I am entertaining the idea of purchasing residential real estate somewhere in Arkansas; renting it out, and eventually selling it in about seven years.

My concern is the growth rate in Arkansas. I don't want to buy a house then sell it for the same price that I purchased it for.

What areas of the state have realistic sustainable long-term growth, enough to propel housing prices upwards over the next seven to ten years? Should I focus on the obvious, Little Rock and Fayetteville, or are there other untapped resources?

Thanks.

I've done the rental property thing.... got one left and I'm selling it as soon as the current lease is complete. Most of my rentals were in Little Rock, but I had much better tenants in the 2 rentals I had in Hot Springs Village.

Many of the renters in HSV are in the process of building a custom home, or are planning to build in the next few years. They are typically older and treat your property better, so fewer repairs and hassles. They pay on time too!

I am familiar with the rental market in some parts of the state. I would honestly suggest NWA. The appreciation rate is faster there than in any other part of the state.

Nwa Is A Great Place To Invest Into Rental Property. If You Have Time To Wait On Return On Investment.

I think the last article I read on the RE market at nwanews.com indicated there were about 2000-3000 unoccupied single family units in the metro region with a huge number of permits issued. Sounds like it's about to bust to me. Sorry, but I don't have a link to the specific article.

Default Rental property

A good place would be Cabot & Jacksonville Arkansas. This is near the Air Base. Always a need for a good rental house. I have 2 in Jacksonville. Moderator cut: comments edited...wrong forum for this

Don't read the papers about the Real Estate market, good news doesn't sell newspapers.

Talk to me or Andrew Caudle.

Default NWA Rental Property

Northwest Arkansas is always a good "bet" for investment property. Fayetteville in particular with the University is particularly lucrative for Landlords.
Condos or other "multi-family" units are a good investment. Moderator cut: see Terms of Service
