Buying In small towns

Kylie A.
Posted

Do any of you invest in rental properties, wholesale, or flips in small towns? I’d be looking for areas with major stores or ones that are close to a big city but not too far. I’m thinking a small town could be a great place for me to start compared to big cities. I’m considering either buying a rental since it’s cheaper or purchasing a flip if the market is booming enough. Anyone currently investing in small towns? Let me know your thoughts below

Hey @Kylie A.!  I currently invest only in rural communities and small towns and its allowed me to scale to 24 units in three years.  It is not only possible but it is scale-able.  One community I invest in is currently adding a quarter billion dollar mixed use development the other is at an interstate insertion that 4x's the population with travelers daily.  I'm more than excited to give you more detailed insights if you have more questions! Feel free to connect!

Cheers!
