Question about investing in rural communities

[Bill Meeks]

Hi, I'm a new investor with 1 rental property under my belt. Looking to acquire either a second rental or do a rehab project. The thing I was wondering about is what is the general thought regarding investing in smaller, rural communities? The prices are much more affordable and I could scale a rental portfolio much quicker than in the city/suburbs, just wondering if they are too risky with the lack of employment opportunities in the immediate area. I'm in NE Oklahoma.
