Houses are still affordable (new construction especially), taxes are low, but I'm concerned if people really rent there (86% owner occupied). 

For "seasoned" investors, its not a true issue since they would have the reserves to handle it.One technique to try is the "brrrr" method. 

Hi Season, I run a virtual call center that helps RE Agents and investors with calling.

Most of our properties were fairly basic 1960’s ranch homes, which we made small improvements to like adding red mulch, painting front doors and shutters, and planting hearty, low maintenance bushes like boxwoods.

Maintenance fees and other costs have been very low as well. 

Taking advantage of the fear in the market for buyers/sellers and made a low offer that worked!

You might find people that charge low rates, high rates, lots of fees, no fees.I'd focus on competency.

Multi family you can get as low as 50k/unit for something decent. 50-125k/unit is the general range for prices to still have positive cash flow from day 1 with your typical 20-25% down payment. 1-1.5% rent/price ratio in most cases. 

NOW this is a low number since I am a contractor  ( And this is going to be my house )  And I called in some favors . . 

We currently rent the unit out as an MTR during the slow season and an STR during the spring and summer.
