Criteria for Little Rock Arkansas

[Kari D.]

This question is for both flippers and buy and hold investors:

-What are your top 5 neighborhoods you prefer to buy in and why do you prefer those neighborhoods?

-What are the top 5 neighborhoods you AVOID buying in and why?

If you are patient, you can get 1% deals in Maumelle, WLR, and definitely Central LR.  Jacksonville is tempting because of the air base, but it's a sea of red on the Trulia crime map, so I've been hesitant to explore there.  We have been mainly flipping so far with a goal of adding 1%+ buy-and-holds in nicer areas of Central AR and recently kept a 1.25% deal in an older but nice area of Maumelle.   I'm having difficulty keeping my wife focused on flips since 1% deals are easier to find  than 70% Rule deals in the areas that we like.
