Attorneys will create trusts and deed the person's assets to the trust so that when they move to a nursing home Medicaid pays for it.

You've chosen a noble profession in nursing, so I'm not sure if you want to start a business while pursuing nursing -- that is a personal preference.

I just had a set of 4 nurses that stayed for just under 4 months.

Construction companies and developers are more often run by engineers (or former engineers) than a teacher, accountant, doctor/nurse, lawyer, IT, etc.  

I graduated in '09 from nursing school, so I wasn't really involved in the real estate market.

I’ll be renting to traveling nurses because of its proximity to so many hospitals.

The last one is a nurse so I am assuming she will probably be sick at some point, and since I consider her and all the rest of the health care workers heros I will do anything I can to help out there. 

City in MD I live in is home to many young professionals, nurses, doctors, specialists, entrepreneurs, etc.

If you do not want to start off too big, buy a condo, fix and rent etc.Fix and rent out as a corporate rental or to nurses etc

If it were me I'd price it high then be very patient with tenants.. a house that nice is tough to find in the rental market and people like nurses and robotics techs will be after them..
