How to know if an area would be great for Investors

[James Stockton]

Hello Everyone!

I've got a bit of a dilemma here. I've got a seller who wants to sell their property in an area that I've never been to. It's a town called Buffalo, MO. I'm worried that the location would scare off most investors because the schools in the area aren't great 5/10. 

Is there any advice on how I can wholesale a deal that is in less than a desirable area? Would I have to make the numbers outrageously low for someone to take the deal from me or is it just not possible with an area that doesn't have a huge population or large rental base?
