What's the best min population size to consider when buying?
I am considering investing in some property in a small town in Iowa. The population as of 2018 was about 6,000. It's about 20ish miles from Waterloo, IA; so fairly close to a larger city in the state. Has anyone purchased property in small towns and was there difficulty locating good tenants?

We have investment properties in several small towns around Waterloo including Dysart, Independence, Sumner, Winthrop, Waverly and Hudson. I'm also the broker/owner of a PM company based out of Waterloo and we reach about 30-45 miles in every direction. We've had a lot of success in small towns. For example, in Independence (population of 6,000) we have about 80 rentals and zero vacancy right now.
