Hi @Preston Zimny, smaller towns further from the cities can certainly be profitable. I invest in St. Cloud in select areas. The most important thing is to study the market you are interested in. What is the demand for rentals, what industries are there to bring in jobs, how many homes are being built compared to the number of people moving there etc etc. There are certainly deals out there. Best of Luck! Feel free to DM me with any specific questions you may have. And be sure to reach out to @Tim Swierczek to get financing set up. Tim knows the best loan products and he also has several rental properties. He'll be able to provide you with lots of valuable information.
