The FHA rules/regs (in particular the FHA self-sufficiency test) are applied the same across all markets, and I know for a fact that in rural communities across the country, and big cities that are not particularly desirable places to live, it's not a deal-breaker, I am not commenting on those areas.

Use Automated Follow-Ups to Build RelationshipsMost deals aren’t closed on the first contact, which is why follow-ups are essential.Example Workflow:Day 1: Send a thank-you email after a seller contacts you.Day 3: Share a case study of a seller you helped.Day 7: Send a friendly reminder with a call-to-action like “Let’s schedule a quick call to discuss your options.”Pro Tip: Mix email and SMS follow-ups to keep the conversation warm.Why It Works:Automation saves you time while nurturing leads until they’re ready to sell.3.

If you go into Central or South Scottsdale (Old Town) $1M will buy you a smaller, older home, OR half of a big, remodeled home (as alot of the Arcadia and Old Town area are turning over old small homes to be big beautiful homes in the $2.5M range and higher).There are options.....for both buying and renting, that would work with your situation.By the way....it's 51 degrees in North Scottsdale right now where I live. 

I live in Lancaster, PA and it's a lot here that's very positive.Our market is historically pretty stable and hasn't been subject to sharp increases followed by sharp decreases in property values.
