I am also looking for part time as I already have a good paying engineering job that I enjoy.

They are broke or have to work other jobs. 20% make an okay income and 5% shine.

It's not quite big enough to quit my day job, so I typically handle business on nights and weekends.

To identify a "good" market, consider factors like rental yield, local job growth, and demographic trends.

DO you have a day job that makes this even more difficult?

My goal is to create passive income and then eventually turn this into a full time job for myself.

My company was only a couple of years old at that time, and I was still working a full-time job (working two full-time jobs, really).These are the shirts of men who have to get dressed for work for the day, going into the office from 9 to 5, so to speak.At that time, I was one of those men putting on a shirt and tie.

I'm looking for underwriting jobs and investment experience/knowledge.

One thing to look out for is how much rent the tenant will be responsible for versus how much section 8 is responsible for...although that can quickly change if the tenant gets a new job.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.
