Murphy's Law applies like a mother to REI.First, if you are doing all the project picking/analyzing/Comp Analysis and you don't know the market, and you don't know the formulas, and your numbers are wrong? 

Think about how can you make your property a no brainer when having to decide between an apartment and a home. 2-Contact homeowners who are not in your close proximity, so they do not feel threatened, and ask them what are they seeing in the market, and how are they are adjusting (most likely you are not the only one who is experiencing this). 3-  If you decide to work with a real estate agent, use one that works with rentals, and better yet, someone who specializes in property management as well, because they will help you weed out  bad applicants. 4- This last one I do not have experience with, but I would definitely try it if my rental was near a hospital: Partner with a company that finds housing for traveling nurses.

it may not be your parent… maybe it is an aunt or an uncle or a grand mother who you can educate about real estate and get them excited too?  

if the answer is no.. then please keep in mind this will be next to impossible for you go get unless your financially strong enough to walk in the local bank and borrow from them. no HML is going to loan that kind of money on new construction for someone with no track record.UNLESS you put in a huge amount of cash.. up front. so were We see all these folks getting scammed is they don't realize they really don't qualify for financing.. there is some notion running around that HML are just equity lenders they are not.. they are experience lenders IE how many have you done.. first time borrower VERY short leash. so you have the scammers saying no problem  the bigger the loan the bigger up front fee they hit you with and never fund.If you have the ability to go on American Greed website.. look up the episode on Remington financial.. they were the mother of the pump and dump Due diligence scams.. 

I myself am a travel nurse and Airbnb host.

Focused on traveling nurses.

With Cleveland Clinic in the area, it’s a great opportunity for real estate investments, especially targeting travel nurses.

1) All of the spaces are the same and the one unit is higher in rent because it was a month to month and the owner raised the price because it was a travel nurse and was on a month to month lease. 2) The owner is saying I could easily bring the prices up to 2150-2250 per unit and keep it at long term leases to make it easier to manage. 

If you want a feel for demand in Boston area there is a FB group boston travel nurses/health professionals.
