This here is a breakdown of median incomes, city, county for every city considered in "range" meaning they can afford $900 to $2200/mo in rent, and have more than 1500 households.

The hard thing starting out is that you can take a risk with these guys or pay retail plus and go with a household (bp) known outfit.

This strategy works spectacularly well with house hacking, and can bring cash-on-cash returns through the roof but household income must be under the program limits (up to $145,000) to be eligible.

Birmingham passed most of the "rule of thumb" criteria recommended (job growth, household income growth) but the downside is population is -18.60% since 2000, and crime is a bit on the higher side (https://www.deptofnumbers.com/employment/metros/).

Most middle of the road income people I know here have a household income in excess of $200k per year, when measured against a descent home of $500-$550k home, is a pretty good ratio.

Also, I’m very conservative and hate to have these loans out in my name and put additional risk on my family and my personal household.
