Many owners now trying to flip them to MTR, so now that market is also probably over saturated.If you are super creative and maybe have some great connections with demand generators....like you work in the HR department of a reginal hospital or are a transplant coordinator or maybe a placement/claims adjuster for an insurance company, there is probably hope. 

The city is having quite a few issues and as a transplanted native of 30+ years, when I go back to visit I'm shocked and saddened by the downturn the greatest city in the world has taken.Lastly, we can paper-project what our cash flow, appreciation, and interest rates will be, but all we can know is what's happening right now. 

Some were Los Angeles transplants looking for cheap(er) rent and some were just blue collar Craigslist randoms. 

The latter is part of the former, but they're not interchangeable.I'd think about it as a furnished 3-month-plus type of stay, and there are a lot of people who want that type of stay -- remote workers, students, recent divorcees, new transplants, and yes, travel nurses.Some of midterm rentals in Denver and Colorado Springs are close to hospitals, some not.

I am a born and raised New Yorker for over 25 years who transplanted to DFW 12 years ago!

That's where I'd recommend looking into as far as house hacking as there are more transplants in those areas.

The subdivision known as Weston Ranch (I-5 on south side of town) seems to be a commute area for Bay Area transplants but a bit light on amenities; Target might be only grocery nearby.

- I'm a former master electrician in the UK and Australia, recent American transplant > 3 years. 

Amazingly, it was initially a lot of the non-native local folks (transplants) who saw the most potential and opportunity in Augusta.

I'm in the Reno Tahoe market as a CA transplant.
