The more it hits the fan, we are good, people want to move to the country side.  25 minutes to 1mm metro area.  

Too cold in winter, but beautiful countryside in summers!

Just be aware that while property may cash flow relatively well, when it comes time to sell the property it is easier to sell in a more densely populated area, especially if close to certain amenities like universities than it is to sell in the county or countryside.  

I ended up using Countryside Property Management based out in Modesto.

The down side for me is I do have a rather demanding full time job, and a family, so I just don't have the time to scour the country side like I would like to.

I drove across Texas once from MS to NM.. there is not a lot of appealing country side and nothing like Lake Tahoe, Yosemite valley, Crater lake, Lake Chelan, Columbia river gorge, Mt.

I am a pretty big fan of Tampa REIA, Larry Harbolt's Monday night meeting and of course the Tampa Bay Real Estate Investing Meet Up that I host the first Sunday of every month at the Countryside library in Clearwater.

When back east I noticed multis 2,3,4 plexes could be found in nice neighborhoods and scattered throughout the Countryside.

I hope to grow with this community just like my coding community.So far, I've invested in one townhouse in the Countryside area in Sterling, VA.  

He thinks that other states like Florida, Texas, and Virginia are all the countryside with not a lot of big buildings where things are very very far apart.
