[Zach Jones]

Arkansas. Your first thought may be hillbillies and animals? Well while that is partially true lol you may want to look deeper. Some amazing things are happening in this area called Northwest Arkansas, an area majority of you probably never heard of...

What is Northwest Arkansas:

University

-University of Arkansas is located in Fayetteville. One of the fastest growing universities in the US.

Investment Opportunities:

They just announced the Walmart New Campus plans last week. If thinking long term, I personally think its a perfect time to invest near the upcoming home office before its hits contstruction. A couple of homes are selling under $115 price per sq ft.

- Downtown bentonville homes were selling at $100 price per sq ft. just a few years back, now many of them are currently selling at $300+ price per sq ft. Tough to invest there, but did find a great investment property there for a client 2 weeks ago.

- Downtown Rogers is at the beginning stages of a huge boom. I would also recommend investing there.

-Pinnacle heights/ Top Golf are going up in west Rogers. Predicting even more growth in the area long term. Some are predicting 250k homes to turn into 600-700k in the years to come.

- I wont be surprised with a growth in smaller towns like Decatur/Gentry. Sold a house to someone working on sealing deal to film a netflix series in Gentry. Decatur just announced a 300m simmons project.
