I'm working on a rehab 30 minutes from me, and it's a challenge.If you posted and said, "I'm interested in Pittsburgh solely because of the price points and don't have any intention of visiting or setting up a team," I'd say, that's nice!

Not only your risk is minor with wholesaling, but you 'll also benefit in the process from the following:1) Acquire essential skills of sourcing off-market deals and negotiating with sellers2) Get access to nice chunks of cash through your assignment fees3) Have an opportunity to tap in to any market throughout the US4) Build a network cash buyers and other industry professionalsAnd perhaps more.

I believe its first important to determine if its the real estate that's the problem or possibly even contributing or solely the buyer.
