Agree with @Gorden Lopes - you will not find the 1% rule for A/B properties in Huntsville/Madison right now unless you score a unicorn of a deal, or put up an enormous down payment to force cash flow.Even C properties right now are not easily 1% rule applicable.  

"The President's action makes federal funding available to affected individuals in Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey counties."

I am a Realtor in Madison, WI and so far as stated earlier, other than an offer of compensation no longer being listed in the MLS, not a lot has changed as far as sellers typically being agreeable to pay buyers agents at closing a buyer agency commission, and sellers just viewing that as a closing cost and focus on reaching a net proceed number they are happy with (if competing, one buyer may ask you to pay their buyer agent fee, but at a higher price where you could still net more than a lower priced Offer). 

I currently live in Madison and am a Real Estate Agent with a Property Management firm here in Madison.

@Noelle MastelottoAlso consider Madison, Wisconsin. 

Quote from @Madison Santerre: We're in the same boat.

You want Madison, Rankin, Fonderan, and North Jackson, like many smart investors do. 

I flew down to the Madison area and stayed with friends while I house shopped.

If you are not in Huntsville or Madison proper, you may want to wait out things for a minute, as some of the outlying areas are definitely tilting toward supply exceeding demand now.  

In Madison WI you'd be looking at .5% rule, and investors have no problem buying at those prices because demand is always there.
