I highly recommend buying in or nearby a metropolitan/city area. Rental income tends to be higher. If you are looking for a rural area specifically however, I would definitely recommend going into vacation rentals (AirBnB, Vrbo). The nightly rates can be higher if posed as a vacation/retreat rental, regular monthly residential leasing rates tend to be lower amounts. Hope this helps!

I would suggest Googling what cities are growing the fastest. Rents and Appreciation will be the best in those cities vs cities that are losing people. There may be a trend in a general sense to leave cities in favor of more cost-effective suburbs as many companies are making work from home an option. In any area, you typically have A, B and C grades of rental housing. As a beginner pick 'B'. Your agent can help you sort through what's what. Also consider learning about "Buying Property Off Market". The best deals are typically not on the MLS. Buy a property at a better price helps lower your risk and improve your return on investment.

From my own experience saving for a down payment on a home is great in almost any area. Many people qualify for a First Home Buyer loan ,, only require 10% down. Other assistance programs are available. start small , buy home, build equity , and use it to buy another home (reinvest). Renting you will not build wealth.
