I am getting all my contacts organized and wanted to ask everyone:What contacts do you need to have in order to be a legitimate player in this?

Instead I do have an great collection of vinyl LPs and a record player.

I would not participate in this person's intended fraud as you become an active player in it.

He’s done quite a bit of work for me and works with a lot of the bigger players in Cleveland as well.

That is a big move, and I wish you all the best @Maxwell Silva on your journey.In terms of a BIO, I would absolutely use your experience in the healthcare field as no doubt you probably contain the following skills:Patience - Working at the level the client requires (whether first time home buyer or experienced investor)Detail Oriented - Ensuring that every important detail is accounted forPeople Person - Putting the needs of others firstGood team player - Good at coordinating and working with a team (title co, lender, other Realtors, etc)Dedicated - Committed to meeting deadlines, and helping people accomplish their RE goalsThese should get you started. 

The NAR is a major player in this new law.

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.

Without a commercial MLS is a challenge, but I'm not even a player in the game and have heard of mismanaged commercial properties from the management of the building and identified other properties in decent neighborhoods that look like they have tired owners.

To get into commercial real estate you need to have money, know the players in your market and experience. 

No, they are not your typical BiggerPockets syndicator, since most all are value-add players, and value add players are often 3-5 yr holds.
