Wholesaling in smaller population cities, advice?
I've been finding great off-market deals for homes in more rural locations. Homes in cities with less than 250,000 populations and a long drive away from major markets.
Are these deals worth putting an offer for? How do I gauge whether it's a location that a buyer would be willing to invest in?

Don't take this wrong or harsh but you are doing it backwards. Build your buyers list first then look for deals that those buyers want. See if those cities have a real estate investor group or meetup you can join. Build that buyers list first and you can sell in any town. Hope this helps.
