Currently I am 26 and am working in healthcare.

Especially in recession-proof fields like government, education, healthcare, defense, manufacturing (tech and energy can be boom/bust) 2.

My wife and I have drank the Kool-Aide and are diving in to the RE game. 

I'm happy to help with on time payments aiding my tenants in their improving credit scores, and I'm glad to have the stick (vs. the carrot) that if they don't pay on time, that could be reported as well. https://cozy.co/blog/build-your-credit-history-just-by-paying-your-rent/Having handled collections in my first job out of school, I know that people will pay the bills that ding their credit and ignore the ones that don't.

If your mortgage company does not accept seller financing as income, I will provide a reputable broker that is more familiar with seller financing to aid you in the purchase of your new home.Will my mortgage be called?

Just cover your behind and make sure you’re getting aid for the extra risk and wear and tear.

It’s not minimum wage,health care or working conditions, equity,or any other neoliberal thought process.

And how can I find out how diverse the local economy is by sector (finance, manufacturing, health care, etc)?

Decent schools, a stable job market (driven by healthcare, teachers and general blue collar workers), and the ability to buy basic SFRs for under 200k make it attractive.
