Thanks @Azeez, I would say the area is very much B and slightly rural however it is within a 5 minute drive to several major colleges, employers, and what would be considered an A market. 

Mainly it's that some commission jobs are similar to self-employment in that the income varies (seasonally or annually) and it's reliant on the person's drive/skillset.

How you decide to approach it with the specific property owner is up to you, but from reading quickly online you may legally able to say you were never convicted of a crime.Regardless it's worth it to get the record sealed/expunged, if not for renting then also for future employment checks and the like

Since I know what to do with it and I am building wealth that is accelerated by the debt that I employ, I confess, I love it! 

I currently am working a contract position that is not permanent and from asking around it seems like it is hard to get approved for a conventional mortgage when you do not have permanent employment.

I won’t be fully employed during these four years, but I will have income in the form of student loans.

Should I be considering percentage of absentee owners, days on market, vacancy rates, employment information, age demographics etc?

Nevertheless, I'm still actively seeking legal-esque employment because I want to make money.

As I study more about rei and what a good market is (where there is employment etc) I keep coming back to my military roots.

I also get employers phone numbers, see how long they have been working there, it just shows stability.
