Renting out houses in the country? More interest, and more rent?

[Jacob Kendall]

I'm just starting out in this "hobby." But I would like everyone's opinion. 

 It seem's like %80 percent of the people I know that live in town, want to live in the country.

Would buying houses outside of city limits make people want to rent out my houses more? And also can I ask more for rent per month because I have what everyone wants? 

 Feedback would be appreciated!! :)
