Hey @Ashley Wong,I don’t have much insight into Columbus or Tulsa, but I run a turnkey provider in Huntsville and can vouch for the area—for two reasons.First, Huntsville’s strong demographic headwinds have led to steady and sustainable population growth (+20% in the last decade), while the city’s abundance of high-quality STEM jobs—brought to the area by industry heavyweights like Dynetics, Boeing, FBI, Redstone Arsenal, Blue Origin, and others—have attracted numerous well-heeled millennial renters.

According to this NYT article "It can cost as much as $10.5 million for a title-contending starting offense and defense in the new Power Four conferences."

(I wrote about it in this thread.)The New York Times has indirectly addressed your question a few times -- in this 2019 story and this 2023 article -- where they discuss areas that will fare better in an era of extreme weather and climate change.

@Travis Andres  I have read about him and you can google articles also. 

I moved from Florida to start investing in Columbus because of the same reason.https://www.zillow.com/learn/hottest-housing-markets-2024/Read this article on the "core 4".

As a landlord and property manager, I've taken numerous calls from people who needed a place to rent ASAP because their landlord sold the house they were in out from under them.

Bottom line - All hype, bs, misinterpretation, opinion bias, etc aside, sellers willing “owner finance” the sale of their property for one reason - and one reason only: They PERCEIVE that they are getting a higher price for their property by owner financing than by a cash (cash to them) sale.The “perceive” part is why buyers can sometimes structure terms ridiculously one sided in their favor - because some sellers are so focused on PRICE they become oblivious to anything else.It’s why I and numerous others have been able to structure 20 year owner financing loans at ZERO interest; why sellers have accepted “substitution of collateral” that gave them a lien on recreational land I had rather than their own income producing property; why sellers accept second position liens and allow buyers to obtain new first mortgages ahead of theirs (subordination), and why sellers always accept mortgages without my personal guarantee.I myself sell properties and provide owner financing to obtain a higher price.

Take a look at BP's blog where new articles are published every day: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog4.

I have listened to NUMEROUS episodes Of LLD. 

But when it comes to rankings, I've heard numerous people say once they mastered Airbnb and applied the same principles to VRBO their rankings came up.
