New wholesaler outside the U.S. eyeing Idaho. Good starting market?

Question

Hey everyone, I'm new to real estate and want to start wholesaling U.S. deals remotely (bird-dogging and assignments) from outside the country. I've studied the basics, but I haven't closed a deal yet.

I'm looking at Idaho as my first market. A few questions:

Is it beginner-friendly for a remote wholesaler?

Which areas have the strongest cash-buyer activity?

Any Idaho laws I should know before assigning contracts?

How would you build a buyers list in a market you can't visit?

I'm also happy to help any investor with deal sourcing or research while I learn. Thanks for any advice!

Muhammad, starting remotely is possible, but I’d focus less on finding the “perfect” market and more on building a repeatable process.

For a remote wholesaler, the biggest advantage comes from having strong local relationships. A reliable title company, investor-friendly agents, contractors, and active cash buyers will usually matter more than simply picking a state from a list.

Idaho can work, but I’d spend time understanding the specific city and neighborhoods rather than the state as a whole. A market can look attractive overall but still have very different levels of investor activity depending on the area.
For building a buyers list remotely, I’d start by studying recent cash transactions, connecting with active investors, attending local investor meetups virtually, and building relationships before you actually have a contract to assign. Having buyers before you find deals makes the process much smoother.

Also, since you’re operating from outside the U.S., make sure you understand the state-specific rules around wholesaling, contracts, disclosures, and assignment agreements. Having a local real-estate attorney or title company you trust is valuable.
