While searching up on some of the best places to live across the United States I came across the Top 10 “Best Rural Places to Live” which is provided by: Progressive Farmer & WalletPop.

The funny thing about the housing market and the current economy is that if you were to look on eBay I’m sure you’d fine some homes in and around the above mentioned areas. This could be a great opportunity to purchase some land or even a home in one of the listed “Best of” states to where you can turn a profit once the market turns back around.
