As soon as you start discussing your business practice and strategies with your customers (tenants), then all bets are off and you run the risk of Fair Housing violations. 

This may be easier to find in smaller towns or rural areas.Growth potential: Research areas with growing populations or emerging business districts.Tax incentives: Some localities offer incentives for small businesses or specific industries.Infrastructure: Ensure reliable internet and necessary utilities for your business.Potential locations to explore:Atlanta suburbs: Consider areas like Decatur, Marietta, or Lawrenceville for a balance of affordability and proximity to the city.South Carolina: Look into growing areas like Greenville, Rock Hill, or smaller towns in the Upstate region.North Carolina: The Research Triangle area (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) offers opportunities, as do smaller cities like Asheville or Wilmington.Remember to thoroughly research local building codes, zoning laws, and business regulations in any area you're considering.

so after reading all the posts, it sounds like his best bet is just to move on and walk away finding another place maybe coming back in future to keep contact with that person if he really wants that location… Correct me if I’m wrong, but my analysis from all this is that hiring a squatter would only be applicable in situations where the person who is occupying the residence never had a lease or contract therefore it is a rare circumstance where it would be a viable option. 

It seems like you enjoy being active and using your hands so maybe the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) is your best bet as you could save some money and do plenty on your own, you could also do a live in flip potentially and sell it or rent it out later.

I don't think we will reach those lows again, but wouldn't necessarily bet against it, either.If you are skittish now, I'd get it on the market right now while there's still a season left, and price it to MOVE.  

I bet you could quickly get an idea about financing, insuring, and feasibility from them.

Perhaps someone with more intimate knowledge of the area can validate or dispel the type of neighborhood this is but it’s normally not good if that’s one of the first things to populate on the internet.
