Want to know what this year’s loosest small towns in American are? If you’re wholesaling houses, or doing any other form of real estate investing, you better know about this top 10 list by website Budget Travel.

Just exactly how will you be able to use this list? One is to use this “coolest small town” reputation when marketing to out-of-state or even out-of-town buyers. Apart from the usual marketing you use, you can simply tell buyers that something like, “Actually been reading news lately and our town made it in Budget Travel’s ‘Coolest Small Towns in America. Not that it’s a big deal or whatever but it’s kind of cool.” That’s a spiel when wholesaling houses to outsiders.

And now the list:

Ely, Minnesota topped the list. According to a National Geographic photographer who comes home to his small tow, Ely answers the following question. “Where else can you sit out on your porch, listen to a pack of wild wolves howling, and then head down to the pub and share the story?” Wholesaling houses in Ely? Promote the canoe and fishing culture and the wildlife it presents.

Second is Brevard, North Carolina. Wholesaling houses in Brevard? According to Budget travel, this is a redbrick town that regularly hosts town-wide square dances. It’s set in the Blue Ridge Mountains so the relaxing cool mountain breeze is simply a selling factor.

We’d run out of space if we discuss all ten! Anyway, here’s the rest of the list. You get the point now anyway. Saugatuck, Mich.; Bandon, Ore.; Cloverdale, Calif.; Cuero, Texas; Nyack, N.Y.; Egg Harbor, Wis.; Medicine Park, Okla.; and Kennett Square, Penn.
