on Netflix with a professor, Daniel Gilbert, from Harvard University.He and I got connected here on another buy-and-hold project but shared this approach, and it's got me wondering - could this model work here the U.S., especially in places  where there's a push for sustainable and community-focused living?

Pair that with maybe professors, traveling nurses (they would be longer than a week) or other corporate business I think I’ve found a niche here.  

I'm also interested in possibly taking one of their 8-week long tax deed investment courses, but they're pretty expensive for a company that doesn't seem to have a ton of credibility, although the "professor"- Phil Kessler- seems to really know what he's talking about and has been a guest on a could RE podcasts I listen to.Thoughts?

So, be the professor of real estate and watch those investors come running!

I even got a little support from a professor at MIT, who gave me much needed scientific journal access for a few years to pursue my hobby!

Next time you go to school, make sure you tell your HS teacher or college professor that you can learn everything they can teach you from a book and that what they're teaching is not worth the price of the class.

Sabbatical homes dot com is another good one, catered towards professors on sabbatical, usually looking for 3-6 month stays.
