Depending on the area I know people have success on craigslist as well but can be hit or miss

Or do most people here only purchase if the cash flow is positive?? 

No one wants to rent with people they don't know, in my town groups will set out to find houses, not singles.Then as I tell the kids when they complain "Its much more motivating to come home to a house full of angry roommates than it is for me to call you a few times"Continuing: If someone leaves I put the students in charge of finding their new roommate, I don't want that responsibility.

Seems like most people use wholesaling a starting point or a way to generate capital.

I have done well here at BP so far with meeting people to aid me in my Real Estate ventures and hope this will be a success as well.

I love connecting with other people in the area that are looking to invest. 

Many people who are looking to simplify like seller financing for the passive income stream.

Why not buy in one of the towns you will be staying, and then rent your furnished house out to other people (on a mid term basis) with similar traveling jobs like yours. 

I would start small, be safe, look at your options for lending, and find people you trust to help you with everything that goes into a BRRRR.

Some people are successful by changing banks and keeping small amounts in several accounts, so the collector can’t drain everything.
