Huntsville is a very popular market (and there are short direct flights from DC too), but I would encourage you to take a look in Florence and Muscle Shoals, Alabama where we manage.If you are interested in the Shoals area, I can help you with insights regarding economic vibrancy, market dynamics, investment strategy, high-ranking public-school systems, etc... and a turn-key experience by helping you find an investment and managing it too.

I've observed too many new investors suffer severe losses in recent years by solely relying on the STR model, paying too much for properties, and then being forced to sell them at a loss when economic conditions tighten.The past two years, I purchased over 30 houses in 6 different States, and my strategy of diversifying investment plans has been crucial.

I havent come across any economic drivers data for NPR but if someone has any insights, it would be greatly appreciated. 

But you can always tell if someone has put th time and energy in to push it as far as they could on their own before they ask for help.

I recommend looking into areas near economic bases - close to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State Campus, New Albany, etc.
