If she can’t afford your market rent, she may not be able to find anything else.

If you prefer rentals in B or B+ neighborhoods instead (mainly for higher tenant quality, lower crime rates, and better long-term appreciation potential) and don’t mind broadening your search beyond Huntsville, other more affordable locales in Alabama—like Birmingham, the state’s largest city—could be a good fit.We’re active in suburbs on the west side of Birmingham like Adamsville, Forestdale, Sylvan Springs, and Pleasant Grove, and a good portion of properties there meet the 1% rule.

I’d recommend going where you have high earning potential and can reasonably afford to live.

Petersburg, and Charlotte also offer affordable housing, excellent public amenities, and family-friendly areas.

The problem is that costs money , you live where you can afford . 

There are great markets throughout Florida that are still affordable and growing.  

Rents will be so crazy high, that anything you buy at $190 will cash flow no problem.My advice will be to buy what you like (and can afford).  

A good rule of thumb is to ensure that the tenant’s income is at least three times the monthly rent to ensure they can comfortably afford it.The process typically starts by collecting a rental application from the tenant that includes personal details, employment information, and rental history.

Target affordable rental options for stable tenants.

Could help you afford a larger/nicer property while still giving you a clean living/ownership structure.
