As a travel nurse I won’t be able to really get to know the market like the back of my hand until I settle down (which isn’t for another 3ish years).

My main degree of which will be in either Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nursing, or Respiratory Therapy will be on my resume as well within about two more years.Okay, now to my main question.

We have been very laid back, friendly, and accomodating with her, especially after finding out she was a Registered Nurse like me, there was instant bonding, so to say.We did not ask for a security deposit, but i dont think one months deposit would help anyway if a 2 yr lease is broken!

@Crystal Perez I own 2 duplexes and rent 2 of the units to traveling nurses on 3-6 month leases.

And thats what Im doing....I do have a busy schedule that changes every week.. and my fiance has an even busier schedule with nursing school...and 2 jobs ....

It should clue the occasional real estate/finance practitioner into doing some more due diligence.

Retail and restaurants unless you have a job as a nurse or construction worker you probably cannot even live on the current working wages.

There are no real estate clubs or groups around here.I am a nurse practitioner so I work with a lot of doctors but how do you approach someone and say "Hey do you have money-do you want to invest?"

They're the same reasons that doctors and lawyers or any professional practitioner, for that matter, study, get qualified, and then get a license to practice their specialty.Witness the on-going success of the Deeper Pockets website, in helping newbies get started and experienced investors get connected.

I used to work in an appraisal firm that handled market studies and appraisals for multi-family such as apartments, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes.
