I’ve looked at Zillow and look at the school scores close by, look at google maps but other than that is their some tool I can leverage to help sped up this process?

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Bonus depreciation is an incredible tax benefit, but when you take the time to combine it with the right property and sponsor, that will prove to be a wining formula.Disclaimer: I am not a tax advisor or CPA.

With interest rates elevated yet property values remaining resilient, finding cash flow with a reasonable down payment is an incredible challenge.

Likewise, major alterations and change of use would require the structure to meet the new HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score.

For example, if your credit score requirement is 640, consider only allowing pets if the tenant has a 700+ score.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Pull your own and ask them, "With credit of FICO SCORE, what rate and term can you offer me?" 

As long as you've got the cash to close, a decent FICO Score, and the property is cash flowing then you shouldn't have an issue getting a loan like this. 

Loans typically get paid back on a refinance or buy out period but if the property fails to gain enough equity within that period of time it can be a lost deal and painful.I would advise you to look into traditional or Non/QM financing where you use your credit score or income to buy the home.
