Factors you should be looking for are: Job growth, population growth, low unemployment rates, increasing demand for housing, housing price history, and rent cost history.

@Erich HatchFirst, I look at permit history.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

This eliminates the requirement for a new down payment since you are refinancing the existing debt.Lenders typically require:A copy of the owner-financing agreement.Proof of on-time payments (6–12 months).What to Do:Find lenders that offer rate-and-term refinancing for owner-financed properties (portfolio lenders and DSCR lenders often do this).Maintain a clean payment history.” 

At least prepare solid rent history showing how much you collected and if it was paid on time. 

In Central and Eastern Maine, there is only one I know of with a 30-day contract: Ascend Property Management. 4.

The current partner is Thread Bank which apparently is in Eastern TN and was recapitilized? 

It was sitting on the market for a few months so I offered well below listing price and the rest is history!

A person could be 1 week out of prison for murder and no, your not in the clear to discriminate against them as a potential buyer for an open market home sale.There is a lot of history with various discrimination in access to housing to various persons of assorted minority classes, not just on race but a whole assortment and in this day n age there is no shortage of attorneys and advocacy groups happy to sue.

currently using avail for taking payment and applications ( including backgrounds, eviction, rental history, history,etc); also allows for lease generation.
