I live outside of Charlotte in a small town called Denver (of the East).

I live around Huntsville, the epicenter of northern Alabama.

People have no choice but to move to cities where they can live and work immediately.

if you buy it yourself and turn it into a live in flip and absolutely crush it, great! 

I can speak from experience as a student at Texas A&M, I lived in a 5 br/5 b house and I knew plenty of other students who lived in similar houses or "Ag Shacks" if you will.

Story I got was that she lives out of state, thought she had family local to help manage it but they are moving.

I live here and I haven't seen more FSBO but I'm seeing a lot more wholesaling activity.  

If you are buying to live in, you could also do FHA with a cosigner.

Hey @John FriendasI have purchased 4 of my Co-Living (rent by room) properties with DSCR, 1 of them within the last few months.Not that I necessarily recommend this, but there are short-term-rental DSCR products.

I like the detailed descriptions others have given, but I also keep it simple:A: I’d live there with my familyB: I’d live there if I had to with my family C: I’d live there if I was single D: Nope
