Buying rentals in rural areas?

[Nick Eckemoff]

I did a search and found a few threads about this but they are pretty old.

I am having a hard time finding properties in cities and suburbs that are what I'd consider a deal due to the high demand and low supply. However if you look In rural areas, there does seem to be opportunity to snag some deals.

Does anyone buy rentals in rural areas and are willing to share their experience in today's sellers market? Perhaps the property isn't even a small town, but literally out in the country 15-30 minutes away from the nearest town.

What concerns me is I'd buy something and then it sits vacant for months, so I've been focusing on good locations...along with everyone else.
