In AdWords, under your campaign > settings, scroll down to 'Locations'.
Below shows that the campaign will target only people in the U.S., except for those in Buffalo, NY.
Or maybe U.S. is too broad for you, and you want to reign in your targeting a bit. Say, you want to target a 50-mile radius around Buffalo NY, but still exclude Buffalo itself.
This is how it's reflected on the map:
And this is how it will look in settings.
Under 'Location Options' seen in the above image, make sure that you're targeting people in your target location, and excluding people in your excluded area. "People in, searching for, or who show interest in my excluded location (recommended)" can be really lose with its targeting. My recommendation will keep your targeting much tighter to your intentions here.
On a similar note, with 'Language Targeting' keep in mind that if you target languages other than English (Like Spanish, or French) you will still be targeting only english search queries. This means that someone whose browser is set to Spanish as their preferred language, who searches in english the term "buy houses for cash in Buffalo" will see your ads. If you don't have Spanish as a targeted language in AdWords, and someone searches "buy houses for cash" on a browser with the language preference set to Spanish, they won't see your ad. You miss a lot of bilingual traffic by only targeting English.
Hope that helps!
That's great Sean. I really appreciate it. I'll keep you posted On the progress. Thanks again for taking the time

You can target Adwords (Google's search advertising platform) for terms buyers are searching for, about your area, like "homes for sale in Austin" but geographically exclude the Austin area.
That way, you'll target those searching for homes in Austin, but ONLY to those outside of Austin. If you need further assistance, I can screenshot the settings.
Thanks Sean that would be a huge help if you would screen shot that.
I really appreciate it.

Thanks Lance. I'll listen for sure.

Have your agent look up all the cash purchases in the area over the last year. Are you trying to sell turnkey rentals? Why do you care who buys your flips if you're getting your selling price for them?
Yes turnkey.
I'm going to market in my area as well. Just trying to figure out how to get in touch with out of state owners as well.

I am currently strictly a buy and hold investor.
I am about to start flipping and want to sell to out of town/state cash buyers.
What advice can you give me as far as the best way to get in contact with those out of state cash buyers?
Thanks
