The last option I can think (outside of sending mailers to distressed homes) is buying a single family home in one of the nearby tourist destinations. 

Tourists are gone, summer workers are gone and a good number of residents are gone - or will be before the first snow. 

Her home is in a VERY good location next to the best elementary school in the area, next to (but not too close to) a major highway that goes straight into Destin (major tourist/shopping beach town), and on a half-acre lot.

Tourists who are not on a budget will most likely never rent it and tourists on a budget will never pay 100 $ a night.

It is zoned C-2B, tourist accommodation zone, which does allow long term rentals.

Or if I was doing a seasonal rental again, I would elevate the rates and go for the 4 month tourist season.

@Timur Salikov stick with the simple formula: buy where the Tourists/Travelers are.

In a market with 13 million tourists and only 94k residents in the entire county.... it's nothing but VRs. 

@Brian Corbett I know very little about Greenville but if it has any compelling growth drivers such as big employers moving in or a burgeoning tourist area, I would definitely be interested in hearing more.

I live in Central Oregon, we have breweries everywhere, close to skiing and tons of lakes so there is an ever rotating cycle of tourists to keep our economy booming.
