My question is, is it worth investing in a smaller town if there are signs of these major improvements or is it better to pursue investments in more established cities?

And that trend is showing no signs of turning in the other direction.

I think it would, depending on the celebrity of course.

With ample time on my hands, I’m offering my assistance to experienced investors—whether it’s managing properties, finding deals, or lending my skills as an insured notary and signing agent.

An agent can still add significant value after the contract is signed.

Especially since you don't have a signed document.

Listing rental rates do NOT equate to signed rental rates. 

This statement is signed by every applicant.2.

Before we sign anything I'd like to get some feedback.
