Something more like working with an agency for housing traveling nurses or some other form of professional.

I have worked in the legal and business affairs industry for major studios, as well as solo practitioners for the past 7 years.  

Let's look at finding deals . . . . . . . for single and  multifamily1)  Track listings on MLS (being your own agent is helpful so you can act fast, but not for everyone)2) For multi family, I would also watch LoopNet or Costar3) get on a lot of wholesalers list and sift through the junk to find the gem 4) Attend local REIA meetings and get to know the players and let them get to know you, they might have a pocket listing.5) Direct mail potential sellers in areas you want to buy -  - code violation lists (I send about 1000 pieces of mail a month)- probate (or even obit records for all deceased owners of property) - look for deceased owners of duplexes and send letters- direct mail probate attorneys who might have families dealing with rental properties- direct mail nursing homes - caseworkers who help families transition- farm specific areas where you want to buy and direct mail the absentee owners.- know of a group of properties you would really like, keep telling the owners of your desire to buy and when they sell, they will call you first (most good duplexes sell this way to friends or contacts that connected with the owner) they don't often get listed for sale, they sell to family or friends.

If Airbnb is outlawed the homeowner might try corporate rentals: rentals of 30 days or more to companies, hospitals and universities who need to provide housing for long-ish but not long-term out-of-towners, e.g. visiting nurses, physicians, and scholars, and employees transferred from another state.

You'll learn more from reading proper books (not self-motivation BS packaged as a book) by real practitioners and networking.Added bonus: You'll not expose yourself to scammy folks... lol

Only thing I PERSONLLY did not care for was nursing NPN homeowners back into compliance and dealing with all of that..  

I'm a Registered Nurse who works in oncology and looking to dive into the real estate world through multi family units and possibly commercial real estate as well.

Somehow I passed nursing school first try, but failed my first real estate exam 😝.

Do near hospitals for traveling nurses. 

Determine the debt situation, do a title search and find out if there are any unrecorded debts like welfare, nursing home, mechanics liens.
